Way back in time, about 2 or 3 months ago, GWB made it clear that the "surge" (poor choice of verbiage) was NOT an open-ended deal and that the date of reckoning was November '07.

It seems the Leftinistra have conveniently "forgotten" that one.

Welcome to Townhall.

We were told before that as the Iraqi troops stood up, we would stand down. However, we are now escalating (surging is not a military term.) Are the Iraqis seriously desirous of democracy? There is scant evidence that they are.

PS to Snooper: thanks for the welcome. Come back anytime, the welcome mat is out.

Go back and sell some travel guides or something and stop blogging on company time.

I am sure PGTravels would want to know.

How's the weather in NM? And how is your alter ego Halle doing?

In your honor, we are rebranding the business as P20G Travels, specializing in flights of fancy and delusional trips down offbeaten paths. This month's bus tour to the free market is filling quickly. On the last tour, one of our travellers was able to get 5 rugs for $5!

The fall weather is great! Halle and I are doing wonderfully; but, sometimes living in a split-level head gets a little cramped.

When we're in Texas in November maybe we should get together over some Wheat Grass Shakes. Our treat.
