Barack Obama "was asked about, is the surge [in Iraq] working, he couldn't even acknowledge, hey, look, the death numbers are down," adding that Obama "dismiss[ed] it altogether." In fact, Obama did not refuse to acknowledge that U.S. deaths in Iraq "have been declining steadily since the spring"; he said that it is "absolutely wrong" to conclude from a decline in violence in Iraq that President Bush's strategy is working. http://mediamatters.org/items/200711160004 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 13:40:03 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200709100008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200709100008 Mon, 10 Sep 2007 18:59:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200606300009 A <em>Media Matters</em> analysis of the media coverage of the Iraq war debate shows that the favored Republican talking points on Iraq have gone largely unchallenged in the media and have even been adopted as truths by some media outlets and figures. http://mediamatters.org/items/200606300009 Fri, 30 Jun 2006 17:31:32 EST
