So- what happens in September when Patraeus reports the surge is making an impact?
.

.
Because everyone here knows that no matter what the situation, there's a reason Patraeus was put in charge..



----And what are the odds that regardless of what's happening on the ground, we're in for some major (((SPINNING)))?



According to the interview that Capi888 posted on here (General Clark on Big Ed today), here's what Clark said:



"ED: General Clark if things won't improve by September this means that the Congress is going to have to go back and fund, continually fund these operations. Is that correct?

WES: Well, I think even if it does improve in Sept. the Congress is going to continue to have to fund the operations.



Does anyone think that Rove and the Republicans think they have the Democratic Congress just where they want them?

Or will the Democratic Congress be so prepared when they face Patraeus, that they'll have their own facts in hand ready to dispute the bogus scenerio he paints?

If Patreaus claims that it's working, is Clark right.. we'll need to continue to fund the surge?

Will we see this Harry?:

"Shit, they got me again!!..."

Or this Harry?:
-----------------------

Take your surge and shove it. No more funding!"

1. I have to believe that if that happens Congress will have to act aggressively.
If they don't all is lost.

As I said a couple of days ago, I think it's in the master plan of the Dem's to take the attack to the floor in September, I was nearly laughed off this board. But I'm sticking to my guns until proved otherwise once September comes.

3. LOL!
I won't laugh you off the board, but let me know if you're interested in a bridge I have for sale.

A leopard doesn't change it's spots. The Democrats will back away like cowards, just like they ALWAYS seem to do.
