Picture of the Day - 2

















So here's the sequence:

1) George Bush says we can "withdraw troops" if security is better.

2) Petraeus "recommends" to "withdraw troops" because he has to.

3) The surge was a success.

(Footnotes: "Withdrawing troops" simply means ending the surge as planned. Restrictions on the Army require an end to the surge.)

  • Soon to follow "the surge" will be "the push," or "The Surge II."

  • How about "Forward Together III - The Reckoning?"

  • So Petraeus can say 'the surge is working' and be on The Decider's good side, or he can tell the truth and kiss a long Army career bye-bye.

    I hope he'll say what's obvious to a kindergartener.

    But I think he'll just be reading what's fed to him.

  • They're going to chew up Petraeus and his credibility the same way the chewed up Powell.
