H1 New York Times Delay Decision on Major Cuts, Petraeus Says By MICHAEL R. GORDON

Gen. David H. Petraeus’s recommendations will likely lead to an earlier-than-expected start to troop reductions in Iraq, while deferring decisions on a wider withdrawal.

Washington Post The Bottom-Up Partition By Jackson Diehl, The benchmark-centered reports on Iraq agree: The "surge" has failed to achieve its most fundamental objective, which is to catalyze a political reconciliation among Iraqis.

New York Times At Street Level, Unmet Goals of Troop Buildup The U.S. troop “surge” has slowed, but far from stopped, Iraq’s civil war, repeated visits to Baghdad neighborhoods show.

Los Angeles Times Petraeus' Iraq report may be short on surprises The general is widely expected to back the troop buildup and warn against a major withdrawal.

Amid civil war, reports mean little By Steven Simon and Ray Takeyh Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds all want something that U.S. military strategy and 'reconciliation' can't accomplish in Iraq.

Editorial Cross-examine Petraeus

The general and Ambassador Crocker must do more than argue that the 'surge' is working; they must give Bush an exit strategy.

A fading superpower? By David Rieff Like all empires before it, the U.S. will slip from the top of the heap. Let's start getting ready.

The 'surge' is working By Max Boot Casualties are down and security is improving in Iraq; Washington must give the strategy more time.

Wall Street isn't the economy

By Ezra Klein The stock market is just a single indicator that often has little do with the health of a very large economy.

First, he's already won a presidential election; he was merely denied his rightful victory by an ethically compromised Supreme Court majority. Second, to the extent that foreign policy and terrorism remain potential Democratic weaknesses, he has extensive experience and expertise in dealing with both. Third, he was right on Iraq. And fourth and most importantly, he has reemerged in the Bush era as a completely different man from the cautious candidate, surrounded by too many consultants, we saw in the 2000 campaign.
