Today the great General Petreus told us that (surprise) the surge is working. But it isn’t working so well we can leave, it is working just well enough that we have to stay for the indefinite future.

Hooray for democracy! As yglesias notes, however, its hard to call it a success if 60% of Iraqis support attacks on Americans. That’s right, its not that they want us to leave or think the surge was a bad idea. They support the idea of killing American service people. Clearly, we are making progress with those hearts and minds.

Oh and better still, 70 percent of Iraqis think the surge has made their lives worse. Oh well, at least the great General thinks this has been a huge success.
