Optimistic Press - Right

USATODAY.com - Top Iraq official: Government likely to be formed within next fewdays,
This is good news right? Let us look at the how the reporter saw it
  1. "tortured negotations"
  2. "Iraqi politicians, however, have been reporting they were near a deal for at least a month.
  3. "Insurgents, meanwhile, continued efforts"
BAGHDAD (AP) - The Shiite Muslim politician likely to be Iraq's next prime minister said Saturday the country's long-awaited government could be formed within days, an accomplishment that would mark the end of nearly two months of tortured negotiations after the nation's first free elections in a half-century.
Iraqi politicians, however, have been reporting they were near a deal for at least a month.
Insurgents, meanwhile, continued efforts to thwart political progress by blowing up a car Saturday near a U.S. military patrol in Baghdad, killing two American soldiers and wounding two others. A day earlier, the military said, a U.S. Marine died in action in Anbar province, the insurgent heartland stretching from west of Baghdad to the Jordanian and Syrian borders.
These three optimistic statements were introduced in the first four sentences -- have to love these feel good stories don't you.
