#1 Okay !! -- Now what are Nancy and Harry gonna do, when Gen Patreaus holds up these signed "peace treaties" in front of Congress? And I can just see, a great PowerPoint presentation, showing the signing!!!

His aides flash more and more and more signings. They are now getting signings. Visual images.

Yea... cause, these signings of a treaty, regardless of the contract, are Iraqis talking and signing with Iraqis. Just what Patraeus knows, Iraqis and Congress need to see.

Call them "peace agreements." They've always been a part of history. Small ones and large ones. Gernomoe even signed one.

And check out the date.... July.... long before the month of September. I predict, there will be more. Patraeus, presenting us with a visual picture of the dominoes falling.

Hehe.... I've envision, Patraeus, with all his military bearing, his confidence and his trust both for his warriors and his warriors for him, appearing before Congress.

A screen writer's dream. He, with his back straight, shoulders back, head up, chin out, a soldier's stance for him, presenting to Congress, number by number, point by point, picture by picture, of the changes in Iraq. Presenting in such a way, there is just silence when he finishes, cause, there is nothing left to say. Our guys are winning.

I read this today in comments at a milblog, "They say that, in wartime, all the real leaders rise to the top and the "peacetime" leaders leave. I've been waiting around for awhile... maybe this war is finally starting to have that effect as well."

#2 I have a comment. If using Google's spell check and you choose EDIT to edit a word, cause your spelling hasn't even been close to the correct spelling, so even Google can't give my spelling a fighting chance with anything near the correct spelling of the word I've chosen to use.

So, it is left, to edit the word. The only way out of that Google edit with what you hope is something closer to the correct spelling so you have some help with the spelling, is to press ENTER and when you do? Your Rantburg comment is posted......

I haven't the vaguest idea how to spell Geronimo.... so I'm letting this comment post solve that mystery!

#3 You can tell the "surge" is working by all the Congressional weenies that want to change direction NOW! My God, Bush is going to win this thing. We can't - we mustn't - we have to stop that NOW. [While our poll numbers are a mandate from the looney left].
