Could you ask Ms. Fassihi if any of the political gains that were the actual goal of the "surge" have been made?

Is is an oft overlooked point.

A modest proposal: check the daily temperature in Baghdad. It is listed in the NYT, but you can get it on-line easily enough. Then keep that number in mind whenever you see a photo of one of our soldiers there.

And another soldier was killed. 4,170.
