4. Ah....your name.
Sun Drop was the name of our little fish who died last week. She was very yellow but got a huge belly for some reason.

McCain knows how to prolong a war.

11. By supporting the surge McCain was simply supporting the Iraq War plans
as written up by several generals over the late 1990s and early 2000s. The Bush White House ignored to call for 300,000 to 500,000 troops to keep control of Iraq. Rumsfield and all ignored that call for the right number of troops. When Iraq seemed broken beyond repair some people went back to those original plans. Ergo the "surge".
