Bush selling point for his 'surge': Iraqi forces getting killed at a faster rate than our own troops
Bush today in his weekly radio address: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/08/20070811.html

"The surge that General Petraeus and our troops are carrying out is designed to help provide security for the Iraqi people, especially in Baghdad."

"They are taking losses at a much higher rate than we are. And they're making these sacrifices willingly, because they are determined to see their children live in freedom."
