This is not about whether the surge worked or not, but McCain will keep it on that point for as long as he can. And he can AS LONG AS OBAMA LETS HIM. It seems like it has been a long time since Obama talked about the lies that got us into this war in the first place.

Democrats and the New Deal brought the United States into the 20th century through massive investment in our nation's infrastructure. Millions went to work bringing electricity, clean water, and energy to the masses. Why is it that a family in rural Kentucky can flip a switch and the lights come on?
