Surge is working, enemy WILL be defeated (take that Mr. “apparently” and take your secret timetable plan with you!)
Free all the Haditha marines... convict the fat liar murtha instead.
That shout “Oh Rah” from one of the younger military folks perhaps? Gave me a start!
“Our enemies in Iraq have been hit hard. They are not yet defeated, and we can still expect tough fighting ahead. Our objective in the coming year is to sustain and build on the gains we made in 2007, while transitioning to the next phase of our strategy. American troops are shifting from leading operations, to partnering with Iraqi forces, and, eventually, to a protective overwatch mission. As part of this transition, one Army brigade combat team and one Marine Expeditionary Unit have already come home and will not be replaced. In the coming months, four additional brigades and two Marine battalions will follow suit. Taken together, this means more than 20,000 of our troops are coming home.”
I don’t see McCain clapping.
You must live in an alternate universe.
