Default Will the surge work?

Let's put it right out on the table. It looks like Curious George's final push for stabilization in Iraq will go through with the aid of a nice trick -- GOP stonewalling.

Almost 4 years later, Boy King is going to finally send a few more troops. Do you think it will work, or fail, utterly?

If possible, try and be honest with yourself and objective when answering.

Think our military is stretched too thin, has had too many rotations into this region.. may offer some temporary relief, however long term will not make much of a difference if any difference at all. I question the Iraqi security forces resolve and ability to be consistent. The religious divide has much more of an effect than we understand, and should have been planned for.

That would actually be a better question for the Bush administration, but the pill they've been trying to get us to swallow is a stable Iraq, with an effective, democratic government.

The left wing liberal jealous Bush Hater democrats version of success is SURRENDER.

The phony bastards aren't worried about Iraq, 9/11, protecting America or any of the other things they bleat and whail about what they really want is "BUSH DESTROYED"

GET BUSH--GET BUSH-- GET BUSH.

THEY CALL HIM A STUPID MORON, THE MORON BEAT THEM TWICE, THE LEFT WING NEW DEMOCRATS WERE BEATEN TWICE, BY A MORON

Please inform Mr PressCover that the Democrats were beaten twice by a Moron.
Thank You
Harry

Lol, I notice you yourself didn't vote that the surge would work. Guess you don't trust the man that beat the Democrats twice either.

Good for you, Harry, nice to get you on the record. We'll revisit the issue when we're in the same exact situation two years from now that we're in today.

the definition of success is open to interpretation... but the question still stands... why, Mr. Black-or-White? will you, for once, be offering a gray answer in this complex world?

those they say "yes", we should ask that they provide their definition of success... and how they honestly expect it to happen...

me, i don't think the extra troops have a snowballs chance in hell of succeeding ... your interpretation or mine... unless, of course, it's all a rouse for a springboard into Iran, which wouldn't surprise me in the least...
