Com'on, McTag, play fair. What is being tried here is the "Well, someone tied the hands of our commanders" ploy in order to deflect responsibility from George W.
Who done that? All the while that General Shinseki and Generals (retired and soon to be retired) were talking about needing 500,000 troops who was shushing him??
Meanwhile, this surge is another half-measure. The President's own backers were urging a level of at least 30,000 more to be effective. What's another couple of billion dollars a month??
