bin Laden approves the surge

This is absolutely true, and spoken by a Republican Senator:

During his questioning of Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Crocker, Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH) said that, because of the Iraq war, “we’re at a point where we’re really strained and stressed out.” “I hate to agree with Sen. Feingold,” he added, “but I think Osama bin Laden is sitting back right now looking at this thing [and saying] in effect, ‘We’re kinda bankrupting this country.’ We are eating our seed corn. We’ve got some really big problems today, and we are in a recession, and God only knows how long we’re gonna be in it.”

If a Dem said it, they'd be trashed. If every Dem said it, it would sink in so far maybe even the media would dismiss this empty talk of "winning" something in Iraq.

And furthermore, if the war in Iraq was as important as the President and most Republicans say it is, they would have committed the resources and won it already!
