DEBATE REALITY CHECK: MCLELLAN ISN'T MCKIERNAN

October 02, 2008

Tonight, Sarah Palin said: “First McClellan did not say definitively that the surge principles would not work in Afghanistan. Certain accounting for different conditions in that country and conditions are certainly different.” [Vice Presidential Debate, 10/2/08]


The Facts: It’s Not McClellan, Its McKiernan, And That’s Not What He Said About The Surge

McKiernan, Not McClellan. Army Gen. David D. McKiernan (Not McClennan) is commander of the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force Said: “The word I don’t use for Afghanistan is ’surge,’ ” McKiernan stressed, saying that what is required is a “sustained commitment” to a counterinsurgency effort that could last many years and would ultimately require a political, not military, solution.
