Actual political progress in Iraq

All you pessimists and America-haters out there who want to point to the lack of political progress in Iraq as a major failure of the Bush Administration and its War Policies, who say that the Maliki is a WH puppet, who say that the various political factions boycott the process and never agree on anything, who say that the parliament can't pass any legislation, who just generally say that the Iraqi government is broken and that the country is anarchic and lawless, well, to all of you people, suck on this:

Baghdad (AP):

Two armored sport-utility vehicles were badly damaged and heavily burned, according to AP photos from the scene.

U.S. authorities confiscated an AP Television News videotape that contained scenes of the wounded being evacuated. U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl told the AP the government of Iraq had made it illegal to photograph or videotape the aftermath of bombings or other attacks.
