"STOP trashing the Surge, too, as B. Hussein has dropped that part"
Wrong again. He has been consistent in his criticism that while the Troop Escalation may lead to temporary short-term security gains, the Surge alone:
1) would NOT guarantee diplomatic progress
2) may siphon needed troops away from Afghanistan
