How do we support a government that won't fully embrace the freedom we're fighting so hard to instill over there? Amazing to think so many would rather remain beneath tyranny than truly grasp it for themselves. It's glorious to think of the American forefathers and the truly fantastic step they took in creating an entire nation from simple ideals of freedom and the integrity of the individual. Petraeus is doing something absolutely brilliant - he's taking the power and giving it directly to the party who should have it the most - the people. That was what our forefathers wanted - the wealth of power should reside at the lowest level possible, so that no single entity could wield it tyranically - thus United States versus the Republic of America; united being the key word here. Petraeus is working to infuse the lowest-level population with the better understanding of freedom and letting them dictate to their government how that freedom should be spent. Too bad our MTV youth in the states don't understand this term at all. They think the government is corrupt, while handing themselves over to it. Right now we're handing the USG the power of the people on a silver platter because they despite "responsibility." So, we're providing direct funds to the people on the streets so they can rebuild themselves. The crux of this will be if they turn on us despite our charity or if they understand what we're fighting for. Throwing money will solve nothing if the heart behind the gift isn't fully understood. THAT is our most difficult battle to win. This becomes a difficult situation. How do we support a government that won’t fully embrace the freedom we’re fighting so hard to instill over there?

The Iraqi press goes for the "less is more" (less likely to get more bullets shot at 'em), while the csm version gets into editorializing - and noticably not in a "pro-surge" manner. The media in the West is the West's worst enemy. Note the differences between the two reports - and the complete absence of any ap coverage.

That's "triumphant breakthrough", when translated while considering the source. The Voice Of Iraq says, “a degree of success”!
