This whole "troop surge" idea is so dumb.

[flamin lib]

When they wanted more troops for guarding ammo stocks and hospitals they couldn't have them. Now that it's hopeless they're getting more whether they're needed or not.

Like when I was kid. I was six years old and asked Santa for a soldier suit. Fifteen years later I got one . . .

3. Troop surge is just political marketting/spin for last ditch desperation move

Honestly when you hear them pull out a word like surge you just know its spin. They don't want to come out and just say throw more bodies on the problem. That doesn't have the right ring to it. But surge.... oooya.. that sounds coool.

The GOP is like an automotive company that fired all its engineers and replaced them with marketters. Yeah, the cars sell like crazy but none of them work.

4. When has anything this bastard* ever done worked?

I don't know why people can't see this, what the fuck are they expecting? that after five years this miscreants* ideas are going to work, fuck that we need to do the exact opposite of anything coming from fucknutz*.

6. Bush is simply doing what Johnson did 40 years ago, keep sending more troops.

At least, Bush is trying to do what Johnson did. He doesn't have a conscript army like Johnson did.
