Despite the liberal media not really reporting it, and Democrats cheering on the enemy, more and more of the American people see that Bush's new strategy is working. See, most Americans want the USA to succeed. It seems to only be the far left and leading Dems that are excited to go on TV and say we have lost.

You have a 9% shift that brings the total to 31%. I have a hunch that the administration won't break out the champagne. When less than 1/3 of the country has faith in your policy, you have a major PR and political disaster on your hands.
Overall, the status quo remains- Gen. Patreaus' report to Congress will be the make or break point.
Yes, it is still low, but getting better. If the reporting was fair it would be closer to 50 percent.
And Patreaus' report will not matter if he gives a positive report, Dem's will simply say he is a Bush hack
US troop deaths y/y
July 2003: 48
July 2004: 54
July 2005: 54
July 2006: 43
July 2007: 80
Wait, let me guess: it's just a few "dead enders" right? We are "turning the corner" this time.
umm.. well.. he is. The republicans cant decide if "solving" or "fixing" Iraq is about the military or the government.
Sometimes things are broken and you cant fix them. Just think about who has won this battle for "hearts and minds". After all these years, money and lives the current winner is Iran.
To borrow your logic.. This is just another example of republicans denying the holocaust.
I think more people were shot in Washington DC in July
So, dead troops are not significant to you?
So, what is an acceptable number for you?
29
3
1
Of course, you don't like the military and don't believe they have a function, so your number is zero, which is flat out stupid.
How many died in WWI?
WWII?
Civil War?
guess we shouldn't have fought those either. What simple logic.
"Wait, let me guess: it's just a few "dead enders" right?"
What the fuck is THAT supposed to mean?
"Sometimes things are broken and you cant fix them. Just think about who has won this battle for "hearts and minds". After all these years, money and lives the current winner is Iran."
I totally disagree and feel that it is a bit premature to give Iran the blue freakin' ribbon here. Regarding hearts and minds, recent reports are showing that even some Al-Queda people are losing heart with the "martyrs" and their tactics. There have been other reports for quite some time, including interviews conducted by Michelle Malkin that show a decided preference for our troops over the scumbags our troops are fighting. This idea that we aren't having any progress with relations with the Iraqi people is another symptom of one-sided reporting by the MSM. In this, I am in total agreement with the Game when he stated that better and balanced reporting would result in better American support for the war effort. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that there is no question of the truth of this. The exact number is debatable, but that it would be far above current polling numbers is without question.
"This idea that we aren't having any progress with relations with the Iraqi people is another symptom of one-sided reporting by the MSM."
This idea that there could BE any progress when we are raping, killing, and depriving the Iraqi people of basic sanitation and electrical services for years on end is another symptom of one-sided thinking by you, and fanatical pro-Zionist neocons like yourself.
If the reporting was fair?! The question was whether or not the respondent believed the policy was improving the situation. The article simply presented the results.
What's your gripe- no Sean Hannity spin?
"Civil War?"
Oh.. yes.. lets dig that one up. Here's a hint.. It was NOT about slavery.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but the number 80 is nearly twice that of 43. Worse, the Iraqi govt. is falling to bits. Even worse, Iraq is not only an environmental disaster but a humanitarian one as well. And you want to talk about some poll? By Americans? Please.
MA, you may not want to give Iran the blue ribbon.. but they have taken it. Look at the Iraq govt. Or whats left of it.
"interviews conducted by Michelle Malkin"
lol.. thats funny.. she does interviews? ha. And I was worried you would have some kind of fact. Rather you give us propaganda.
"one-sided reporting by the MSM"
my god.. yes.. the conservative media cant even spin their way out of this one.
"total agreement with the Game"
shocking.. For your next trick are you going to side with whatever comes out of Limbaugh's mouth?
I think more people were shot in Washington DC in July
What a stupid comment.
First of all, the number I gave was the number of soldiers KILLED not shot
Second, comparing the number of total people shot in DC with the number of US SOLDIERS killed in Iraq is a little dishonest, isn't it? Don't the Iraqis that were killed matter? Why don't you go ahead and compare the number of killings per person in Iraq vs any city in the U.S.?
What the fuck is THAT supposed to mean? I know you guys aren't too good at remembering your leaders' propaganda, so here you go:
"In those regions where pockets of dead-enders are trying to reconstitute, Gen. (Tommy) Franks and his team are rooting them out," Rumsfeld said, referring to the U.S. commander in Iraq. "In short, the coalition is making good progress."
http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-06-18-rumsfeld_x.htm
Fine realism. But you listed US dead and then mentioned "dead-enders". What's a body to think? Be clear. Of course if you wanna rip me a new one for not remembering evey utterance, go ahead.
Parklife,
You'll need something a bit more substantive than your beliefs about Iran. And yes, Malkin interviewed Iraqis on her trip there this past year, as has Ingraham and others who decided to venture outside the Green Zone. That you refuse to accept this is just fine with me, though it does little for your credibility to dismiss such out of hand without so much as a look-see. Go to HotAir.com and scan the archives.
Also, you can continue to deny the one-sided reporting of the general media. We continue to see erroneous reports by such stalwarts as Reuters, The New Republic and others and the constant highlighting of every piece of negativity without anything positive EVER, and you wanna continuing pretending that the right looks to spin the news from there. Shows the level of YOUR honesty. Frankly, I thought better of you.
You know, the right's always accused of kissing Bush's ass, but you guys on the left have little room to talk.
And Hash. I know you've finally explained your moniker, but it would have been better for you if it was a drug reference. At least then you'd have an excuse.
Andy,
Quite simply, the comment referred to the likelihood that the numbers would be better if the reporting was more accurate and unbaised. We aren't looking for anyone to spin the news, either left or right, just that we get it accurately. Is that a problem for you?
"This idea that there could BE any progress when we are raping, killing, and depriving the Iraqi people of basic sanitation and electrical services for years on end is another symptom of one-sided thinking by you, and fanatical pro-Zionist neocons like yourself."
Man, I didn't think anyone could hate American troops as much as Durbin or Murtha or Kerry, but Hash takes the prize.
Again, I'm not going to comment on all this flat out super crazy talk.
"You'll need something a bit more substantive than your beliefs about Iran."
How about a picture. No? I'm sure you're still not convinced.
Wow. With each posting I lose more and more respect for Parklife. One meeting means the Iranians are in like Flynt with the entirety of the Iraqi population. Right. I get it now. Sorry. I need a bit more than a political photo op of a superficial first meeting. Nice try, though.
Yeah.. political affilations mean nothing. What was I thinking? Al-Maliki spending his "death sentence" years in Iran and Syria must mean nothing. Do you believe everything out of the WH? Really, you should have heard Bush in his press conference when a reporter asked about the Iraq-Iran visit.
Keep digging that hole you put your head in everyday.
