"You'll question any fact from a Western press; but some rantings from an Islamic blogosphere, and you'll accept it as truth with your legs spread wide open"

Oh my God, YOU, the king of the "MSM Liberal Bias" complaining, now suddenly defending the our press? Or is it only (the very few) positive Bush stories that pass your muster?

This story was posted in the top news bar, alongside the "Rove subpoenaed" story. CBS could not have emphasized the story more-- at least, without becoming a GOP spin factory.

Though a seemingly positive indicator of EFP control, a lull of a few months or so is not definitive proof of anything. The importation routes for EFP materials remain hard to interdict, as US commanders emphasize.

Also, note the great majority of IEDs is not sophisticated-- therefore, even harder to control-- even if not as lethal. The IED problem remains in full force.

GOP posters are rubbed raw by the suggestion Bush and his incompetent handling of Iraq might be responsible for American deaths. Unfortunately for our troops, however, this is the undeniable history.

Insurgent caches of artillery shells and other ammo were assured when US units entering Baghdad did not secure the Iraqi ammo dumps for months. Instead, they raced to surround the oil ministry with barbed wire.

Now, those same ammo dump weapons are being used against our troops. Satellite photos from 2003 show trucks of unknown origin backed up to the dumps. Administration weapons inspectors searching for WMDs report the dumps open and substantially plundered.

Maybe the surge is working.
I certainly hope so.

What I find funny, however, is that the same people praising the surge are the same ones who stuck their heads in the sand for the last FOUR YEARS denying that the situation in Iraq was getting worse. Remember; everything was great but the media were lying and only reporting the bad news.

Well, as a simple matter of logic - if the situation wasn't getting worse all that time, then why the need for a surge now? Doesn't this also mean that for the last FOUR YEARS you guys have been wrong.

If you think it's bad now, just wait till that new jack-n-ape takes over fully. First he ran MSNBC into the ground, then it was CNN. CBS will be referred to as the (C)linton (B)roadcasting (S)ervice. Go FOX! :)

The radical leaders of Iran have been caught with their "hand in the cookie jar".

Now they are going to pay a very heavy price for murdering our troops.

[clestes-2009]

Here we go again, blame those Iranians! If anyone thinks the Bush administration has forgotten about invading Iran, guess again. They have been quiet about blaming Iranians for much of anything in the last month, but that line is back again. I'll bet we will see it pretty consistantly again.

Typical liberal response

You'll question any fact from a Western press; but some rantings from an Islamic blogosphere, and you'll accept it as truth with your legs spread wide open.

TYPICAL

[nellhb]

Agreed. The press would rather report gory, sensational events rather than good news where activity in Iraq if concerned. Apparently, there IS good news, but readers aren't getting it.

Also, let's fault press reporting for its use of emotionally charged phrases in headlines. Objectivity never really was possible, just a goal, but it looks like that worthy goal is now out the window. So much for the "free" press providing info necessary to operate a democracy successfully. Sad.

[duffyn]

Reporting what's happening is bias?

I say that's good news in drop of roadside bombs! Yes!!!!

[terrapin78]

Just like the info from Vietnam on commie body counts, NOT TO BE BELIEVED!!

[partyguy51]

theUSA1st, I totally agree.

Look at the homepage here at cbsnews, no us soldiers died today, why is that not the number one story??

because it hurts their agenda or undermining the Bush administration. But the number one story for now is a story about Karl Rove.

Yeah right CBS is sooooooooo bias, it makes me sick

thats why the Evening News is not number 1

[theusa1st]

I quess since we haven't heard otherwise in the lib press or lib tv it must be true. Just another good thing happening in Irag that they won't report.

[bluestardad]

THIS REDUCTION IS ONLY POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE GREAT AND FEARLESS LEADERSHIP OF GEORGE BUSH AND THE DANCING DICKTATERS!

[dredre2k]

I don't believe any "progress reports" that come from the Pentagon or the white house. Nor do I think that any of the recenctly convienently timed "terrorist confessions" are true. This administration is full of lies; may the truth be exposed!

[partyguy51]

Proof the surge is working

why not just give it a chance??

Liberals are just a bunch of quitters. The Liberal way, if you can't do it then quit and let the government pay for your stupidity

The surge is WORKING

leave Bush alone,

we will win!!!

[terrapin78]

Well done, Mr Commander in Chimp and co-conspirators!

"The city is surrounded by checkpoints, the most critical of which are to the south, according to American military commanders who believe most weapons find their way into Baghdad from that direction. "

Bagdad surrounded by checkpoints...?

Richard Perle told me the Iraqis were starved for freedom and would re-name their central avenue " Bush Avenue " in thanks for our courageous act.

Witness the biggest foreign policy blunder, and American domestic tragedy, in our history.

GWB, a stupid man.
