The truth about the surge

With even the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee Barack Obama "admitting" the falsity that somehow the Petraeus surge campaign in Iraq was responsible for turning the tide in our war over there, made the 2003 invasion justifiable, etc., it may be instructive to go back over the evidence. In fact, perhaps it's worth recounting how the media has portrayed the surge's efficacy and by extension, helped shape public perception.

It might be a good idea for me to buy, read and review Bob Woodward's latest book "The War Within."
