Problem Solving with John McCain
Our presence in Iraq is fueling an insurgency that will continue whether we're there or not.
Naturally the best solution is to send in more troops, a surge if you will.
Surging can be applied to multiple problems, not just intractable quagmires.
Take traffic planning for example. Congested roads are a problem throughout the nation.
The obvious solution would be to rebuild the infrastructure to accommodate more traffic.
However, you send a surge of cars down the road to dislodge the traffic jam instead.
Surging can be used to cure world hunger by surging food down the throats of the hungry.
Finally, surging the airwaves and newspapers with a dumb idea makes it more palatable.
Being a POW doesn't necessarily make you a genius.
