Got surge?

More surge may be on the way. So says Peter Pace, JCS chair. Here's Howie Klein:

While Harry Reid has the cots brought into the Senate for a one night demonstration of Republican obstructionism that is likely to go nowhere and while Pelosi still insists that impeachment -- clearly the only way out of Iraq -- is still off the table, and while George Voinovich who still hasn't been able to muster the balls Olympia Snowe has in voting against the Bush Iraq agenda of endless war -- warns Rove that Bush's legacy may be in trouble if he doesn't withdraw from Iraq (actually saying Bush "fucked up the war"), Peter Pace sent up a trial balloon today for the Regime saying that they plan on escalating the war even further. Like who didn't see that coming?

Well put.

The Bush motto: If at first you don't succeed, fuck up again and again and again.
