What say you now, Lindsay Graham?

[Cant trust em]

I remember watching ol' Lindsay on Fox News Sunday a few months ago. He was talking about how fucking awesome the surge was and how it was buying time for the political process. Here's what he had to say about timelines.

"But the four major benchmarks — I predict and hope very much that by January of 2008, the de-Baathification law, which will allow Sunnis to come back into the government and have jobs, to be a full partner in Iraq, will be passed. I was told that by Maliki, by Abdul Mahdi, a Shia vice president. I expect that to happen.

The surge was necessary to bring about the conditions for political reconciliation. I think we're on track at the national level.

Local reconciliation is very robust at the local level. I think it will migrate to the national level. If it doesn't in January, then I will be very disappointed, sit down with Carl and see what we can do on the political side to push them."

How'd that meeting go, Lindsay; or is this another excuse to draw this conflict out?
