What A Surge Really Means

[jillian]

Perhaps the military folk want the damned politicians out and the handcuffs removed so they can do what they are trained to do.

I'd have been okay with that at the beginning when they were begging for troops. Now I don't think it's worth one more American life because there's no practical objective that can be met by escalation at this time. It's just too late.

And I WAS listening to military folk... like Abizaid who seemed to know EXACTLY what he was talking about.
