Bunk. The strategy IS working - we are systematically depriving Al Qaeda of strongholds, safehouses and arms depots. The MSM just refuses to recognize the terror structure won't be vanquished overnight - Rome was not built in a day. As it is the enemy can blow up civilians but he cannot gain territory or strategic assets. And God willing, we will soon have him on the run.

Before the latest round of bombings, one senior officer at the United States Central Command conceded that Mr. Zarqawi's organization remained "a very robust network"

Yeah, right. So robust that they can't do a thing to stop anything either the Coalition or Iraqi Army do. They were annihilated at Tal Afar. All they can do "militarily" anymore is blow up Shia day-laborers.

The Times must have gone through dozens of officers before they found one to give them their headline.

I hate these ****ing traitors.

They're getting better at their headlines. I was expecting, Is the U.S. losing the war?

The Old Grey Whore seems upset that these bombings are taking place in Baghdad instead of New Yawk. I guess they'll feel cheated.

Operation in Tal Afar and Qaim does not kill terrorists in Baghdad nor in any other place. The raids in Tal Afar and Qaim only targets terrorists in Qaim and Tal Afar, nothing less and nothing more. I am not optimistic about the sharp drop of attacks with terrorists are decreasing in chunks while thinking it is the logistical problems of terrorists causing the sharp decrease of attacks, but the offensive in Tal Afar and Qaim should have decreased some of the terrorists. New York Times failed to get the news from the government of Iraq for a drop of attacks down to 55% in recent weeks.

The NY Times has become a parody of itself. "Raises new questions..." LOL, the NY Times tries to act as if it's hasn't raised every objection, every possible negative issue imaginable to thwart to efforts of the U.S. military on our behalf. Zarkowi isn't dead, he's just too busy behind the scenes writing new stories for the N.Y. Times to publish in their quest for "objectivity and enlightenment".

No wonder the NY Times is trying to sell subscriptions on a national level. There couldn't possibly be enough brain-dead idiots living in one city to support such a filthy rag.

What a phoney article this is. Unfortunately, I guarantee that the Washington Post, the LA Times, CNN, and name your own will pick up exactly this line. Simply because it appears in the New York Times. The news media is incapable of thinking for itself.

Some independent critics say that the unabated violence suggests the military has been focusing too much on hunting down and killing insurgents and not enough on providing security in population centers like Baghdad

Restated: Critics wonder if hiding in bunkers would be more effective than catching and killing the terrorists. Mmmmm... sounds like a plan.. gees..

Other plans put forward by critics to "Win"

There's nothing wrong with the US strategy. The Bush administration just did not anticipate that the American MSM would side with the enemy.

Stop telling the we're coming...
The tactics of the current military command are undermining our effectiveness in defeating these thugs.
Stop telling them what we are going to do, and JUST DO IT.

NYT- The German advance in the Battle of the Bulge calls into question if we are winning WWII and if we should shift to defensive trench warfare which successfully won WWI.

And it is FDR's fault.

Intellectually bankrupt article. How could they be raised anew? The NY Times and its ilk hasn't stopped from the very beginning.
