Doen not mean that it is.
Just because events in Iraq are not covered does not mean it's working.
I have since been watching the claims of the surge to be "Working" in the media and out of Politicians lip's from both Repubs and Democrats.
Is actually not true. Not true whats so ever.
Just today 32 people were were downed.

The trending of American death's has gone down but the number of Iraqi Deaths has gone up. Just because American troops are bunkered in the forts and not patrolling does not mean the surge is working during election season.
So do not think for a minute the surge is working it's only working because American troops are hiding during election season to bolster the Republican claim the surge is working.
Funny fact's of politics.
SO the surge is nothing more than an expensive ploy to the American people. Iraq is still as unstable as it was 6 months ago or even a year ago. Don't be fooled by the Media. Remember who owns the media, and the media will make you believe what it tells you and make you believe what it does not tell you.
In this case. Yes American troop deaths are down. The Iraqi Death count is not, the internal war between Iraqi's is far from over. As of this post the number of Iraqi deaths is 1.2 Million Dead from infighting and imported terrorism.
