This is from the much-hated CNN (I've ranted about them on here from time to time, too lazy to search). Its enlightening that a very liberal arm of the media would dare to splash this on their front page. Must have been a tough decision (seriously). I think they're right, and I also think that Iraq is definitely on the upswing (whereas a year ago, half a year ago, it definitely was civil war. But you won't hear that from the media.
