Lillian, all the troops in the surge didn't get to Iraq at once. It took a couple of months. Duh.

consider this...the Crocker/Petraeus report was timed to occur and get talked out just prior to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, (a time of likely increases in violence and events that inspire revenge)

As a veteran of the US Army I know I owe respect to the Commander in Chief but I'll tell you, this guy we call our President just doesn't cut the mustard. Being ex military I see a lot of correlations between things that are going on that a lot of civilians don't. The Surge. Then all the lies on CNN last weekend that the troops were coming home. Bush has people wrapped around his little finger and it is ugly. General Ptroski(can't spell it) did nothing but repeat in lay mans terms exactly what Bush said. We need to get our troops out of there now. We have enough resources (coal and our own oil) and are developing future fuel sources that we need to learn to depend on. This is a CIVIL war. It is a RELIGIOUS war. This is a OIL war. Our troops should not be defending any of these things. It is always in the back of my mind how many $$$$$$$$$$ the President and Vice President have wrapped up in oil. Bush knows he's on the out, and heck Chaney is barely living his way through this term. They are setting themselves up for the rest of their lives. The war over religion has been going on since Biblical times. Why did no other President get so involved? Think about it? I love my country and have fought for it but this one is for the birds!!! Whew - sorry I kinda lost it there for a moment!!

No, the iraqis planned that long before the surge.

kiddy...unlike your instant gratification world, in the REAL world it takes time to get things done, specially if it is a big thing, like sending troops reinforcements somewhere, you have to fly them over, plus ALL the equipment, etc, it takes time...lots of time....! months as a matter of fact! the Iraqis vacation has nothing to do with our troop movement requirements, it just happened to coincide!

If you were so bright you would know that the surge began in June. Now who is the brilliant one? Yeah, they finished getting there in June. This was announced in January.

Yes, he did it while planning 911 to make money on oil, he is also the "Tooth Fairy" and responsible for the entire world going astray, he also had something to do with lighting the fires that burned "ROME".
