IMO it seems that the important thing is that the US (and secondarily foreign) populations understand that the situation in Iraq remains in the US' favor. If public opinion is allowed to change sides (or further change sides) as a result of a renewed offensive (no matter what the reality of the situation is), the war WILL become a quagmire, at least politically. This is the kind of situation which makes me, at least, wish that the government had the kind of control over the media that the tin-foil crew says they do. I think that the public all too readily allows the media to interpret reality for them in lieu of interpreting situations themselves.
