Six more months, six more months...
General David Petraeus,interviewed for NBC's Today Show yesterday, said, when asked about the progress of the Surge and whether troops could be withdrawn, “We think we won’t know that we’ve reached a turning point until we’re six months past it.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.”
If this sounds like, as Yogi Berra would say, "deja vu all over again", it’s because Petraeus, in front of Congress in September, stated, “decisions on the contentious issue of reducing the main body of the American troops in Iraq be put off for six months.”
