THE SURGE!" But the articles that Cline cited for support show that she attributed the progress in Iraq's Al Anbar province to U.S. agreements with local tribal leaders that began in September 2006. http://mediamatters.org/items/200708310004 Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:41:19 EST The Times of Shreveport, LA, drops Coulter http://mediamatters.org/items/200703080007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703080007 Thu, 8 Mar 2007 14:55:59 EST The Politico concedes errors identified by Media Matters senior researcher http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703070004 Wed, 7 Mar 2007 12:42:55 EST ABC, Wash.
