U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind) has returned from a 2nd trip to Iraq and sees evidence the surge is working.
“I feel we’ve made progress, and the other part is I feel we can see an end game in sight. Gen. (David) Petraeus is working a plan and we seem to be heading toward a place where the Iraqis can be self-sustaining and we’ll have a smaller presence in the background.”
Donnelly’s findings were in stark contrast to his visit to Iraq last July, when he said the only positive thing that happened in that country since the beginning of the war in March 2003 was the ouster of Saddam Hussein.
Previous converts: John Murtha, General Batiste.
