Politics – FOXNews reporter Courtney Keely reports from Baghdad that the surge is working. Really, it is. Don't pay attention to the fact that she's in a Baghdad market surrounded by MORE security than John McCain and every Iraqi she speaks to tells her about the death and destruction all around them.
Don't believe her, after all she works for FOX NEWS, the most watched TV cable news channel, right? Well how about Senator Durban? A darling of the left, he also said it looks like the surge is working! So why does the left, continue the drum beat of negativity? Answer: They fear success in Iraq because it will make them look like the ass hole they really are. They have an enormous amount invested in defeat. I suspect they will start yelling foul. These people are pitiful.
"Don't believe her, after all she works for FOX NEWS, the most watched propaganda channel, right?"
There, fixed that for you.
"So why does the left, continue the drum beat of negativity?"
I am so far from the left I can't even see the left, and I think we should get out of there. Everything that we said we would do there has either been done, or it was a lie from the beginning. We have absolutely NO business in Iraq, or any other country. Let them fix their own squabbles amongst themselves.
The Dems that said the war is a bumper sticker, and the war is lost are strangely silent today. So if Turban Durbin cannot complain about the military aspect of the war he will beat the drum of the political front. When that changes what can those Democrats that have staked their whole political strategy oour being defeated possibly win in 08? Then can't.

There are Malls in Chicago that I would not go into without a company of Marines. I know you hate to believe it, but we might win in Iraq. Even the likes of Turban Durbin himself is grudgingly admitting the surge is working. Not where you people can hear him. Funny Democrats speak one language in D C, and another in their home state to their pitiful supporters.
Can you imagine how furious those Dems would be if Iraq is turned around by 2008?
Imagine how furious you will be when you find out Iraq is still in chaos?
Doesn't sound like you'd like this to turn around.
Sounds like you believe Bush's lies...
The surge is working, how about the Iraqi government?
Our troops can do many things but can't make the Iraqi government work together, that's something the Iraqis have to do themselves.
That's the problem. Even with rules of engagement that tie our hands, our boys are still able to beat them. But, like Yugoslavia, Iraq apparently can only be held together by a despot. I hope I am wrong, but if not I pray they get a Tito and not a Stalin.
Well, according to all the reasons for which we originally went to Iraq, we already won several years ago. Somebody tell me again...why are we there now?
As far as the Iraqi government goes, didn't the head of the Iraqi government not long ago say we could leave whenever we wanted? I seem to remember Dubya saying something several years ago that "as the Iraqis stand up, we'll stand down." So when are we going to stand the hell down?
You don't build huge multi-million dollar military installations with the idea of leaving them in a few months.
Very true. My point is that we have been lied to from the start.
The surge is working? How is it working? Iraqis can't even drive cars now. There's no electricity. That reporter was surrounded by marines, and they were all wearing heavy armor. How in hell does that mean the surge is working?
