How's That Surge Going?

You know there was a speech last night, and the reason that I haven't been posting anything more about this whole hoopla is that there have been (nor will be) any surprises. Exactly what you think is happening, is happening - things are going from bad to worse in Iraq and the chickenhawks here are telling you everything they are doing is successful and they just need some more time and money.

But you can read the details of all the testimony and speeches at TPM (although I don't see anything about John Edwards' response, which turns out to have been a two-minute ad : "no timeline, no funding, no excuses" - transcript here) or, as outlined at Whatever It Is, I'm Against It, with wit and humour, which is the only way to get through this with your sanity in tact.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
