Surge Working?

A democratic senator, Dick Durbin, concedes that the surge is working.

Funny I didn't see Sandra or Sheree talk about that last night.

As I called it six months ago, anti war democrats painted themselves into a corner on the war. Either success or failure would work against them. If they had simply backed Bush this whole time knowing "hey, the guy's done in 2008", they could have campaigned on a more nuanced strategy of finishing the job and still looked like they were not anti American.

Instead they created a space where Bush would get credit for success and they would be blamed for failure.

This is what happens when you read too many liberal rags like the NY Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe. You're surrounded by too much group think.

Just ask John McCain.
