Which facts? That there were no WMDs?

The surge started working when Muqtada al Sadr declared a ceasefire.
Now that it looks like that ceasefire is crumbling, I suspect the surge
will go with it. Meanwhile, Bushco is borrowing 10 to 12 billion
dollars a month in current spending for this fiasco - and four to six
times that in long-term spending - with no end in sight. I wonder if
Afghanistan will be lost too.
