Sounds like surrender to me. So we surge troops for three months and then draw down two months later. This together with his brilliant immigration strategy should qualify Bush for an early retirement.

Disgusted.

Your comment is just plain old stupid.

It is more than just a surge of US troops and you know it! And quit linking this issue with your concern over illegal immigrants.

The ROEs have changed significantly, we have moved from the FOBs, a lot more Iraqi troops have been added into Baghdad including those Kurd troops from the north and the Iraqis are really stepping up.

Notice we have only had one massive bombing in Baghdad proper since May 11 and notice al Anbar is doing remarkable? Notice how we have built an Iraqi army and police force over just a few short years?

Have you even been paying enough attention to realize the Dilya campaign is about to start? Go read former Nebraska senator Kerry's op ed in the opinion journal, keep up what is going on at Bill Roggio's web site and quit buying the NY Slimes template on this issue.
