"Many of my Republican colleagues have been promised they will get a straight story on the surge by September," said Sen. Gordon Smith (R-Ore.). "I won't be the only Republican, or one of two Republicans, demanding a change in our disposition of troops in Iraq at that point. That is very clear to me."
"September is the key," said Rep. James P. Moran Jr. (D-Va.), a member of the House Appropriations subcommittee that funds defense. "If we don't see a light at the end of the tunnel, September is going to be a very bleak month for this administration."
The Republicans are falling apart. They are staring at the fact that the leader of their party has screwed up like nobody since Buchanan, and people are furious, and he's tied around their neck like an dead albatross. If Iraq hasn't changed by September, expect the wheels to finally fall off this whole stinking mess.
