“You haven’t been to Iraq, Lindsey,” Webb riposted. “You go see the dog and pony shows, that’s what congressmen do.” As Jonathan Finer explained: "Prescient insights rarely emerge from a few days in-country behind the blast walls."Major proponent of the "Surge": Juan Cole explains that the "Surge" (Really an "escalation") is nothing to write home about. But the troop escalation has failed to stop bombings in Baghdad, and the frequency and deadliness of attacks increased in February and March, after falling in January. So, in short, I'm not really sure that Howard Kurtz makes a convincing case that McCain really has anything "in the bank" when it comes to foreign policy expertise.
