The good news is that they were all Iraqi. That don't count right? The "surge" is still working right? :sarcasm:

3. The term "The Surge" is wearing thin. It's the most dumbed down
name for a strategy I've ever heard.

Its exactly the same as "Send More Troops", and this is rolled out as some sort of brilliant strategy McCain can take credit for?

Even worse, if it doesn't work, we're off to Iran aren't we?

5. I like how they don't call it an "escalation"

4. Americans turned against this war because of American casualties. Nothing more.
I'm convinced that Americans would have continued to support this war if American casualties had been minimal, and 2 million Iraqis were killed.
