I guess the "surge" is the same as reducing crime by putting more policemen on the streets. It probably won't take the bad guys long to set up shop again once we stop surging. More police = less crime, our military intelligence must have thought long and hard to come up with this strategy.
The problem with these surges is running out of troops to surge with. I guess Obama is advocating a kind of mini-surge in Afghanistan by using some of the excess surge from Iraq. Maybe we should have surged Vietnam with more soldiers and won that one too. I wonder if we will soon be surging Iran?
