The rate of coalition deaths has increased since the surge, as I stated and supported above, and there is absolutely no evidence that Iraqi civilian death rates have dropped off. In fact, they are not only holding steady but are increasing. Displacement of Iraqi civilians is the highest in history, let alone the past few years. How would you measure success?
