#1 Gee, suppose Sadr's uprising fails, and a bunch of other would be warlords get the idea that maybe they can't beat the US this way. You think maybe there's just a chance the whole insurgency will collapse? Nah, it's already been decreed that this is a quagmire, so it'll never happen.

#2 We need to capture Zarqawi. If we do that and there is visible celebration in Baghdad, big media will be forced to cover it.

Similarly, the arrest of Sadr if combined with visible celebration will force big media to cover it.

If both happen reasonably close together, big media may even be forced to say things are going better.

#3 #2 (mhw) - Don't kid yourself - big media will not cover anything that can be construed as pro-U.S. CNN & NPR so have spent far more time covering the Abu Ghraib abuses of Nov. 8th than anything else.
