A surge of phony spin on Iraq
Bush's backers are peddling a sunny view of the president's strategy -- despite Iraq's political chaos and soaring death counts.
By Juan Cole [2007-08-07]

  • Ask The Iraqis

    Someone should poll the Iraqi citizens to get their assessment of "progress" in Iraq.

    Of course 30,000 more troops in Baghdad will help reduce the violence but that is TEMPORARY.

    The Bushies don't want that to be known, of course, so they are spinning this in a way to make us think that real progress is being made.

    Ask the Iraqis if progress is being made.
