Pentagon says new Iraq fighting arises from surge's success
9 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The Pentagon on Wednesday said an eruption of violence in southern Iraq, where US-backed government forces were battling Shiite militias, was a "by-product of the success of the surge."

Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said it showed that the Iraqi government and security forces were now confident enough to take the initiative against Shiite extremists in the southern port of Basra.

We've been told so many preposterous lies about Iraq, it's hard to figure which one is the worst.
