If nuts like McCain didn't support invading Iraq no surge would have been needed

Doesn't that say more about who was right on this issue?

1. So simple, so true. This should be brought up more when

responding to McGaffe!

2. Yeah, nuts like McCain, Clinton, Feinstein, Kerry, Kennedy, etc. etc.

Just one more example that it is becoming more and more obvious that we're living under the two party/same corporate master system of government.

3. Every good thing has to end

With or without the surge the invasion would have either "gotten better" or the media would have gotten better about ignoring it or highlighting that things are improving (Solders aren't getting electrocuted in KBR showers any more after nearly 8 years or so.)

4. The original battle plans for Iraq, written by generals before the war, called

for 300,000 to 500,000 troops needed to invade Iraq and keep it stable. Rummy ignored all this. The surge was just an attempt to redo what they had done so wrong.
