oh wait, "escalation" is a term from the VietNam war, and WE can't have that reminder, can we?

Yes, it is.
"Surge" is a modern rebranding of old good "escalation".

To see what the results of the first two months of the surge (we're talking after the operations were announced as opposed to after the full force got on the ground), see my blog article entitled "The Surge"
Frankly, I was surprised at even the early results:

We are fighting a different war here and the word surge is an accurate term.

You don't want to remember we were winning the war in Vietnam tell we lost the public support here.
After we pulled out the democrat Congress stop funding the South Vietnam as promise and let them die by the 1000s.

No.
In fact I am surprised that the liberals are not attempting to pretend the surge is not happening - since it has already achieved its primary objectives.

Technically, no, because a 'surge' is supposed to be temporary, from the start.

No, it's what all the armchair general Dems called for, then when they got it, they didn't want it anymore. Now that it looks like it is working, they really don't want it anymore..... Why don't you want it if it is working?
