It would have been great if the "surge" came as a surprise so that he would have still been in Iraq when it happened

There was a Tom Clancy book in which the US president wanted to nuke Qom, Iran- "Sum of All Fears" maybe? But that pansy Jack Ryan stopped him. :)

Mookies situation parallels the WMD situation. Fighting with the traitors on our side, bought time to get him out of the country. Liberals win, America loses.

That can only happen if we don't give the Iraqi Army the equipment and arms they need.

Isn't this where Binny's boy, the son who married a daughter of Muhammad Atef, was said to have went in Iran?
