Surge for What? What Possible definitions of surge success are there?

[patrice]

I think it is a "Surge" for surging's sake alone. A CYA that will be called whatever they want to call it, because there isn't anything we can really do, but kill and die.

Am I wrong? What successes are Possible?

This is a surge, " . . . because I said so!!"

1. Surge, my ass. Surge THIS. Hey, I got your surge right here, hangin'. Of all the fucking

colossaly stupid ideas bushyboy and them have dreamt up, this "surge" business is the most delusional.

Fuck me, we really HAVE fallen down the rabbit hole.

5. Surge my ass

Call it what it is: an escalation. That's like when they use the term, "sectarian violence" to mean "civil war", and "ethnic cleansing" when they mean "genocide". It's all marketing and smoke and mirrors with these guys. Spread the word!

Viagra gives you a surge.

7. He's only trying to buy time

And if he spends lives to do it, he's happy. It will make him happy.

8. Where are the troops coming from?

The Army already says it is broken. Now * is messing up the troop rotation. He has no idea what he is doing.

9. Won't they just wait us out?

So we send 20,000 or more additional troops in to escalate (I refuse to call it a surge or anything other than what it is) the violence. So suppose the Sunni and Shia stop killing each other for a brief while. Then, if by chance we declare victory and pull our troops out, won't they just go back to what they're doing today?
