Indeed their plan is working.
Army Spc. Christopher Heldt, 24, like Hanoi John this youngster knows so much more than the generals. (/sarcasm)
Hey! With all due respect I'll have you know that 'Da Mare', Richie Daley is PROUD of that fact. Not any city can be 'MURDER CAPITAL', USA.

/sarcasm off And no, there's no such sign there, I just like mocking that spoiled little punk
Yer wrong and you've got to look at proportion. Cook county (Chicago) had an approximate population of 5,375,000 as reported by the 2000 census. The number of homocides for Chicago in 2002 was 647 or about 130 less than the total number of combat and non-combat deaths reported in Iraq (out of a troop strength of approximately 135,000). It's also fairly obvious that the vast majority of citizens in Chicago do not have a target on their collective backs while our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines do.
When resolve is a mile wide and an inch deep, yes, "it" may be working.
