Even the defiled NY Times publishes the fact that the surge decision was correct and, against all odds, produced victory.

I would encourage everyone to start ignoring pkronfield's post. He is a bigot and a right wing wacko who needs to be ignored.

Welcome to the world of liberalism! If what you say or believe isn't poltically correct you are not free to express your opinions.
