<p>Everyone? Does that include some guy named Bob Woodward? One of his main points in his new book “The War Within” is that improved intelligence methods played a big role in lowering violence in Iraq, further downplaying the importance of the surge.</p>

<p>Yes, I say McCain is stupid because he can barely follow a teleprompter and contradicts himself in interviews, makes lots of gaffes (Sunni-Shia mix-up, the persistent existence of Czechoslovakia, Iraq war was really for oil, ignorance of who the Spanish prime minister is, being against the AIG bailout before being for it), surge is kind of working but still thinks it’s the panacea for everything wrong in Iraq. Atrocious grades don’t equal wisdom.</p>
<p>We’re not in an idiocracy, at least not completely yet.</p>

<p>Not to be ungracious, but quantity does not equal quality, and there have been a few times when pugfug’s “evidence” actually undercut his own argument.</p>
