that's an incorrect statement. I would LOVE for the surge to work...I would LOVE for us to "win" this war. I think America would look good if we won and that is good for everyone who calls themselves an American.
But answer my question: Petraeus did say that the surge should be done by this summer, right?
That gives us like 4 months to close up shop and be home with months to spare before March 31, 2008.
The only reason Republicans would be opposed to a deadline is if they are lying about the surge working.
So, which is it Republicans? Is the surge not working or are you just making politics out of the deadline?
