‘Surge’ running behind schedule.
Top U.S. intelligence officials yesterday disclosed to the Senate “that the deployment of Iraqi forces into Baghdad under President Bush’s new plan to stabilize Iraq is running behind schedule and that all of the units sent so far have arrived under strength, some by more than half. “

Isn't this good news for the moonbats? They are opposed to the surge.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:27 pmThe new Wendy's in the green zone isnt up and running yet.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:30 pmMy God, this administration can't do anything right, can they?
February 28th, 2007 at 1:32 pmKeep setting up those straw men, Patrick.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:33 pmYou certainly can't win any legitimate argument...
And yes, this is good new, along with the fact that most of the units don't have enough troops because of desertion. Once you've lost the support of the military you're through.
God Bless America!
February 28th, 2007 at 1:35 pmThis is bad news, just like the fact that Patrick1's fearful leader didn't send enough troops in the first place. It would be like an NBA team only send 4 guys to a game. For some reason dumb a$$ sh!t heads like Patrick1 can't figure that out.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:42 pmQuick, get more troops so we can station them in localities where they are easier targets!
February 28th, 2007 at 1:44 pmSurge my ass, more like fish barrel.
Patrick is another one of these cultists who is not here for an argument. I suggest the same thing I did for Michael. Just ignore him. He's here to annoy and provoke. Nothing really of any benefit to offer. Just pretend he's not there. He'll eventually go away.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:45 pmWhy don't you make a legitimate argument and we will see. The desertion statement is another moonbat lie..a stunning Olbermann like record. Again, it is funny that the moonbats say we didn't send enough troops when they didn't want to send any.
Are supposed to take military advice from cowards now?
February 28th, 2007 at 1:46 pmPatrick, what are you doing still sitting at that keyboard? Get your @ss over to the recruiting office and join the surge! Show your support for the puppet you call president and all of his wonderful ideas.
February 28th, 2007 at 1:56 pmDon't worry about Patrick, he's being outsourced by Fox News to smear in ThinkProgress, if a real republican would read every post published in ThinkProgress he would become a democrat :-)
February 28th, 2007 at 2:08 pmA coward is somebody who types at a keyboard and refuses to sign up for the military and fight in a war he supports, while trying to take shots at people who have already served their country in a time of war.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:11 pmI'm still waiting for something interesting that Think Progress posts, mostly it is desperation spin.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:21 pmThe cultist objects to my characterization by typing: "Why don’t you make a legitimate argument and we will see."
It's been tried over and over. The cultist simply ignores all good arguments and continues with annoying and ignorant talking points. There is no point in engaging a cultist like this.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:22 pmStill waiting.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:32 pmPatrick1 thinks we want to debate him to try and get him to see our point of view. Well, personally I don't want people like him to change their minds and see things our way. I don't want insane kool aid drinker on our side. Free thinking is what we want, not loonies like him.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:33 pmI've decided that Patrick is some kind of bot, residing on a regressive server somewhere. It's just programmed to spew forth with the usual righttard talking points at random intervals. That's why it's not able to go fight in the occupation of Iraq and support the pResident it claims to worship.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:39 pmSo now they are sending them over without training.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:42 pmYesterday I identified it as Patrick-the-talking-point-robot.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:43 pmPatrick1 is like that fish in a barrel. Keep him around because it's so much fun to watch him flit about. The desertion thing is not a lie pattyfish. If you were to actually read the link you would have found that out.
Show me where this is a lie, but remember you'll be calling the top military brass liars and only if you can fire them can you say that.
It's quite simple patrick one, your'e not an original thinker or a critical one for that matter. You are told what to do.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:44 pmPatrick 1.0
February 28th, 2007 at 2:48 pmThis beta test isn’t working.
Bad clone.
We’ll wait for version 2.0 to see if the bugs have been worked out.
Speaks, but incoherent.
Thinks it thinks, but no evidence of intelligence.
Prone to spewing ‘garbage in, garbage out’.
Technically inoperable.
This is a piece of junk, boys; back to the workshop.
If our group rolled out software as pathetic as the seriously flawed Pattsie© 1.0 we'd all get fired.
February 28th, 2007 at 3:10 pmI hope nobody is surprised by this development. It follows a pattern. It won't self-adjust. And it is one of the primary reasons this surge idea will fail.
February 28th, 2007 at 3:22 pmTroubles for the Iraq Oil Deal
Read this and find the Truth about Iraq and bushes plans ......
February 28th, 2007 at 3:40 pmQUICK! BRING IN THE "SURGE PROTECTORS"!!!!!
February 28th, 2007 at 3:57 pmWHERE WILL WE PLUG THEM IN, SIR?
WHERE ELSE, SOLDIER?
OK...BEND OVER, SIR!!!!!
Unless we get into the fray.The WH will continue their error ridden policies.Call Harry Reid's office folks and tell him to bring the kids home (troops).
