God forbid anyone suggest that military successes that coincided with the surge may have been due to some other factors in addition to strong will and perseverance. Have we gotten to the point now where not only can one not say anything bad about the military, but one can't even attribute even the slightest portion of a success to anyone but the military?

If the Democrats continue to fund the war (which I, personally, think they should do), the GOP calls them a "do-nothing" Congress and accuses them of lying to the American people about ending the war.

If the Democrats stop funding the war, the GOP chastises them for not supporting our troops.

Just call this what it is: Partisan hackery at its finest.
