and I asked you again to explain how American casualties were supposedly decreased by 60% because of the success of the poll?
Would you agree that your previous statement on that issue was premature?
For example.... if yesterday five US soldiers were killed in Baghdad, and today only two.... it is premature to say that casualties are down by 60% due to the success of the surge, and then spend weeks tap dancing away from that statement when tomorrow eight soldiers die.
And again, I ask you....if there were a problem with gang violence in Los Angeles, and we put 28 thousand more policemen on the street, do you think that the violence might go away? I would. Do you think that the presence of those 28K policemen will magically make the enmity between those gangs disappear so that, one month or on year or one decade later, when the police leave, the gangs will not want to pick back up where they left off?
