Bush's "Surge" Politically Motivated Rather Than Strategic Militarily

Gee, what a surprise. From Stranger at Blah3:

People should be jumping all over Bush for this. ThinkProgress reports that the White House is, as always, thinking of the political rather than the strategic. Sad, but true..

Interestingly enough, one administration official admitted to us today that this surge option is more of a political decision than a military one because the American people have run out of patience and President Bush is running out of time to achieve some kind of success in Iraq. Way to honor the troops.

Cynical bastards.
