Damn, there are still some seriously deluded people out there

Now that I type this I wonder if the more important question is why this appeared on my Google homepage as a news item, since it's obviously little more than a right-wing diatribe from some goon who believes that everything is going just swell in Iraq. Anyway, read this...

The Turning Point
September 14, 2007: 08:05 PM EST

Sep. 14, 2007 (Investor's Business Daily delivered by Newstex) --

War In Iraq: Years from now, people will look back on last week as truly historic. It began with Gen. David Petraeus' fact-filled account of our success on the ground, and it ended with President Bush making the case, stronger than ever, for finishing the job.

Petraeus' detailed report seems particularly damning to those who oppose our mission in Iraq. Clearly, a major change has occurred there. Petraeus' words make it clear al-Qaida is on the run. Yes, he confirmed, we're winning -- and he backed up his conclusion with facts. Among them:

"Security incidents" since the surge began in mid-June have fallen in eight of the past 12 weeks. Attacks in the past two weeks were the lowest since April 2006.

Civilian deaths, excluding natural causes, have plunged 45% in Iraq since December, and by a whopping 70% in Baghdad.

"Ethnosectarian" deaths -- basically, deaths resulting from Sunni-Shiite-Kurdish religious and ethnic strife -- have plummeted 55% in the same period.
