In the Wake of the Surge
Move along now, nothing to see here...
Gee, imagine if we had tried this back in 2003, when there was still considerable support for the war? Bush might have saved his majority in Congress & cemented his legacy. Rumsfeld was an idiot who bought into the light, lean, and lethal doctrine. Nothing wrong with being lethal, but light & lean doesn’t work when you have to hold & pacify hostile terriory. How dumb is trying to fight a GWOT while actually DECREASING the size of the military?
The surge is working!
