COMMENTS: Surge Ends Soon
Yesterday, Jonathan Karl covered the Pentagon's talking points on the diminished violence in Iraq for ABC. Now President George Bush is publicizing the same downward trend since its peak in June. CBS' Jim Axelrod quoted the Commander in Chief hail the reduction in attacks by roadside bombs "since the surge of operations began in June" without noting that the so-called surge began in January. Axelrod concluded with a similar foreboding to Karl's: "The President uses the words 'progress' and 'success' but next month the United States begins to draw down the troops that made this reduction in violence possible." So Axelrod hears no one at the White House utter Mission Accomplished.
