Interesting Choice of Headlines

From FOXNews.com

Sens. Warner and Levin Travel to Iraq, Praise Surge Results

From McClatchy
Senators offer bleak assessment of Iraq after governor killed

The story from both articles is basically the same; while the "surge" is creating some military successes, there is no progress on the Iraqi political front and they saw little hope in its prospects. As I said about the upcoming September report, there will be enough points contained in it for both sides to latch onto to "prove" their side of the story. It's just that the side coming out of the White House and Fox News has to play down the really important points about the lack of political progress to make their case.
