US will hand Iraqis control of Karbala



The title, now for the bias slam:

Karbala will become only the eighth of Iraq's 18 provinces to revert to Iraqi control, despite President Bush's prediction in January that the Iraqi government would have responsibility for security in all of the provinces by November.

Instead of focusing on how much achievement has been done, and how much closer we are to achieving the goals, they instead turn our President's comments about (IMO) when he 'expects' not predicts, the Iraqis to be taking control, into some kind of effing failure.

"only" the eighth? geewiz gilligan, those numbers are growing, golly, what do we do

They will make a negative out of a positive any way they can.

Sans bias:

Karbala will become the eighth of Iraq's provinces to revert to Iraqi control. As with the others, the Iraqi government will have responsibility for security. President Bush hopes to have all provinces under Iraqi control soon.
