Atrios presents an extremely informative graphic of the daily casualties of coalition forces, civilians and Iraqi security forces between June 2004 and August 2007.
Go look at it and ask yourself - if you were an Iraqi civilian would you want the U.S. to continue the occupation of Iraq, let alone the surge? Note the trends as the surge effectively began in February and continued to build up.
Remember, these are Department of Defense statistics.
Think we are likely to win the hearts and minds of the civilians? They are the ones in Green.
