McCain really doesn't know what he's talking about when he talks about Iraq. Well, he either really doesn't or he's really confused. Not sure which is worse.



Except for the fact that, alone among the candidates, McCain advocated the Surge, and that it decisively turned the war in our favor.

Obama and Hillary would both undermine that victory and reverse it with immediate reductions in troops, and by pulling out prematurely.


Oh I'm sorry. I must not have been paying attention. I thought the point of the surge was by the President’s own measure, to give the Iraqi government breathing room to make progress on political reconciliation, halt sectarian violence and train its own security forces.

Also, A report last September by the Government Accountability Office showed Iraq had perhaps met three to five of 18 benchmarks.

I must've missed all this "success" happening while posting about Hillary Clinton.

Here... some more success for you.

Many Iraqi promises are called unmet

the good news is that among the military, they're starting to side with Obama and The Democrats.

it must really chap your deluded hide.


NO. NO. NO. NO.

Tell me again about the surge being a success.

since I detailed in Bush's own terms, the point of the surge, tell me again how it's a fucking success.
