Define 'progress,' general. |
|
How does the idea that we MIGHT be able to get troop levels back to where they started -- after another year -- indicate that the surge is making progress?
Wouldn't "progress" mean being able to reduce troops on the ground to BELOW pre-surge levels?

1. NOT being asked to "define" terms is how Republicans get away with their spin. |
|
...because the Democrats never ask.
Asking Petraeus to define "progress" would have been too logical, :crazy:
They also ALLOW the Republicans to use the terms "surrender" or "failure" without objection. (Being on the defensive about the "Betray us" ad seems more important to the Dems.) Why didn't they defend John Kerry when he was swiftboated in the same way the Republicans have rallied around Petraeus?
