Interesting this was buried so deeply

Iraqi Prime Minister Says That Civil War Has Been Prevented - washingtonpost.com Could it be that the WaPo and the MSM generally don't want to report on good news from Iraq? No, it couldn't be that. (The main Iraq article on the WaPo homepage right now is about Blackwater - bad news.)

Civil war has been averted in Iraq and Iranian intervention there has "ceased to exist," Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said yesterday.

"I can't say there is a picture of roses and flowers in Iraq," Maliki told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. "However, I can say that the greatest victory, of which I am proud . . . is stopping the explosion of a sectarian war." That possibility, he said, "is now far away."

Doesn't fit with the George Soros/Moveon.org/NY Slimes version of events. [via Confederate Yankee via Les Jones]
