Yes. Something's up. And this is good.
They going to tell these Iraqiis that it's time for them to step up -- aka as "get off the pot".
And It Is. We are not going to be there forever, and the day we leave is a lot closer than the day we arrived. They better be ready to do somethng more in their parliment than discuss Moslem theology and argue about exactly how many virgins they DO get when they die.
They've got to start running Iraq.
Tony announced (and looking good!) as the New Press Secretary, with Rummy & Condi both making trips to Iraq.
I think I'm liking the shakeup in the W.H. so far with these two moves.
Tony's appointment for obvious reasons.
The two joint surprising trips? because it forces the MSM to report the advance in their government, as well as breaks up the monotony of single surprise visits. Both of them doing this at the same time is unusual and will momentarily cause people to pay attention.
