SUMMARY: On Tucker, U.S. News & World Report Editor-in-Chief Mortimer B. Zuckerman asserted: "[T]he fact is that, by far, the consensus is that the surge [in Iraq] is working." Zuckerman did not offer any evidence to support this claim. In fact, members of Congress, administration officials, and experts have all stated that political reconciliation, which the Bush administration identified as a key to the success of its escalation strategy, has not occurred.
