Kowabunga

Tonight is my monthly beer and politics night with the Townhall Meetup group. This group has been going strong for about four years now.

No idea what we'll be discussing, except I bet Senator Craig and the Minnesota Foot Tappers Association will be on the list of talking points.

Possibly even Chuck Schumer's denigrating our troops in Iraq again as well.

Schumer said on the Senate Floor:

And let me be clear, the violence in Anbar has gone down despite the surge, not because of the surge. The inability of American soldiers to protect these tribes from al Qaeda said to these tribes we have to fight al Qaeda ourselves. It wasn't that the surge brought peace here. It was that the warlords took peace here, created a temporary peace here. And that is because there was no one else there protecting.

He also makes mention of the Warlords who currently hate al Qaeda more than they hate us as being a significant contributor to the changes now occurring in Iraq.

What is with this guy?
