It's a shame that left-wing prick George W. Bush has bought into this whole "it's not going well" mindset. I believe today the word he used was "horrific". The left-wing media strikes again.

Most infastructure damage now is a result of the insurgancy/civil war and not from the United States nor can it be blamed on the United States wholey.
The hate between Sunni and Shiias has been around for centuries, this is definitely not something the US has caused..just before there was US involvement, it was mainly Sunni slaughter against Shias and Kurds.
Sure there was not day-to-day bombings but there was still large scale killings nevertheless.
My point was, i've already said... I was not in support of the Iraq war, never was never will be. But the fact of the matter is, whats
done is done and if the US leaves prematurely all hell will break lose in that entire region. It's time to stop the blame game and focus on whats important. The media is simply furthering that agenda, the constant negative publicity could eventually force a withdrawl which would result in the breakdown of the entire region.
Basically all i'm saying is the media is swaying the public into believing one thing, when the opposite needs to happen.
