Is The Surge Working?

Despite the Left's excitement reporting 2007 as the deadliest year in Iraq, it does appear that the surge is starting to work.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The number of U.S. military and Iraqi civilian deaths has dropped dramatically, according to recent reports, although American military officials said it is too soon to declare a turning point in the conflict.

Thirty-seven Americans have died in October, the lowest monthly figure since March 2006 when 31 perished, according to the U.S. military.

It may be too soon to say it's working but it is worth acknowledging that significant progress is being made.
