In case you hadn’t noticed, the conservative talking heads have decided that promoting McCain’s support of the surge is their best bet at winning this election. Amazingly, they continue to repeat how McCain was right and Obama was wrong on this one, completely disregarding the fact that Obama was against the WAR in the first place. If people had listened to him then, we wouldn’t have needed a surge. How hard is that to figure out?

This video reminds me of the way Bush and Friends repeated the words “9/11″ and “Iraq” in the same sentence as often as possible, eventually creating an imaginary connection in the minds of the American people. If you say it out loud often enough, it becomes true.

In a slightly different version of history, there’s this clip about the surge. (TPM)
