Senator Saxby Chambliss traveled to Iraq this weekend and says he found "truly amazing" progress during a trip. Despite a particularly deadly month for U.S. soldiers in April, the Republican from Moultrie said he is optimistic that the ongoing military offensive can quell violence and stabilize the government. Chambliss acknowledged that what he called "challenges" persist, particularly on the political side. But citing progress in the city of Ramadi west of Baghdad, he expressed confidence that the military strategy of rooting out insurgents and "holding" unstable areas would work.
