Just In Case You Were Getting Excited

The GAO report does not matter. It does not matter because the Republicans will say it does not matter and the Democrats will not have the balls (sorry for the coarse language, but this war! darn it) to bring it up when Patraeus is telling everyone that progress is being made and we need more time.

Just to be clear: an independent government agency, charged with investigating progress in Iraq, has just reported that there is little to no progress and that the surge is not working. This does not matter.

General Patraeus, reading a script written by the White House, will say that progress is being made, but offer absolutely no specifics. This is all that matters.

Put that brain away, you won't be needing it anytime soon.
