Lets see:
We have uncovered several car bomb shops in Iraq and destroyed them.
Petraeus told the Australian that there had been a 75 percent reduction in religious and ethnic killing since last year, while the number of al Qaeda "kills and captures" was on the rise.
What tactics are working? "We got down at the people level and are staying," he said flatly. "Once the people know we are going to be around, then all kinds of things start to happen."
Patreus also gave a couple of examples:
More intelligence, for example. Where once tactical units were "scraping" for intelligence information, they now have "information overload," the general said. "After our guys are in the neighborhood for four or five days, the people realize they're not going to just leave them like we did in the past. Then they begin to come in with so much information on the enemy that we can't process it fast enough."
And of course US deaths are drastically down.
I guess some people dont want to hear any good news out of Iraq for that we go against their desire to see us lose.
We have not won, yet, and need to finish the job.
US deaths are not drastically down! What planet do you live on? Even if they were “down”, this stupid war of ego is not worth the 3700 already dead Americans (not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis)
The goal of the great and glorious surge wasn't to have some very small tactical successes on the battlefield; it was to stabilize Iraq and its government. And that has been a total failure (as was largely predicted).
I guess some people, most of whom wouldn't dare put their own life on the line, just don't want to hear any bad news (and make up good news) because it would highlight the horrible and costly failure they have supported for so long.
