have the sf MoveOn libs recovered yet?..from their brilliant General Petraeus ad, that backfired on them..

NBC Nightly News" featured retired General Barry McCaffrey, NBC News military analyst and "one-time war critic"...

voiced his "surprising new assessment" that conditions in Iraq have improved "dramatically" since the surge.

McCaffrey, former Drug Czar of the Clinton administration, remarked:

"A year ago, I thought the thing was going over the edge of a cliff. That has changed dramatically in a very short period of time."

McCaffrey also complimented....

"this new Secretary of Defense, Bob Gates, and General David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker" as "an unbelievable leadership team."

Reality Check from a "one-time war critic,"

..New progress in Iraq, and a surprising new assessment from a four-star general, just back from Baghdad.

"do you realize how stupid you sound?"

Considering this is written word, you are both insulting and ignorant.

"What happened to "every increase"?"

You are missing the nuance, John.

If you google it, you find these examples.

ncpa.org

However, if you look closer, you see the NCPA has an ax to grind.

As does every other source I looked at, although I only checked a couple of dozen.

Let's just say they cherry picked the data.
