The Sunday Telegraph carries this story today:

The critics said it couldn't be done, but the vision and determination of General David Petraeus have brought greater security and cause for optimism to the people of Iraq. He is The Sunday Telegraph's Person of the Year.

The piece is worth reading, and the award is well deserved. It's nice to see that the current success in Iraq is finally getting through in the British press. And if you haven't yet read the boss's editorial in this week's issue, here it is: Gen. David Petraeus, Man of the Year.
