GOP Lawmaker: US "continues to win on every front" in Iraq

A suicide bombing yesterday killed 28 people.  26 US soldiers have died within the last week.  Four more Sunni ministers are boycotting all government meetings.  US troops levels are at their highest levels since the end of major combat operations was declared more than four years ago.

Congressman Jeff Miller (R-FL) thinks it's all going just wonderful:

U.S. forces are making strides in Iraq,leading military leaders to reveal more about when Americans might seetheir troops come home for good, U.S. Rep. Jeff Miller said todayduring an interview from the region.

“Our military continues to win on every front,” the Chumuckla Republican said via telephone from Pakistan.

“While much remains to be done, the surge isaccomplishing what coalition forces in the United States wanted, andthat is providing stability so that now diplomatic discussions canproceed,” he said.

“It would be very foolish to have surgedmilitarily, “secured,” or at least brought down the level of violenceand stabilized the area, and then immediately begin to withdraw thosetroops again,” he said. “I would expect continue to see troop levels asthey are now into ’08.”

The pop star Pink should have mentioned Congressman Miller in her new song "Dear Mr. President."
