HH: Last night, for example, Senator McCain went after you for using the word apparently. Your reaction to that?

MR: Well, obviously, he made a big point out of using the word apparently. That’s very simple for me, which is that before I’m going to make a final analysis or a final statement on the extent of the success on the surge, I’m going to wait for the report from Petraeus and Crocker. I’ve said all along that I wouldn’t prejudge this, but that we’d hear from them, and we’re going to hear that in a matter of weeks. All the signs are that the surge is working. There are some areas, obviously, of disappointment. But the surge is, at this stage, on a track of success, and I hope we’re able to, as a result of that success, at some point, begin to pull down our troop strength, not before we’ve accomplished the effort that we’ve undertaken.
