#1 Marine Gen. Peter Pace revealed that he and the chiefs of the Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force are developing their own assessment of the situation in Iraq, to be presented to Bush in September.

Nice end run around Reid and Pelosi's spin. No way they, and the press, can dismiss the credibility of the JCS. It's a quagmire Nancy. Retreat to the loving arms of the Tenderloin.

I'm sure they'll find a way.

#3 My analysis is that the Generals are simply trying to counteract the cut-and-run propoganda with the exact opposite to keep the bad guys guessing.

I also believe our lefties will flip and undo any possible gain from such a rhetorical war.

The surge is working and the only thing that can make it fail is if the politicians continue to give the bad guys hope.

#4 As in all things political, set aside the rhetoric and look at the actions.

If the surge wasn't working, would the Congressional Dems be putting on an all-night show?
