The point was that civilians are still dying from violence, it's only since the "surge' have the numbers of dead people declined.
And that's after some of the deadliest months since we started the occupation, over four years ago.
And the million dollar questions..
How long do we continue this surge & what happens after it??
Success you say?
Where, in what form?
The Iraqi military, nope.
The Iraqi police, nope.
The Iraqi guvmint, nope.
Oil, NOPE.

And Highway, just for laughs, list some of the accomplishments in Iraq..

It just shows that public opinion shifted after the constant bias reporting from the MSM. You may also want to review the link in my sig line.

No, that graph goes to show Americans slowly realized that Dumbya went into Iraq with no real plan of winning and/or exiting.
And of course, what does the right do, blame it on that tricky "librul media".
Bottom line, Amercians have lost faith in the Adminstration.
Dumbya should have taken Cheneys advice from back in the Bush I days..

from Dick:
"I would guess if we had gone in there, I would still have forces in Baghdad today. We'd be running the country. We would not have been able to get everybody out and bring everybody home.

And the final point that I think needs to be made is this question of casualties. I don't think you could have done all of that without significant additional U.S. casualties, and while everybody was tremendously impressed with the low cost of the (1991) conflict, for the 146 Americans who were killed in action and for their families, it wasn't a cheap war.

And the question in my mind is, how many additional American casualties is Saddam (Hussein) worth? And the answer is, not that damned many. So, I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the President made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

Uh, oh..
Here comes the scare tactics.
Gun rights?
There have been dems in power before, and I STILL have my guns.
Hey while you're at it, don't forget the gays & abortions..
Oooooooooooo........scary.

Sounds good.
Don't drink the water..


Dumbya approval rating..
