Liberman and McSame are running around yelling that the "Surge has succeeded". McSame likes to say it three times in a row. No, it hasn't. The 'surge' was supposed to provide 'breathing room' for the Iraqi politicians to get their act together and pull the country together. That still hasn't happened. Two-thirds of the country is still not represented in the government. And they still don't have a plan to share the oil wealth.
Plus, the 'surge' itself, was really just us paying off the insurgents so they wouldn't shoot at us. At the point that we stop doing that. Or when Al Sadr decides to call off the cease fire, then things will go back to just as they were before.
I'm so sick of these right wingers who are incapable of looking at Iraq in any objective way. What's more, I know that should Obama become President, they will flip in an instant and become anti-Iraq war. Just like Hannity did with Bosnia. He couldn't support the war even after it began because Clinton lacked "the moral character to be commander and chief".
