"...It's a long, long time...

...from May to December..." but it's a longer time from May to April, forget about September.

Salon.com is reporting (actually, the source is the Washington Post) that Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, who "runs" Iraq on a day-to-day basis, wants to continue the surge until April, 2008.

So, when all these congressional members of the Republican party, senators and representatives, talk about a re-evaluation of the surge and of Iraqi policies in September, 2007, what do they mean?

More of the same?

Is the May talk about a September hard look merely a red herring dragged across the trail of continued carnage until next April?

Trust, but verify.
