John McCain is denying that he made a mistake when he stated to Katie Couric that the Anbar awakening occurred as a result of the surge.
He told reporters during an unscheduled stop in a super market that, what the Bush administration calls “the surge” was actually “made up of a number of components,” some of which began before the president’s order for more troops.
Funny, I thought the surge was a surge in the number of troops.
