Call me crazy, but when the NeoCon's tell you something that's false, over and over for 5 years, and then they claim the surge is working, there's a reasonable chance its not true. Or, at least they'll have to provide tons of credible documentation and corroborated evidence. Their "word" doesn't cut it anymore.


U.S. officials say the number of civilian casualties in the Iraqi capital is down 50 percent. But U.S. officials declined to provide specific numbers, and statistics gathered by McClatchy Newspapers don't support the claim.

The number of car bombings in July actually was 5 percent higher than the number recorded last December, according to the McClatchy statistics, and the number of civilians killed in explosions is about the same.

Opps. Those frigging McClatchies over at McClatchy. They are always pooping in the punch bowl and i for one am sick of it! They were the same ones whining that, wait a minute, that Powell demonstration doesn't hold up. Why don't they just be quiet?
 
LOL

McClatchy papers were the only ones who actually got it right, in the lead up to the war. The actually did real journalism.

Did you see that Frontline special on the media and the iraq war?

Hospital officials in northwestern Iraq have told TIME that the death toll from Tuesday's blasts in Qahataniya may exceed 300, making the multiple suicide bombings the deadliest terrorist operation in the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein. One hospital is saying that there are at least 500 bodies and that 375 people are injured. That report, however, cannot yet be verified. The only previous occasion when the toll from concerted attacks has exceeded 200 was last November, when six car-bombs in Baghdad's Sadr City killed 215 people. If the toll in the Qataniya incident grows, it could become the worst terrorist incident since al-Qaeda's September 11, 2001 attack on the U.S. (The Beslan massacre in Russia in September 2004 came to approximately 330, about half of the total children).
