If "the surge" is "working", the logical follow-up question is what about "the surge" is "working?". I think a skeptical (as she/he should be) and resourceful investigative reporter might want to look at the bank accounts and personal wealth of some key former insurgents/combatants. Wouldn't surprise me if the CIA wasn't doing more than a little bribery to bring about the desired behavior modifications prior to our November election. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is worth a look. I haven't heard anyone yet make a convincing case on what about "the surge" is "working".

That he got elected because his opponents dropped out? That he was the heir apparent personally selected by his predessesor for his Illinois senate seat? That he only actually worked as an attorney for a few years? What about the company he keeps? Rezko - un indictment for a host of felony charges related to influence peddling, set to go on trial this week and the man who helped Obama buy his expensive house.

Big surprise that they would leap onto a statement that could (and was!!!) either deliberately misinterpreted or was capable of being misinterpreted, hence the immediate retraction. Nice to see that there are a few thinkers out there too, even amongst those who admit they are not McCain or Republican supporters.

The rest – well, you're entitled to your opinion, but with courtesy please. Opinions are a lot more credible that way – it usually means you actually thought before you lashed out too.

I am so sick of these people I look forward to the day when they are simply a spot in history and the country can move on.

A debate between the future democratic candidate and Nader would be a winner if staged by CNN because it would open up issues and concerns that so far have been ignored by the candidates.Just because Nad er has no chance of being elected is no reason to ignore his important position points.
