NYTIMES IRAQ REPORTER: SURGE WILL WORK; US TROOPS INVALUABLE


NEWSBUSTERS:
Another Times reporter has gone onto PBS's Charlie Rose show and suggested that putting more U.S. troops in Iraq may have a "good effect."

Let's just hope she doesn't get into trouble like Michael Gordon did on the Rose show in January for saying that Bush's "surge" was worth trying.

Furthermore, Sabrina Tavernise says an immediate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq would be an "unmitigated disaster." Charlie Rose: "Is there a sense that the surge will work or not work? Or that whatever happens will simply be temporary?"

Tavernise: "When you say work -- I think that the surge could definitely have an effect, a good effect, in the neighborhoods for bringing violence down. I think it could. I mean, I studied a number of different neighborhoods where the mere presence of American troops actually did bring down the murder rate. In one particular example, by about a third, which is significant, you know, significant. It's a lot of bodies that aren't turning up in sewers every morning. So that's not small.

"At the same time, I don't think that more American troops on the ground in Iraq is going to stop, you know, what is essentially kind of an historical process that has begun. I don't think that, you know, people are all of a sudden going to embrace each other and say, now we're brothers. It's just, you know, it's gone so far. And people, over the course of two years, essentially, having from saying, we are all brothers, how dare you even bring up the sect of my child and my wife, to we don't trust those people, they're Sunni. The Sunnis are responsible for all of these bombings. I mean, it's changed so much.

"That, I don't think, is something you can, you know, really have much effect on with setting up a roadblock or doing a sweep or -- you know, that –- that's going to be –- that's going to have to burn itself out. It really will.

"I think that American soldiers have a very important function in Iraq right now. I think that -- that if everyone left immediately, it would be an unmitigated disaster. Now, you know, there is some semblance of normal life that goes on."

MEANWHILE, THE LEFTIE DOVES WHO CONTROL THE DEMOCRAT PARTY ARE DOING WHATEVER THEY CAN TO UNDERCUT THE EFFORT - WHICH ONLY HELPS THE ENEMY.

THEY ARE TRAITOROUS SCUM - MORE MOTIVATED BY UNPRINCIPLED BUSH HATRED THAN THE UNIVERSAL VALUES ONCE ESPOUSED BY FDR AND JFK: THE IDEA THAT ALL HUMANS DESERVE TO BE FREE AND THAT THE USA HAS A DUTY TO HELP MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

Well said Reliapundit!!

John Samhain:
Several of us have urged you to seek help and I for one am not joking. I don't know where or how you've been indoctrinated but you are out of touch with reality and thats the textbook definition of Schizophrenia.

we opposed bush's medicare expansion - and we argue here at TAB that Bush is a liberal and a weak hawk.

we oppose his immigration plans too.

he's just the best we got.

cheney would probably be a better prez.

you ought to really read the blog before spouting off your insane/idiotic/knee-jerk/thoughtless stupid moronic jew-hatred BS.

now fuck off and see a doctor.

there must be one in springfield, no? csk someone at the library.

or - if you prefer - we can contact the library and the local police --- to get you the help you need...

I feel like taking a shower after reading the delusional spewings of John Samhain.

Can't you bar him? His posts add nothing to the sum of human wisdom. To say the least.
