On positive signs

Cheney says the Brits troop withdrawal is a positive sign:

TOKYO, Feb. 21, 2007 — British Prime Minister Tony Blair's announcement that British troops will begin withdrawing from Iraq would appear to be bad news for the Bush administration.

Blair said today that Britain will cut its forces in Iraq to 5,500 by summer, down from 7,100 currently. And additional cuts to as few as 5,000 British troops in Iraq are possible by the end of summer, Blair said.

But in an exclusive interview with ABC News, Vice President Dick Cheney said the move was actually good news and a sign of progress in Iraq.

Well then, I have a suggestion. If the Brits' withdrawal is a positive sign, think how much more positive the American's withdrawal would be.

Stop the escalation!
