8. One Part Of That Statement Is True

Overall the violence is down! But, the surge had nothign to do with it. Al Sadr willingly called off his dogs of war. They made a deal with him, and the extra troops are not the reason.

9. I wish Rachel had mentioned that yesterday in RFTWH

She did mention that the objective of the surge was to reach political reconcilliaton, and that has yet to happen.

4. they tell a different story than Lara Logan who is there

seeing it day in and day out, and do not let her report on it.

5. we have no 'honest' reporting from iraq

every shred of news is vetted through the pentagon...we hear what they want us to hear.

6. so who is to say that the number of dead is even accurate.

from our side and the Iraqi civlian side.
