Iraq Says Truck Bomb in North Killed 152...surge working?

[spanone]

I just heard John McCain from Baghdad trying to tell the American people how swell things are going in Iraq.

The lying bastard

~snip~ BAGHDAD, March 31 — The Iraqi government on Saturday gave its first official reckoning of the truck bombing Tuesday in the northern city of Tal Afar, putting the death toll at 152 people, a number about double that in early reports.
The bombing, which left 347 other people in a poor Shiite neighborhood wounded, set off a wave of reprisals by Shiite policemen and others that left another 47 people dead and shattered the image of Tal Afar held up by American politicians last year as a model of a turbulent city turned peaceful.

3. Yep! It's working to spread the violence all around the country

McCain was on earlier talking about his trip into a market and trumpeting that the number of murders in Iraq had gone down. Shortly after he said that the guy on MSNBC said that in fact the Iraq government had just reported that the number of Iraqis murdered had gone up 13% from February.

4. Looks like a counterinSURGEncy to me.

The Iraqi insurgents have no fear of running out of fighters.

They're motivated.
