TPMDC wrote earlier that Obama administration officials seemed quite comfortable with the term "surge" that was used to characterize President George W. Bush's increase in troops to Iraq.

Tonight, President Obama did not use the term surge as he detailed the 30,000 more troops he will send to Afghanistan.
