Lies,Lies and more lies.Everyday we are being told the surge is working. Yet hundreds of Iraqis and dozens of American soldiers are still being killed. The Bush spin machine are still trying to decieve us. I hope the congress and senate stick to their morals and end this fisasco. Support the troops by bring them home from this civil war.
