House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said on Tuesday that the troop surge, which began in June, has had a significant impact on the situation in Iraq and noted that he had always been critical of the Bush administration for deploying an insufficient number of troops in previous years.
“Stability and a decrease in violence, they’ve done that – God bless them. I’m not surprised that they did,” Hoyer told Cybercast News Service in response to a question about steadily declining U.S. casualty rates in Iraq.
Of course, they’ll never DARE mention this, unless it’s an attempt to remove Hoyer as whip. Which I predict at the 08 election. Watch for it.
