The "surge." If it were a product, you'd never buy it. That's why they're working so hard to sell it to you.

Please read what the brave soldiers of the 82nd Airborne have to say about the Iraq war in an op-ed first published in the NY Times, Aug. 19, 2007:

Iraq is NOT a quagmire. It's more of a tar pit.

Of course the surge is working. If you put that many troops in my neighborhood, even jay walking would stop. You should have seen the surges they did in Denver and St Paul - those worked, you can't "Recreate '68" with that many troops in town. The question is whether we can get out not how long can we stay. Our kids need schools, healthcare and environmental responsibility not war.

Excellent work, great satire

Sure, all the other generals disagree with it. But the only important matter is if General Patraeus agree it.

And don't question him?! Because if you question Patraeus, then you question his integrity.

And if you question his integrity, then you hurt the troops.

And if you hurt the troops, angels lose their wings.

mmunson: provide some kind of substantiative criticism, or shut the fuck up. I don't think you've the courage to make that comparison to someone's face. For example, mine.

Yup: "The White House just wrote it's own review."

P.S. That bar graph was pretty darn good!
