#1 What he didn't say and can't say is that there was one politician in Washington that knew what the outcome of the Surge would be and his name is John McCain. McCain had to call in some chips with W to get him to approve this and he then told Petraeus he would run interference for him on the Hill. If it wasn't for McCain and his cohorts - Lieberman and Graham - the Dem congress would have kicked the Surge to touch without gaining a yard. I only wish O'Reilly had challenged him on this but he let it slide.

#2 "The surge has succeeded in ways that nobody anticipated".
Nonsense. While the surge has not been perfect, it has worked very well, and a lot of people expected it to.
