The US can't lose in Iraq anymore. Miraculous. The US has now produced a propaganda formula--carefully adhered to be the cheering US media--according to which the US can't lose in Iraq no matter what develops. If the attacks by insurgents go up, the US now claims that it signals their desperation and the evidence that the US is winning. If the attacks decline over a few days, the US claims that this also is a sure sign that the US is winning in Iraq. The US media follow the script faithfully. OK, now: brush your teeth and go to sleep, ye US media. NOW.
