You'd think that General Petraeus' civilian casualties data and the Defense Department's civilian casualties data would at least show the same trend lines. You'd be wrong.

Jeffrey Davis,
This might cheer you up a little (assuming you actually want some good news mixed in with the usual bad): Anbar Awakens Part II: Hell is Over", by Michael Totten, September 18, 2007.
"(H)earts and minds...." Michael Totten said 'hearts and minds'....now there's a nostagic trip for you. Gosh, the evil AQI became the Taliban (which all Sunnis deplore, yes?) to EVERYONES SURPRISE. And now the US Marines are their saviors. Suddenly everyone loves us in Ramadi.
Unfortunately in the real world none of this matters. A reminder: In the TET of '68 the VietCong committed the most thoroughly horrible atrocities. Thousands and thousands of teachers and policemen and doctors lined up and murdered. Mass graves.
Guess who won that war.
No one needs to argue that our enemies are good guys in order to oppose this war. One only needs to argue that the Administration picked the wrong fight and hasn't fought it worth a shit.

Heads in the Sand
Pure comic gold. And by that I mean "soul destroying despair".
