John Warner thinks we shouldby mid-September (we also learned that Sen. Warner has morethan). So, it only makes sense that the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination stepped forward this week tothat the new tactics we've adopted in Iraq are... "working"? As Bill Maher: "Apparently, the surge is working. Not the actual surge, but the phrase 'the surge is working' seems to be working." Way to keep the pressure on, Dems.

This week, we learned that all 16 U.S. intelligence agencies believe Iraq's political leaders "remain unable to govern effectively"; that the Joint Chiefs of Staff reportedly want to cut the U.S. force in Iraq next year by up to half; and that GOP Sen. John Warner thinks we should begin withdrawing troops by mid-September (we also learned that Sen. Warner has more backbone than Gen. Pace). So, it only makes sense that the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination stepped forward this week to forcefully declare that the new tactics we've adopted in Iraq are... "working"? As Bill Maher put it on HuffPost: "Apparently, the surge is working. Not the actual surge, but the phrase 'the surge is working' seems to be working." Way to keep the pressure on, Dems.
