Clinton stumbles over Iraq surge question.

We've begun to change tactics in Iraq, and in some areas, particularly in Al Anbar province, it's working.

Wrong answer lady!

The surge is not working because it is not keeping the violence down so that the government can get its work done. That was the plan. But just as this stupid surge thing started, the Iraq government took a vacation. So there is no new progress on that front. As a matter of fact a great number of the members have either quit or have been killed. Therefore, even if there is less violence in some places, the surge is a failure.

Besides how can something that only diminishes the violence in one area so that it can SURGE in another area be considered a success?

Clinton was talking to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and it is clear that she was shaping her message to match their expectations. But what she seems to be forgetting is that she is constantly in front of a national audience. This is the era of YouTube and every damn thing she says is going to heard by all of us.

And this was certainly a "damn" thing.
