Surge started in 2006, 2007, 2008... eh, who cares.
Sunni (or is that Shia?) Awakening assisted by the (8 or so months in the future) surge.
Or, maybe it was a suuuuper-sekrit mini-serge that was the help? Yeah, that's it, 'cause I had words with the general.
First major conflict after 9/11 - guess Afghanistan's jess too puny a country to be botherin' noting. (Wait, just realized - maybe he's of the mind that we "preventively" went into Afghanistan b4 9/11? (Didn't work so well then, did it?)
No, biggies, these, though, huh. Much more interesting to discuss flag pins...

You know the sheikh McCain made it a point to tell us the surge was protecting so the Anbar Awakening could take place?
He was assassinated last year at the height of the surge. McCain lamented the fact then, but forgot it earlier this week, I suppose.
