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:
