Americans poll positive on surging in Afghanistan. Why would that be? Because most Americans have dealt with moles, ant-hills, head lice, or some other kind of nasty infestation. The bugs die when they are 1. exterminated and 2. the environment is cleaned up.

Libs hate George W. Bush for his warmongering ways. They're giving Barack Obama a hypocritical pass. But Bush knew that this two pronged approach is necessary to rid of pests...especially murderous pests. Killing them works, but making the environment clean so that bugs don't grow is important for prevention.

Americans have stayed amazingly consistent: Kill the bugs. Clean the house. This is just common sense.
