Lots of reaction to my commentary on the situation in Iraq. (See the original story here.)

I said I was tired of hearing the Republican mantra about how the surge in Iraq has been a success.

I’m more interested in hearing how we're supposed to actually win that war and get out of Iraq.

Reinaldo Correa writes: "Who says the surge worked? The free people of Iraq do."

Rodney Brett: "The surge did work. You seem to say that the surge should by now result in electricity, water, etc. This is a huge task that we are doing over there. Much bigger than your side of aisle can ever imagine."

Karen Fantz: "How do you know for sure that the surge hasn't worked? You (should) go over there and then come back and complain."

Shirley Stephenson: "Asking someone to put a 'term limit' on a war is like telling nature when (it should) rain in Seattle."

Jan Northey: "You are a liberal idiot."

Douglas Krantz: "I’m tired of people thinking they know more than our military commanders on the ground. I’m tired of the message from Democrats that leaving Iraq helpless and hopeless is a good idea."

And finally, Colin Sweeney: "With the possible exception of your immediate family, nobody cares what you think."

Well Colin, there are times when even they don't care what I think.

Thanks for writing everyone.

I hope you have a good weekend.
