Is anyone winning in Iraq?

Well, yes. The Iraqis are. Slowly, but very surely, they are taking over their own defense. Thanks to Winds of Change for the current status of the Iraqi takeover from the coalition. Scroll down to Rundown Levels to properly orient yourself for the militaryspeak of this item.

If there are sixty to seventy Iraqi battalions capable of fighting alongside coalition forces, and a few others who fight on their own, and even plan forays and strikes, well that sounds like progress to me. And these are people becoming self-sufficient, solid freedom fighters.

Hmmm, maybe WE really are winning.

And just a touch from the homefront: A short item from a new translation of the Bible. Hat tip to the Happy Catholic.
