Have you noticed that Senator McCain keeps talking about the "success" of the "surge" in Iraq, without mentioning that the whole war in Iraq should never have been launched in the first place and has been a disaster from day one??? I think he is trying to keep us from remembering the lies from the Bush administration in the run-up to the war, and focus on his "double talk" about "progress" in Iraq. Besides, if the “surge” is working in Iraq, then why is Senator McCain dragging his feet on withdrawing our troops ? Why doesn’t he go along with the Iraqi government’s wishes for American troops to leave by 2010 ? Of course, throwing large amounts of troops in Iraq has reduced violence. But, at what cost and for how long ? I think McCain’s true wishes, like Bush, is now obvious, permanent occupation. Well, Senator McCain, the majority of the American public and world don’t agree.
The only "surge" that has taken place is the people's realization that the Iraq war has been a fiasco, diverting our attention from Afghanistan, where the real war against terrorism should be fought, as Senator Obama has urged for months. The real "surge" is here in our country in foreclosures, unemployment, inflation, gas prices, the budget deficit, food prices and numbers of wounded returning soldiers, all of which Senator McCain and the Republicans don't want you to remember.
So what "surge" are you talking about Senator McCain---the "surge" diversion in Iraq, or the "surge" on issues that really matter to the American people?
