If you were to get ALL your news from FOX NEWS, you would believe IRAQ is a tranquil country after "the surge." On Tuesday dozens were killed in a Baghdad restaurant when a suicide bomber blew themselves up. There is something else that is troubling to this blogger about the success of "the surge." How come we NEVER read or heard about any insurgent or Al Queda casualties? The reason should be clear to anyone even if they haven't been in the military. There were no insurgent casualties because there were no BATTLES or FIREFIGHTS.
The Sunni Awakening had run the insurgents and Al Queda out of the various provinces and the U.S. military moved in after all had calmed down, but former President Bush and his propaganda branch FOX NEWS continued to say we "WON" the Iraq War. Bill O'Reilly said the same thing on Tuesday night on the David Letterman Show. O'Reilly said we WON the Iraq War. So if the IRAQ WAR has been won, then why did this happen on Tuesday:

CNN REPORTS: ARMY VET BILLED $3,000 FOR WAR WOUNDS

Story Highlights
Wounded soldier gets billed $3,000 for wounds suffered in Iraq
"I put my life on the line ... and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"
Army Sgt. Erik Roberts was wounded in April 2006; he's had 13 surgeries on his leg
Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio urged the VA to act; VA agrees to pay bill
By Wayne Drash CNN
http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/03/26/wounded.warrior/index.html
(CNN) -- Erik Roberts, an Army sergeant who was wounded in Iraq, underwent his 13th surgery recently to save his right leg from amputation. Imagine his shock when he got a bill for $3,000 for his treatment.
"I just thought it was bull---- that I'm getting billed for being wounded in Iraq doing my job. I always put the mission first, and now that I was wounded in Iraq, they're sending me bills," he said.
"I put my life on the line and I was wounded in combat, and I came back and they're not going to take care of my medical bills?"
It's a level of outrage shared by his mother, as well as the doctor who performed the surgery.
"It's hard to understand why we're not taking care of guys like Erik whose injuries are clearly related to their service. They deserve the best care of anybody," said Dr. William Obremskey, an Air Force veteran and surgeon at Vanderbilt Orthopaedics in Nashville, Tennessee."For him to be responsible for $3,000, I think, is a little ridiculous or is uncalled for, particularly in this situation."
His mother, Robin Roberts, put it more succinctly: "Why should any soldier pay one penny of a medical bill from injuries that occurred while they were fighting in a war? That's what really frustrates me."
The Department of Veterans Affairs has now decided to pay his bill, but only after prodding from a U.S. senator who got involved after CNN brought it to his attention.
Roberts, of Warren, Ohio, is one of more than 31,100 U.S. troops to have been wounded in Iraq. An additional 4,262 have died in the war.
Roberts was wounded April 25, 2006, when roadside bombs tore through his Humvee in western Baghdad. Heat from the flames ignited the Humvee's ammunition, which popped off all around. See Roberts describe getting blown up »
Roberts and his buddies, A.J. Jefferson and Luke Murphy, were badly wounded and bleeding on the ground after jumping from the burning vehicle. They were saved by comrades who rushed to help them.
"The truck automatically filled with smoke. There was fire coming from the middle of the truck. And I just feel my whole right side just like kind of explode," Roberts said. "I thought at that moment that my life was over, so I started praying."
All three soldiers survived the attack, but Murphy lost his leg. Days later, on his 23rd birthday, Roberts returned to the States. He underwent a series of life-saving surgeries, including 12 different ones to repair his fractured right leg. A metal rod was inserted in his upper leg to help the fracture heal.

OBAMA UNVEILS PLANS FOR AFGHANISTAN WAR--NEW YORK TIMES
The long anticipated plans for the war in Afghanistan will be unveiled by the Obama administration on Friday. Below is the first report from the New York Times on what President Obama's plans are for Afghanistan.
Obama to Set Benchmarks in Fight Against Militants
By PETER BAKER and THOM SHANKER
THE NEW YORK TIMES
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/27/washington/27prexy.html?_r=1&h
WASHINGTON — President Obama plans to further bolster American forces in Afghanistan and for the first time set benchmarks for progress in fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban there and in Pakistan, officials said Thursday.
In imposing conditions on the Afghans and Pakistanis, Mr. Obama is replicating a strategy used in Iraq two years ago both to justify a deeper American commitment and prod governments in the region to take more responsibility for quelling the insurgency and building lasting political institutions.
“The era of the blank check is over,” Mr. Obama told Congressional leaders at the White House, according to an account of the meeting provided on the condition of anonymity because it was a private session.
The new strategy, which Mr. Obama will formally announce Friday, will send 4,000 more troops to train Afghan security forces on top of the 17,000 extra combat troops that he already ordered to Afghanistan shortly after taking office, administration and Congressional officials said. But for now, Mr. Obama has decided not to send additional combat forces, they said, although military commanders at one point had requested a total of 30,000 more American troops.
Although the administration is still developing the specific benchmarks for Afghanistan and Pakistan, officials said they would be the most explicit demands ever presented to the governments in Kabul and Islamabad. In effect, Mr. Obama would be insisting that two fractured countries plagued by ancient tribal rivalries and modern geopolitical hostility find ways to work together and transform their societies.
American officials have repeatedly said that Afghanistan has to make more progress in fighting corruption, curbing the drug trade and sharing power with the regions, while they have insisted that Pakistan do more to cut ties between parts of its government and the Taliban. Mr. Obama telephoned President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan and President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan on Thursday to share the main elements of the strategic review.

"THE SURGE" WAS MORE A "MIRAGE" THAN A MILITARY SUCCESS IN BAGHDAD, UCLA STUDY FINDS
UCLA study of satellite imagery casts doubt on surge's success in Baghdad
By
Meg Sullivan
9/18/2008 9:01:00 PM
http://tinyurl.com/d3q6u8
By tracking the amount of light emitted by Baghdad neighborhoods at night, a team of UCLA geographers has uncovered fresh evidence that last year's U.S. troop surge in Iraq may not have been as effective at improving security as some U.S. officials have maintained.
Night light in neighborhoods populated primarily by embattled Sunni residents declined dramatically just before the February 2007 surge and never returned, suggesting that ethnic cleansing by rival Shiites may have been largely responsible for the decrease in violence for which the U.S. military has claimed credit, the team reports in a new study based on publicly available satellite imagery.
"Essentially, our interpretation is that violence has declined in Baghdad because of intercommunal violence that reached a climax as the surge was beginning," said lead author John Agnew, a UCLA professor of geography and authority on ethnic conflict. "By the launch of the surge, many of the targets of conflict had either been killed or fled the country, and they turned off the lights when they left."
The team reports its findings in the October issue of "Environment and Planning A," a leading peer-reviewed academic journal that specializes in urban and environmental planning issues.
The night-light signature in four other large Iraqi cities — Kirkuk, Mosul, Tikrit and Karbala — held steady or increased between the spring of 2006 and the winter of 2007, the UCLA team found. None of these cities were targets of the surge.
