#1 Wait, wait, wait a minute; we will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. This will not stand. It does not fit with our agenda.

#3 Late September, Fred? Might be hard to keep this one from visibility, tho I don't doubt that there are congressional leaders who'd like to.

The situation here remains dynamic and fluid. The surge in operations is achieving tactical momentum. The political and legislative progress is still lagging. We know that many eyes are on September when Ambassador Crocker and GEN Petraeus provide an assessment to Congress. -- sent recently by an O6 in the Iraq theater.

Sums up what we all here know.

#4 The Democratic base has been furious that Democrats in Congress haven't pulled the plug on the war already, and Democratic strategists have been anticipating big electoral gains from military defeat

Who in the hell is the democrat base that they wish failure for Iraq and court defeat for the efforts of our military? These people should be put against the wall for such treachery.
