Winning the War

You can tell we're winning the war in Iraq... Just look at the news today... I mean really read it.

"A suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle near an Iraqi police patrol in Shola, a poor district of the capital, killing three people and wounding six, police said."

"In central Baghdad, Thamer Ghaidan, a director general at the industry ministry, was shot dead in a drive-by shooting."

"In the south of the capital, gunmen shot dead Professor Moussa Salum, a deputy dean at Baghdad's Mustansiriya University, along with three bodyguards."

Two Shi'ite officials were also assassinated in the capital. One was a member of the Shi'ite Dawa party, headed by Jaafari, police said. The other, a member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) was killed when gunmen opened fire on a restaurant he ran."

In Tal Afar, a restive town west of the northern city of Mosul, U.S. forces said they shot dead a child when they returned fire after coming under attack. They said the child had been used by militants as a human shield."
