GOP Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain lives by the old adage that if you say it often enough eventually people will believe you are telling the truth.
Not necessarily so especially when it comes to the so-called success of "the surge" as witnessed by this report.

Take a look at this video, showing the Rave 450s incredible rotor speed. The Rave 450 sports a carbon fiber fuselage, tube driven tail, and an all metal head. We look forward to learning more about this exciting new RC helicopter.This looks like a very promising RC airplane, but we couldn’t find any technical specifications on the manufacturers website. They will be releasing more details about the Rave 450 in early to mid summer. It is a flashlight that gives up to seven hours of light on a daily solar recharge and can last nearly three years between replacements of three AA batteries. The lightweight, water- and shock-resistant led light flashlight can transform 10 hours of sunshine into six hours of night light. Earlier this year, Washington state Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson, a Democrat, tried to ban the sale of violent games. While the courts continually have struck down these types of initiatives, both state and national politicians continue looking for ways to regulate the video-game industry.
Sharrah said the Vantage features a light intensity of up to 4,500 candela (peak central intensity) and 80 lumens total system output for six hours of continuous runtime to the 10% output level. The light's textured parabolic reflector produces a smooth beam hotspot with optimum side illumination to aid in navigation. It includes a 470 nanometer Ultra-bright blue tail light led flashlights with a 100,000 hour lifetime. It uses two 3-volt CR123A lithium batteries, and is operated using a dual direction, On-Off switch located at the rear of the light which can be operated even with heavy gloves. The Vantage weighs a mere 5.14 ounces.
