Is McCain's Surge Really Working? No.

T
his from a good friend in the Army's medical corp serving in Iraq:

"Anyhow, this second deployment is totally different. . . we are losing Soldiers on the daily! My Unit is operating a Level II TMC here right in the heart of Baghdad and trust me, we have seen every kind and type of injury you can imagine. We are working 7 days a week/ 14 hour shifts. There is only time for sleep and work and nothing much in between."

So -- for commentators like Andrew Sullivan -- how many more dead and maimed American Servicemen is enough before he asks, "is the surge really a success"?

For the likes of Fox News' Fred Barnes, how many more years of "winning" in Iraq can American servicemen stand?

The surge is a failure, whether measured by the non-existent independent Iraqi government McCain -- and Bush -- promised us. Or by American casualties.

Sorry . . . . Not a success.

Do you hear that Andrew Sullivan . . . McCain is wrong.
