Breathtaking Video: The Surge Worked
Ace of Spades HQ —
Breathtaking Video: The Surge Worked The before and after is simply remarkable. Call it the Unbroken Windows theory of political pacification: Intact floor-to-ceiling glass windows simply cannot exist in a warzone. More at Hot Air, including Michael Yon's assessment that the War is Over. And Yon hit the panic button pre-surge stating that we were losing the war, and were doomed to lose it if nothing changed.

“GOP senator: McCain betrayed Republican principles”

... to them.” Of course, it’s easy to pile on to the defeated (witness the McCain campaign shifting blame onto Sarah Palin) and an unpopular lame duck, so I wonder where DeMint was when the GOP was handing McCain its leadership crown. Too, while I criticize Bush for not using his veto pen (and for conceding too much to liberals as part of his “compassionate conservatism” approach), I continue to believe that he used the entirety of political capital to keep steadfast on the GWOT — the dividends from which, provided Obama is unable (or, more likely, ...
