Another defector

Seems yet another Democrat has gone to Iraq and been converted. (This via the inestimal Michelle Malkin's blog, as usual.)
Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Indiana) just came back from his second trip to Iraq in five months, and has publicly stated that we're winning the war:
"...we seem to be heading toward a place where the Iraqis can be self-sustaining and we’ll have a smaller presence in the background.”
Donnelly’s findings were in stark contrast to his visit to Iraq last July, when he said the only positive thing that happened in that country since the beginning of the war in March 2003 was the ouster of Saddam Hussein.
Donnelly met with members of Company F of the 151st Infantry, an Indiana National Guard unit from South Bend, who told him that in the past 60 days life in Iraq has gotten safer.
“Things are better than they were in their first few months of deployment,” Donnelly said. Donnelly, who traveled to Iraq with Rep. Gene Taylor, D-Miss., Rep. Phil English, R-Pa., and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said the congressional delegation heard the same thing from Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq.

Rico says he can't wait for Rep. English to weigh in; he'll have to find out where the congressman's district is, and prod him.
Durn, he's out near Erie. I don't think he'll think of me as a constituent...
