The blog has been closed while the blogger spent three days in the mountains followed by three hours in the dentist's chair getting a root canal. I escaped in time to see Congressional chatmongers begin grilling General Petraeus and Iraqi ambassador Crocker about the situation in Iraq.
After 45 minutes of mind-numbing remarks I'm convinced we have a bigger problem in Washington than Baghdad. Petraeus deserves a Congressional Medal of Honor for sitting through the congresspersons' remarks. Talk about hot air. If there is indeed global warming, its home office is on the banks of the Potomac River. There should be a law against congress inviting people to answer questions and then spending all their time (and our money) making campaign speeches instead of asking questions that might actually need answering.
If anyone finds a congressperson who vows to run on a platform of keeping his or her mouth shut, let me know. I'll move to their district. Soon.

I think you are right. There has been a temperature spike the last couple of days.
Of course, I think I am giving in to the surrender position. I think we should withdraw immediately. I can't wait for that feeling of American pride when Bin Laden goes on TV all over the world and declares victory. He was obviously right about us when he said that after the Blackhawk Down episode he knew he would win because Americans cannot stand casualties. I think as he makes his victory speech we should sing a rousing round of Proud To Be An American. I am sure he will be very proud of us.
I think Bin Laden declars victory every day that goes by that the vast majority of U.S. military power is concentrated on stabilizong Iraq instead of finding the mastermind of 9/11. We should have thought of all the harm we could do, to ourselves and Iraq, before we rushed to war.
