Reply #5: Two words - 'Tet Offensive'.

[FreepFryer]

Just like http://rossdouthat.theatlantic.com/archives/2007/05/peace_with_honor_ii.php">back then, a coordinated, 'nation'-wide military offensive by the enemies of the U.S. in iraq could spell the end of everyday Americans' willingness to swallow the 'Surge' propaganda campaign, and the start of our national willingness to face our ongoing failure (and Haliburton et. al.'s windfall) in Iraq.

Hopefully the news will get better (both in content and in objectivity), civil order will return to Iraq, and the war will end. I hope.
