Iraqi Groundhog Day Predictions
1. We will, of course, vote more money, at least until the end of Bush-Cheney's term.
2. The intelligence services will quickly square-away the apparent discrepancy that Petreaus clearly didn't like, namely that rolling-back AQI in Iraq is not a "win" in the overall "GWOT".
3. Cheney and company (Newt?) will be on the horn shortly to remind everyone that no deal is possible with Iran; that "success" is not what Obama said, but "sustain itself, defend itself, etc."; that American Victory in the third campaign is possible, except for defeatists. King George himself will quickly reaffirm what Rick's calls the "revolutionary" goals for Iraq, before anyone decides to define-down success.
