As a lawyer, you should realize that if the surge suceeded in even

Yes. He was not just wrong. He was really really wrong.
No, he was really correct. The surge did not solve the problem it was
intended to solve. All it did was get us back to the level of violence
that existed before the U.S. actions escalated it. Sort of like the
Auto Glass repairman who goes around breaking windshields at night to
drum up business, or the volunteer fireman who torches buildings so he
can then pretend to be a hero.
Oh, yeah... this was all done using our children as cheap cannon
