When will the media start praising the military and the stunning turnaround in Iraq?

It's getting harder and harder for them to ignore;
Rep. John Kline, returning from his fifth trip to Iraq, said Tuesday he saw “amazing” progress in the security situation there, and a sense of normalcy returning among Iraqi people.

Kline, R-Minn., traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan over the weekend as part of a bipartisan House Armed Services Committee trip led by Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii.

“The security situation there is just truly amazing. Just amazing,” he said in a telephone interview. Kline said the Marine battalion commander there told the lawmakers that violence is way down.

“One of the great advantages of going is you can look and get a sense of what the atmosphere is,” Kline said. “People are going about their business, the shops are open, they’re walking around the street.”

The take by Kline, a conservative Republican, was similar to one by the state’s liberal Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, who visited Ramadi in July. In that trip, Ellison noted that people were walking the streets of the city, going to the market, and he had commented on the “general level of respect and calm that I thought was good.”
