Surge is the word, is the word that you heard, its got groove its got meaning. 

The President is finding hindsight is bitch once again so I thought I'd throw this little flashback from the 2004 elections via Think Progress out there.  I know you won't see it mentioned anywhere in the media nowadays but it seems a certain Presidential candidate named John Kerry proposed expanding the size of the active military by 40,000 troops to deal with the strain caused by deployments to Iraq and was not only mocked because it flew counter to Secretary Rumsfeld's "fewer troops w/ bigger booms" reforms at the Pentagon, but the President and other Republicans said it made us "less safe" because he proposed paying for it by making cuts to one of the central pillars of our "Global War on Terror" effort; the Star Wars missile defense budget. 

Who says "politics ends at the water's edge" when it comes to war and foreign policy?
