constitution ratified: check.

elections in dec.: planned, check pending.

sunnis joining political process: technically, check. some sunnis have taken
part in "the political process" (kinda' vague, tho').

insurgency down: not so much a check as a brown flag.

more and more iraqi troops trained: sure; they need to make up for the loss of the tens of battalions that were reported ready a year or so ago. they're down to, what is it, one?

personally, i do think it's a mess. and i think anyone associated w/ the occupation in any way would agree it's an ugly, ugly situation.
it's war, after all.
