Sali, Minnick Cite Progress In Iraq War

Item: Sali, Minnick cite progress in Iraq War/Erika Bolstad, Idaho Statesman

More Info: Sali's general election opponent, Democrat Walt Minnick, said he, too, thought that the surge has brought stability to Iraq. The leadership of the U.S. military commander, Gen. David Petraeus, has made it possible to consider reducing the U.S. presence, Minnick said. He also said he's encouraged by how the country's prime minister, Nouri al Maliki, wants to discuss a timetable for withdrawing U.S. troops.

Question: Do you agree with Demo Walt Minnick that the surge has brought stability to Iraq?
