anyhow,

petraeus has said this morning that if by march 2008 things have not improved, he would be hard-pressed to recommend continuing the surge. time will tell if there is an improvement. i hope to god there is.

but if not, what is going to happen? adm. fallon and the internal body of pentagon experts, most likely, will start working over-time on this set of alternate plans, and with any luck it will NOT be an investment in failure.
