"The surge HAS worked"....??.....

>>>Don't you think that the success of the surge might have changed the opinions of rational folks<<<


Looks like the "success" is only evident to a few select. August poll numbers are pretty much within the margin of error when compared to previous ones.


"According to the early August Gallup poll, 66% of Americans favor removing all U.S. troops from Iraq by April of next year, except for a limited number involved in counter-terrorist operations."

>>>Why have the Dems repeatedly refused to act consistently and cut funding for the war NOW?<<<


Because they're gutless cowards. The right would label them traitors of the century the moment they cut the first nickel from the war funding. Clear enough?


>>>the flap over Rush's statemen that they distorted and attempted to make an issue of. Truly pathetic<<<


Let me understand: Rush crapped all over every soldier who opposes the war calling them "phony" and those taking offense of that are pathetic. But when moveon.org criticized a general, those who took offense were heroic patriots. So basically, US troops can be trashed and belittled so long as the trashing originates with a Bush friendly source. Correct?
