Iraq is making “fragile but reversible” progress on security, but it’s too early to set dates to pull out all U.S. troops, the top U.S. military commander in Iraq told Congress on Tuesday. “

There has been “significant but uneven progress,” Petraeus said, but recent violence shows the progress is “fragile but reversible.” “

Is it just me, or does ol’ Dave sound like:

What the hell is Petraeus saying? Someone please enlighten me here. (I bet Bro Taguchi will.) Does Dave mean “inconstant” by “uneven”? I don’t know.

If it’s so fragile, how in the hell is it significant? I’d think that a significant improvement would imply stability.

To digress, I think this whole security problem rests on Paul Bremer. (Beyond the rest of Bushco.) He should not have dismissed Saddam’s forces after Baghdad was toppled. We should have paid off those dudes and made them cops. But noooooooooo. We sent em’ packing. Stupid.

Ok, back to Dave:

“This approach does not allow establishment of a set withdrawal timetable,” he said. “However, it does provide the flexibility those of us on the ground need to preserve the still fragile security gains our troopers have fought so hard and sacrificed so much to achieve.” “

John McCain loves this type of shit. (So does W) He’s going to put this quote in his pocket, and use it against Obama and Clinton. DUH. I still don’t know what the General is saying.
