The surge is working? mmm, seem to be different views here...

Perhaps hillllary jumped up too soon.

Clinton and Obama’s divergent views on the troop surge in Iraq, however, were plainly visible.

When Bush proclaimed, “Ladies and gentlemen, some may deny the surge is working, but among terrorists there is no doubt,” Clinton sprang to her feet in applause but Obama remained firmly seated. The president’s line divided most of the Democratic audience, with nearly half standing to applaud and the other half sitting in stony silence.

In one instance Clinton appeared to gauge Obama’s response before showing her own.

When Bush warned the Iranian government that “America will confront those who threaten our troops, we will stand by our allies, and we will defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf” Obama jumped up to applaud. Clinton leaned across Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), seated to her left, to look in Obama’s direction before slowly standing.

(but of course both of them applaud war talk against Iran... pair of dumbasses, but Hillary is the biggest dumbass... and McCain is a psychotic threat to the planet)

More Hill:
Not only does Hillary Clinton say the surge is working, she says we constantly need to be preparing for the next war. While what she's saying sounds prudent to conservatives, it won't sound too great to liberals.
