word of the day: "surge"

So that's the new vision/option/change of course being contemplated, after nearly 3 years of not even trying to face the fact ("-on-the-ground," if you must) that Plan A sucks: "increasing more troops"? There are many sins for which I might have supposed Rumsfeld to have been relieved from his post, but I admit that my imagination has failed me once again: it hadn't occurred to me that the problem might have been his failure to recommend more death, more quickly.
