McCain Begins Counter-Insurgency Against His Own Surge Statements

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Republican John McCain pushed back on Wednesday against Democratic criticism that he misstated when the troop buildup ordered by President Bush began, saying elements were put in place before Bush announced the strategy in early 2007.

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.

It's all a matter of semantics, he suggested.

McCain said Army Col. Sean MacFarland started carrying out elements of a new counterinsurgency strategy as early as December 2006.

Yes . . . it was "McCain's Secret Surge" that began before what we all call "the Surge".

As you will see in this video from Countdown with Keith Olbermann, McCain's counter insurgency strategy is to lead the media into his "death trap" by making sure no one can figure out what he his saying and so will be totally incapable of reporting it.

Watch it:

By the way, the McCain campaign canceled all the remaining press events of the day after this hastily arranged "cheese case" press availability.
