That the "surge is really working" must come as a real shock to the dozens of innocent Sunni families gunned down today in Tall Afar by rampaging Shiite militia and policemen. The US has done this for the last 3 failed years. They pour troops into one area (currently Baghdad), and say, "look at how under control it is". Meanwhile the rest of the country spirals out of control. So then the US pulls troops out of Baghdad and rushes them to Tall Afar, and say "look, we've restored order". Then idiots get on Yahoo! Answers and say, "Now that the surge in Tall Afar is working....". Meanwhile, Baghdad resumes going all to hell. Repeat ad naseum.....

don't you mean cons just hate? The 'libs' are the ones that are trying to get things done, the cons are trying to cover their mistakes. The cons are the ones willing to kill innocent people just to be able to say 'we aren't wrong'
Not just in Iraq, but every action a con takes is to force their own warped ideas on everyone that thinks different.
Go be an inbred moron elsewhere.

The so-called "surge" is not working. In fact nothing at all is working in Iraq. Except death and destruction.

The surge is not working. Violence continues on the streets of Iraq.

At a time when we are celebrating our enlightened abolition of slavery 200 years ago, we are continuing to commit one of the worst international abuses of human rights of the past half-century. It is inexplicable how we allowed this to happen. It is inexplicable why we are not demanding this government's mass resignation.
Two hundred years from now, the Iraq war will be mourned as the moment when America violated its delicate democratic constitution and joined the ranks of nations that use extreme pre-emptive killing as a tactic of foreign policy. Some anniversary that will be.

Give the man a ceeegar.
Why do you think they're so intent on putting a withdrawal date in stone? Because they know that once the public realizes that the surge is working, they'll lose some of their political power.

Deaths are down because the Shia have stood down. The surge is still a wet dream for the cons.

Working how? The insurgents have headed for the hills to wait for an opening.
