Well, this certainly won't make the headlines. I couldn't believe it when I heard it on the radio.....Janet said what???? Maybe there is hope.

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano has been in Iraq this week visiting troops and surveying the situation in the war zone.
....
Napolitano -- in a conference call with reporters from Kuwait on Wednesday -- offered a different take on the Iraq War than many of her fellow Democrats. She did not call for a withdrawal of U.S. troops, saying it is no easy chore to withdraw or redeploy troops out of Baghdad and other hotspots.
...
Many Democrats support a U.S. troop withdrawal or moving troops into training bases and off the streets of Baghdad.
"That's easier said than done," said Napolitano of moving troops. "You just don't snap your fingers."
She stressed that it is too early to tell if the recent 21,500 addition to U.S. troops is paying dividends, but added that military personnel on the ground noted a decline in some attacks. The governor said U.S. forces need to restore stability to Baghdad and other violent regions and the U.S. should stabilize the country before leaving.
