I'm not sure why McCain thinks the surge is working. As I understood it last summer, wasn't the surge supposed to last a couple of months? Doesn't it mean by definition, it has failed? I'm also glad Obama is going to Iraq, however, I'm more glad he cares about the home front and what we are all going through here, too.

We've had very 'experienced' candidates before. Bush supposedly had business experience, and Cheney had energy experience. Rumsfeld, too, was around the block a few times. It did not guaruntee a good adminstration. in order to avoid making Bushesque mistakes maybe McCain shouldn't simply rely on his 'experience'.
