Petraeus Hearing

Overwatch!

 

Cyberspace!

Initiatives!

Geometry!

 

He just threw out the "Iran is a major problem" line. Cheney smiles.

 

He just said that it's impossible to predict what will happen in the future. For example, the happy news about Anbar.

Pink protesters.

 

I didn't know Fenian was a woman. You look good in pink, though.

Well, hell, since the general has demonstrated his fealty -- going back to his suspiciously well-timed 2004 pre-election Op-ed, in which he said we'd turned the corner THEN -- to the White House and its new spinmeister, Enron Ed Gillespie, who now has wired himself into the Pentagon news operation, and has already appeared on radio with partisan hack Hugh Hewitt, and will this afternoon give an hour to a television propaganda network, and since the general's numbers were massaged by the spin operation in question, and since there really isn't any "report" at all, and since this administration squandered every ounce of its credibility on this topic a year ago, and since the GAO report and a couple of others have demonstrated that the conclusions derived from those well-massaged numbers are dubious at best, I don't know where Lantos gets off, myself.

 

Federalism budding!

Reconciliation seeded!

Iraq, the Victory Garden of Liberty!

 

It's only a matter of time.

 

"Resource" as a verb! We've turned the corner!

 

We've made Iraq safe for MBA-speak.
Whoo-hoo!
