The surge has already begun.
It appears Ted Kennedy is a bit behind the curve, as usual.
Some advance units in the coming surge have already arrived, with more to follow, soon.
BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 10, 2007 — President Bush's speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in Iraq is already under way.
ABC News has learned that the "surge" Bush is expected to announce in a prime time speech tonight has already begun. Ninety advance troops from the 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Baghdad Wednesday.
An additional battalion of roughly 800 troops from the same division are expected to arrive in Baghdad Thursday. Eighty percent of the sectarian violence occurs within a 30-mile radius of Baghdad, so that is where most of the additional troops will be concentrated.
Your leader can surge all he wants. Unfortunately for him, the funding for his Vietnam is about to get cut off.

The bullshit and empty rhetoric will now come from the Democrats. I'm anxious to see how they use the word "is"
