[Gov. Janet Napolitano's recent statements supporting military operations in Iraq and saying she has no plans to call for a troop withdrawal are drawing criticism from members of her own Democratic Party who've lost patience with the war.
Napolitano made her first visit to Iraq this month at the invitation of Defense Secretary Robert Gates. After two days of conversations with soldiers, military commanders and other officials, she came away cautiously optimistic about the country's security situation and the potential for success with the recent decision to increase troop strength in Baghdad.
"People that I met with were cautiously optimistic that they're at least seeing improvement," Napolitano told reporters at the time. "I think we're restoring stability."]

No surprise that a lot of Democrats do not like hearing comments like that from a Democrat.
