to be on the look out for the msm media to begin using the white house spin that the surge was working. Well, it seems the white house is going on a pr blitz with help from its conservative allies to build public support not only to convince the surge is working but to do one more thing and that is to, BUILD PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR A LONG TERM OCCUPATION OF IRAQ! What is amazing, well no its not because this same msm bought the spill for going into iraq in 02 or now buying into this pr campaign the surge is working. this began about 2 weeks ago. When the troops deaths were reported at 74 and all the msm were reporting the deaths in iraq are lower then the previous month and for the next two days the troops deaths were not reported and we ended up with a total of 81 for July....What I believe is going on is a push by the white house to give just enough to convince the none nuts democrats and repugs and the public that just enough has been made with the surge to justify us staying....Hell, even the top general has said the u s will be there 9 to 10 years, "if we want to win"...DAMN! When did winning become a part of this attack? So, I suggest whenever you get a chance to write, call your congress folk and tell them not to buy into this pr campaign because we are not winning jack in iraq or as rep jane schakowsky said on her recent return from iraq this week, " I BELIEVE OVERALL THE SURGE IS A FAILURE.WHY'S THAT? BECAUSE THE PURPOSE WAS TO REDUCE VIOLENCE TO CREATE A SAFER ENVIROMENT, TO CREATE A SPACE FOR POLITICAL RECONCILATION. AND IRAQ IS FAR FROM THAT AS IT'S EVER BEEN....IT'S CLEAR TO ME WE CANNOT WIN SOMEONE ELSE'S RELIGIOUS CIVIL WAR". ps: And what other way to show the decrease in troop deaths? Have the military ot report them in a timely manner.... I do thank you Ben David
