Rush is just gleeful....He just played a clip of Sarah Palin today from a small town in WI....She speaks of the success of the Iraq surge....and says it's no wonder Obama doesn't want to talk about it....He was wrong, and so tries to include everyone else in being wrong too.... Bob Woodward has a new book out. I (of course) haven't read it, but reports are he's taking the position that the reduction in violence in Baghdad and Iraq as a whole is due to factors other than the surge. These folks really do believe their own press, don't they?

Ouch! Palin at the Wisconsin rally today: "Senator Obama said that the surge 'succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,' I think said Senator Obama, that that surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated. I guess when you turn out to be profoundly wrong on a vital national security issue, maybe it's comforting to pretend that everyone else was wrong, too. But I remember it a little differently. It seems to me there was one leader in Washington who did predict success, who refused to call retreat, and risked his own career for the sake of the surge and victory in Iraq. And, ladies and gentlemen, that man is standing right next to me -- Senator John McCain." wbay.com
