1. Well, I hear there are more American in Iraq than ever before.

I guess that's the standard they're using. (That and the price of oil.)

2. Yes,
it's spin. There's even a link to an article titled, "Baghdad by night -- juice bars, neon lights, bustling streets."

3. Supposedly the NYT's front page today regales its readers with
how swimmingly everything in Iraq is at the moment. Meanwhile, 16 soldiers and countless Iraqis died last week. How they're measuring this success is suspect.

4. Of course. What else would you expect but lies in defense of War Pigs? n/t

5. Things ARE better in Iraq.
Why do you think they can only go in one direction? Simplistic thinking, IMO.

Now that things are better, let's get out.
