Conservative Blogs, Newspapers Spin Durbin’s ‘Very Discouraging’ Iraq Assessment

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) recently returned from a trip to Iraq and reported that, while he sees some signs of quietude in select areas, the larger mission is doomed because political reconciliation is “coming apart”:

There were two important parts of this story, the military part as Senator Casey said, where men and women were doing their best and making real progress. <…>

But I have to tell you there’s another side to this story…As we are seeing military progress, the political scene is very discouraging. We are seeing this al Maliki government, which was once branded the government of unity, coming apart. We see Shia’s leaving, Sunnis walking out. It’s not the kind of promise that we want in terms of bringing stability to this country.
