Iraq War "success" and The Surge
[Old Hickory's Weblog] Now the Woodward book reports a series of top secret special operations, launched in May 2006, to "locate, target, and kill key individuals in extremist groups," a campaign that may have been the greatest factor in reducing the violence in Iraq. President Bush told Woodward that the secret program was "awesome." Derek Harvey, the top intelligence adviser to Petraeus on the secret operations, told Woodward that the "lightning quick" assaults gave him "orgasms.".

The Afghanistan War and "The Surge" in Iraq
[The Blue Voice] The Iraq war has been replaced by the declining economy as the most important issue in America's presidential election campaign, in part because Americans have come to believe that the tide has turned in Iraq: the troop "surge" has supposedly cowed the insurgents, bringing a decline in violence. The implications are clear: a show of power wins the day.

Remember when”¦ Iraq attacked Iran, sparking the Iran-Iraq War
[Midpress (Middle East News)] The Reagan administration further increased its involvement by declaring on April 29th that it would protect non-Kuwaiti ships in the Persian Gulf as well, which in effect amounted to a further tilt in favor of Iraq since the new US policy allowed Saddam Hussein to continue Iraq’s attacks on tankers without fear of concomitant attacks on vessels supporting Iraq’s allies. This onlyreinforced Iran’s belief that the United States was now a belligerent in the Iran - Iraq War.

A Keane eye on Iraq war
[PrairiePundit] "Despite the fact that President Bush did preside over a strategy that was failing for three plus years, and he has been criticized for that," says Gen. Keane, "he also deserves a significant amount of credit because all around him people were advocating a failed strategy, particularly key leaders around him, and he had the wherewithal to make a tough decision that flew certainly in the face of political opposition even in his own party."
