    Petraeus: I Need Another Six Months To Determine Whether ‘We’ve Reached A Turning Point’

    January 22, 2008

    "We think we won’t know that we’ve reached a turning point until we’re six months past it. We have repeatedly said that there is no lights at the end of the tunnel that we’re seeing. We’re certainly not dancing in the end zone or anything like that."

    sigh....
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    I wish they could be honest, and just ask us to give them until January 20, 2009, so they can hand off Bush's mess to the next president to try to fix.

    Well.... People are dying less frequently. That's a win! Six more months to be sure then we can start thinking about a plan to begin the last move towards working on planning to pull back into our bases in Iraq....
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

    LOL. He's already declared that the surge has been victorious. I guess he doesn't need to listen to the General in charge of the whole thing.

    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    Yeah and in six more months he is going to need another 6 months and then another 6 and another and another. Until 1000 years have gone by just like President McCain said.
