Say, isn't O'Bomber from Chicago? Isn't it Chicago where O'Bomber did his "good works" as a "community organizer".Isn't it O'Bomber who would have ordered an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq...to prevent more American casualties?
Well, the surge worked, in spite of O'Bomber's and the rest of the cut and run crowd in the "defeat now" demoscat Congress opposition to the "surge".
Perhaps it's time we redeploy some surge troops to O'BomberLand, Chicago.
