Another 2 car bombs killing at least 56 people right in the center of Baghdad, despite the surges this week.
At least 8 US military killed and 14 critically injured in Helicopter 'crash'.
Isn't it time to support the military and bring them home from the Quagmire that is IRAQ?

Right.... The surge hasn't started yet eh? So what was all that about last week surging through 3 Shiitte neighborhoods and closing them down.. You Bushcos make me laugh.

This is the third surge since Shia Iranian ally al-Maliki has been in power. Maliki has ALREADY gone back on his word to crack down on Shiite (and Iranian allied) militias, insurgents and terrorists. There has been ZERO action against Muqtada al-Sadr and his thugs which was promised by Maliki. Charlie Brown Bush got played again, Lucy keeps pulling that darn ball away!

If you've been watching the media, even CNN, they have stated that the new tactics of closing the borders has had a temporary effect. The troop surges have been more of a trickle, not a deluge, they are being phased in. The work last week was due to reassigning US troops to work alongside Iraqi troops in Bagdad, not new troops arriving in country.
Bringing the troops home is not an option. We dismantled Iraqs Army and they have no defenses. Leaving now is more dangerous than staying.
And your use of the term "Bushco" is so disingenuous. Can't you debate without name calling? Why does the actions of the United States bother you so much? Fix your own country and then your input may be valid.

aha but the surge is working, for the Military Industrial complex, its generating funds. Now will it end the civil war , no, should we get out ant leave Iraqis to kill each other , yes, should we go after Bin Ladden , hell yes, but then hes not in Iraq nor Iran, hes funded by Saudis though,

"Surge?" Isn't that a soft drink? I'm not sure how sending it to Iraq would make anyone any less tense.

George Bush can 'surge' as much as he likes, but 'surges' don't work in civil wars. It only provides more targets.
For his 'policy' to work, he has to take sides, and that will only cause more problems.

It has to be given time to work and to discredit the "surge" before it even happens to the full extent is a perfect example of the "surrender" attitude of many on the left.

Gee it just started,in fact talk about not giving something a chance to work. But then again it has turned out to be a country entirely inhabited by savages who want to kill each other. And you can only hold that much hatred at bay so much.

It is too soon to judge the success or failure of a surge that has barely begun.

I guess you would have to define success. Did you mean that Bush sends the troops and every thing is perfect?
I will view it as successful if over time we see an improvement in the conditions.
