Good News from Iraq

This will probably get lost in the election news, but there is great progress to report from Iraq:

October is on track to be the first month in which no U.S. troops have died in combat in Baghdad...

The news comes in a week in which the troops have already made headlines. Their latest milestone? Two days ago, the U.S. military had handed over control of yet another province to the people of Iraq. This is the 13th of the country's 18 provinces to be placed back in Iraqi control, a sign of the tremendous dedication of the men and women of our military.

Remember, Obama opposed the surge and even said that he still wouldn't have supported it, even knowing in hindsight that it worked. McCain was an early supporter of the surge and helped push Bush into doing it. I think what it says about their foreign policy judgment is pretty clear.
