Now al-Qaeda has a “surge.”
“U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker acknowledged Tuesday that there ‘is something of an al-Qaida surge going on’ in Iraq, with the group using suicide car bombs as its principal weapons, but he said that doesn’t mean the U.S.-Iraqi campaign isn’t working.”

sure doesn’t mean it is working either……………
May 1st, 2007 at 5:12 pmWait, I thought we weren’t counting car bombs as ‘real’… so the al-qaeda surge can’t be reall either….
May 1st, 2007 at 5:22 pmHell, I’m not over there right now, but that’s how battles happen. WE amass forces, then THEY amass forces to equalize…….The only thing “working” over there is the medical corp, and the are “working” overtime!
May 1st, 2007 at 5:34 pmIt’s working because there’s less violence….and working because there’s more violence. Therefore, it’s always working. Always.
See how easy it is to talk like a Republican?
May 1st, 2007 at 5:36 pmWe’ll get 3500 dead troops before we know it!
Heckuva job, Chimpy!
May 1st, 2007 at 5:40 pmAll God’s children got a surge.
May 1st, 2007 at 5:41 pmSurge? Bush called for a “surge” months ago. He was just on the wrong side!!
May 1st, 2007 at 7:12 pmDo any of you actually know what is going on over there. There is more to this war then the tolling of american casualities. Take a moment to see what is actually happening on the ground. And ask yourself if al-Qaeda is actually over there killing innocent people then isn’t the struggle worth it. If Al-Qaeda was blowing up my town i would hope an ally would help us defeat them.

No, that is the side Bush is on. Al Qaeda was created by the CIA under Daddy Bush.
May 1st, 2007 at 8:33 pmThat’s how small AQ really is, they have to struggle to get on the news. Yet they planned and pulled of 9/11 from a cave defeating the greatest defence system in the world.
May 2nd, 2007 at 7:19 amWe just need a bigger surge!!! Then they’ll provide a bigger surge, and so on ad nauseam. Eventually one side or the other will surely be wiped out? Which is the goal of course… I think?
