Despite having having plane under fire, Senators still believe "Surge" working in parts of Iraq

Despite the scare, Shelby, Martinez and Cramer said they believed the recent increase in troop levels has helped stabilize parts of the country.

"It was kind of dicey," Shelby said. "But it just shows you what our troops go through every day."

1. I've Decided What They Mean Is: It's Working for Them
because it sure isn't working for any other US citizen, Iraqi, or other inhabitant of the world.

2. From PERSONAL experience while flying in a UH-1H or C-130
and being shot at, you will say anything, promise anything, to keep that brown spot in your shorts from getting any larger, now,, they can say whatever they want to but some of us know the truth.

3. In desperation, the insurgents are killing more and more of our troops...
Getting better arms and (according to Bushco) growing in number in Iraq.

Obviously, our total control of Iraq is just around the corner. We just need to be patient and allow our troops to do the job. When we run out of troops, we'll either quadruple the size of the mercenary forces at 100x the cost of running the army or institute a draft and double the population of Canada.

All WE need to know is that it's working.
