Starting to stabilize? Is this kind of like Cheney claiming the insurgents were in their last days about 9 months ago? Silly Republicans, wishing doesn't make it so. Our own generals have said that it would take twice the amount of troops and equipment to completely stabilize Iraq. We may have some small areas stabilized but we do not have the men or resources to do that over a large area or to do it for an extended length of time.

I hope this plan works, I despise Bush and this chaos he has gotten us into, but above all I hope this plan works. It shows signs of working, but even the generals are saying it's too soon to draw any conclusions. They are still afraid that the soldiers set down in these towns are sitting ducks and that the militias have pulled back to plan their attack. I hope that isn't true. There are good signs, and after all these years it's about time for one of Bush's plans to work. I get your connection to the liberal media blah blah blah, though I think it's nothing but a convenient catch phrase. But what in the heck does supporting Hillary Clinton for the Presidency have to do with anyone supposedly not being happy or being happy that the plan shows some sign of success? Despite all the propaganda being shoveled, those who oppose this war do not view failure as the way to go. They are simply tired of the incompetence and mishandling of this war. It doesn't mean they wouldn't be pleased to actually see progress for the first time since we invaded.

Don't kid yourself. There is a lull in Iraq however wait for the dust to settle down and watch for renewed activity very soon. The groups are now sitting it out and regrouping. They are making plans for the future. When the time is ripe for these murderers they will let go with everything they have so they can expell the American troops more quickly. They know that America is now no longer behind the war. They will use this to their advantage. Watch. One doesn't have to be a genius to understand the mentality of the Muslims.

Well, look who's calling the kettle black a little too earlier--as usual.
Let's see:
The death of Saddam's sons=a major blow to the insurgency.
Three elections, an interim government, the formation of the new government=a major blow to the insurgency.
The capture of Saddam=a major blow to the insurgency.
The death of Zarqawi last year=a major blow to the insurgency.
The death of Saddam=a major blow to the insurgency...
What makes you think that this unrealistic troop surge will have any REAL effect on the war between the Sunnis and the Shiites--especially since the car bombings and violence has yet to cease?

I heard a general talking about it today... he said it's working in Baghdad... but now the insurgents are just attacking other towns and we need more troops to stabilize all those towns too?
so... you just moved them to everywhere else...
saying it worked is like giving someone 10 $1 bills to someone for a $10 dollar bill and telling them they have more money than you...
it's the same amount of problems... you're just moving them around and saying "look at how great things are in Baghdad" while the rest of Iraq is destabilizing...

First of all, the "surge" hasn't arrived yet.
Secondly, Iraq is not becoming stabile.
Thirdly, the No. 2 U.S. commander in Iraq (Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno) conceded that a military "surge" escalation would not be enough to rescue Iraq, advocating economic and political changes as well.

Well, the troop "surge" is a partial 2 divisions of 5 full divisions expected.
Stabilize? You are joking? right?
No, it has not stabilized, nor will it ever be stable.

The Iraqis are realizing that they have to begin fighting for themselves. The presense of US troops is a major motivation for the insurgent troops. If we get out they are pretty much stuck with each other.

Iraq is not stable, news is squashed about USA deaths.
Iraqi deaths are up and the country is waiting to expel the occupying USA forces. It will surely implode at that time.
A new more brutal SADDAM II will emerge and laugh at the USA, while thanking Bush for billions i aid and for eliminating his competition.
It will probably be Al Sadr. Allah akhbar and the west will slink back to their synogogues and churches.

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but if it is, shame on you. I'm going to treat it, in the spirit of yahoo answers, as if it's a serious question.
Iraq isn't stabilizing, and the troop surge hasn't happened yet.
Props yo.
