Iraq surge a failure, top Democrats tell Bush

Top US congressional Democrats bluntly told President George W. Bush Wednesday that his Iraq troop "surge" policy was a failure.

Senate Majority leader Harry Reid and House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi challenged the president over Iraq by sending him a letter, ahead of a White House meeting later on Wednesday.

"In fact, the last two months of the war were the deadliest to date for US troops.

The letter appeared to preview a fresh showdown over Iraq between anti-war Democrats and the president, just a few weeks after Bush forced his foes to strip troop withdrawal timelines from a 100 billion dollar emergency war budget.

Let's see if they actually back it up this time. It is great that they keep telling Bush that he and all of his policies area failures, but they need to actually take actions to stop him.

3. The Bush people knew it would be a failure
The Bush White House put more thought in coming up with a catchy PR sound-bite - "surge" - than it did in even considering the consequences of the actual operation. Chalk this up to the usual PR idiots who invented such classics as "You're either with us or against us!" and "We fight them over there so we don't fight them over here."

4. "You're either with us or against us!"
They stole that phrase from the book "Catch 22", so they can't even come up with something original!
