Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is the biggest ass in the Senate.
He’s trying to make the case that even though the surge is working, neither our President nor the troops deserve any credit:
"The violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda, said to these tribes: “We have to fight al Qaeda ourselves.”
I've never served in the military, but know many people who have, along with many of the members here on Zilvia who are in the military, but statements like this just piss me off.
I've let my opinion be known by sending an email. If you want to here's his contact info.
