McCain: On the surge and why you're too dumb to understand him

McCain denies he misstated timing of Iraq surge

Republican John McCain pushed back on Wednesday against Democratic criticism that he misstated when the troop buildup ordered by President Bush began, saying elements were put in place before Bush announced the strategy in early 2007.

He told reporters during an unscheduled stop in a super market that, what the Bush administration calls "the surge" was actually "made up of a number of components," some of which began before the president's order for more troops.

It's all a matter of semantics, he suggested.
...
McCain asserted he knew that and didn't commit a gaffe. "A surge is really a counterinsurgency made up of a number of components. ... I'm not sure people understand that `surge' is part of a counterinsurgency."

See stupid, when he refers to the surge he doesn't mean the commonly used definition of 'the troop increase' that everyone uses, he means the 'everything that happened before during and after the military conceived of adding additional troops into Baghdad' definition that he just invented. Of course he didn't get the timeline of the surge wrong, showing a staggering inability to understand what is supposedly his strongest issue, because the surge is everything. It is the one, the alpha, the omega, it encompasses all. How could McCain say something happened before the surge when everything in Iraq is the surge now, how could the surge create a burrito so big that it could not eat it? It couldn't, it is the surge.

Go find a hole to cry your tears of wrongness into, then drown yourself in it. John McCain is always right.
