Here’s a sort of revealing exchange from earlier today between Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell and pro-surge Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). Graham repeatedly tries to nudge McConnell into signing on to various GOP talking points about Iraq and the War on Terror. And McConnell keeps saying, well … no, not really. But Graham keeps pushing and eventually McConnell gets the message and signs on to the catechism.
It’s not hard to imagine a lot of behind-closed-doors exchanges along these lines …
And I thought we were withdrawing to Kurdistan, not Kuwait. Is that the new plan?
