When Mike left for Iraq last year as part of the strategic troop surge I had been supportive of the whole idea, and remained that way. I posted several articles on the successes in the beginning of the movement, and I was believing that we would see how each small success would accumulate into a huge success in the end.

Well, Virginia, it’s true. The surge is a failure, but it’s a different surge that I am talking about. I found the following post at Dumb Looks Still Free, and the author has brilliantly compared the successes of the Iraqi Government’s benchmarks against our own Democrats in Congress and their progress toward their own benchmarks.

The surge of Democrats in Congress is a failure! It’s time for them to retreat! We should cut all of their funding.
