And about this "surge"

that everyone keeps talking about -

Folks, right now it's not the number of troops we have in Iraq, it's how those troops are put to use. All the troops in the world won't do a tinker's damn worth of good if you don't let them do their fucking jobs!

Of all the messages in Bush's speech two nights ago, it was his willingness to change tactics that we should be focusing on, not how many more troops that he wants to put into Iraq. It's the tactics that matter right now, more so than the number of soldiers on the ground.
