USA Today has a piece today on the success of the surge. The summary ? Congressional Democrats, meanwhile, seem lost in a time warp. They could try to impose new benchmarks that acknowledge the military progress. Instead, too many seem unable or unwilling to admit that President Bush’s surge of 30,000 more troops has succeeded beyond their initial predictions.
To find an opposing viewpoint, they went to Maxine Waters, a well known expert on the middle east. Pitiful doesn’t cover half of it.

(sigh) I’m curious if USA Today had to hunt far and wide to find the one last remaining dissenter still under the mainstream liberal umbrella (as opposed to the kooky sphere of Kucinich, etc) or if she queried them to write the piece… .either way, when a politician has been publicly labeled as one of the “most corrupt” members of congress by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington for two years it would behoove a leading publication to be more discerning in who they want to promote a certain pov. …you know, credibility and all that….
