Surge Derangement Syndrome Grips MSM and Liberals

Surge Derangement Syndrome Grips MSM and Liberals | NewsBusters.org

With the success of the surge in Iraq becoming more evident with each passing day, a new ailment has gripped the Mainstream Media and the liberals: Surge Derangement Sydrome (SDS). The earliest known case of SDS occurred on April 23 when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid responded to a question by CNN's congressional correspondent Dana Bash of whether he would believe General David Petraeus if he reported that the "so-called surge" is working:

REID: No, I don't believe him, because it's not happening. All you have to do is look at the facts.


Well, as we do look at the facts that the surge is working, the MSM and the liberals are showing more signs of severe SDS. Some of these SDS signs have been noted in the August 9 edition of Investor's Business Daily, 'Surge' Critics Perhaps Were Bit Premature:

Do Democratic opposition leaders keep blaming each other for voting for the Iraq War? Or are they now talking about expanding military operations to other countries?

Sen. Hillary Clinton once was damned for voting to authorize the war in Iraq. But her even-more-liberal rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., now expresses his own willingness to invade nuclear Islamic Pakistan.

the incread activity of the surge also provides Iraqi security forces with valuable trigger time increasing their operational experience and steeling thier nerve as a unit

it's becoming more and more obvious that the surge is working though, all political posturing aside

and according to some recent polls support for the war is actually on an up trend

It doesn't bother me that so many conservatives are in favor of this idiotic war...Its the refusal to look at any part of it with a critical eye...The surge has not been a success unless we have been watching different news casts somehow...The Iraqi government is not more stable and the insurgents have not been defeated just moved away from Baghdad...Patreaus is an honest guy and will likely report a military victory....and well duh
of course we are kicking the insurgents ass when we engage them that was never in doubt of course they back away from engaging professional soldiers and marines that was never in doubt either ......but Baghdad (I can never get the spelling right darn it) is no longer the real problem
