How Long Does a Surge Last?
According to the optomistic General Casey, he does not expect significant results in Iraq until the summer and fall, but, in his words, "I believe that this plan can work."
Interestingly enough, I expect the same death toll among American troops this August as we had last August (about 70), and, in my words, "I can't believe they think this plan can work."
George Casey certainly has more credibility than I do, but then again, General Casey himself was against sending more troops to Iraq before he was for it. General Abizaid (Another 4 Star General) has also opposed the troop surge in the past. I'm interested to see if Bush has him recant to the national press as well.
