So apparently the mastermind and creator of Bush's "surge" strategy, Frederick Kagan, has stated 1) 20K troops are not enough, 2) the troops should remain in Iraq for a long time, and 3) he doesn't like its name ("surge").

Bush has managed to defy the military commanders on the ground, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the ISG, most military strategy experts, most members of Congress, the majority of Americans, and he has defied the guy who hatched the plan to begin with.

And some will argue that GW's not the worst president in our history?! Incredible.
