The SURGE! The SURGE! It's Working!11!! I'm Series!!1!1!
Hey all you lurkers. Keep shouting the Surge is working!

U.S. officials exclude car bombs in touting drop in Iraq violence

WASHINGTON - U.S. officials who say there has been a dramatic drop in sectarian violence in Iraq since President Bush began sending more American troops into Baghdad aren't counting one of the main killers of Iraqi civilians.

Car bombs...

This would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

4. Hell, Major COMBAT operations are over.
So I don't get where you frickin' evil Commie America Haters say anyone in Iraq has died due to War. All deaths in Iraq should be classifed as accidents. That is AMERICAN deaths.

Shit! We could even save money by not paying off SGLI! Service members are prone to commit accidental deaths, and the government shouldn't be held liable for clumsy, stupid, crazy service members, since you have to be FUCKIN' NUTS to deploy to Iraq for another tour!

It'll be the new Catch-22!!!

Reminds me of the State Dept. terrorism report a year or so ago that showed terrorism on the decline (by excluding everything going on in Iraq)

Gen. David Petraeus, "Iraq is going to have to learn, to live with some degree of sensational attacks."

8. You know how you can tell it's not working? Even Dana Perino isn't saying so.
She equivocates and parses her words...they aren't even trying their usual bullshit dance, she's saying stuff like "We're seeing signs that maybe possibly things could be sort of getting better as a result of the surge."

Obviously that wasn't a real quote, but watch her next time she does a presser. She tap-dances all around it so the reporters don't just drop to ground laughing at her.

Oh, wait...I watched the Moyers special last night. The current crop of media whore-bags might drop to ground and grovel and genuflect, but they'd never actually pursue any tough questions.

9. I would think it would be evident to any thinking person that the 'surge' isn't going too well by
the increasing number of US deaths.

10. WTF does this comment from W mean? I've read it 10 times & still makes no sense
Bush explained why in a television interview on Tuesday. "If the standard of success is no car bombings or suicide bombings, we have just handed those who commit suicide bombings a huge victory," he told TV interviewer Charlie Rose.
