| New MSM Narrative - "Can It Hold?" |
| 2008-03-16 |
| Referring to the success over in Iraq, naturally. Five years after the Iraq war began, and one year into the US troop 'surge', bombings and attacks in Baghdad and across the country have plummeted, and a relative calm has settled in. But, as pressure to speed troop withdrawals grows, the question on the ground is: can it hold? Ever the optimists! Rest at link. |

| #4 Doesn't matter. If it holds - we withdraw troops. If it doesn't hold - we withdraw troops (genocide, schmenocide!) |

| #3 an ironic title could be referring to whether MSM narrative of 'the surge really isn't working that well' will hold |

| #2 Sounds like an admission we've (almost) won. Why would you want to hold something if you didn't like it? |
