You'd have to ask the families of the dead Iraqi innocents what they call it. Somewhere between 70,000 and 650,000, depending on what you read.

S2S,
That's what I've heard. My guess is that besides the 2 million that have fled their country, the innocent people of Baghdad aren't really getting much protection. At least 40% of the neighborhoods have been secured.
So, I guess that the "surge" has been 40% successful.
Finally, we're getting back around to the discussion of Cheney! Any thoughts on his statements that contributed to the US invasion? Or the no-bid Halliburton contract? i'm thinking that "karma" is catching up to Big Dick for all the wonderful things he's done.

you know, that's a lot of room between those two numbers...

i find it kind of funny tho (not in a ha ha sort of way funny) that we go in and trash the place, and now so many just want us to go hey, get your act together so we can go.

i didn't know that we were quitters when times got tough, that's for sure.

oh, it's hard, we need to leave.

that said by many of the same who think we should 'DO SOMETHING' about darfur. til that got hard....
