September
Would be hilarious if it weren't tragic. This is my emerging view of the occupation of Iraq (which I will no longer dignify by calling it a "war").
Watch the parade of pundits, experts, and public servants in this video, and despair (or laugh):

Here's my prediction for What Will Change in September: I'm expecting the rollout of a brand new set of cliches and catchphrases from the White House and Pentagon, plus denial that we every had a "surge" in the first place, let alone any expectations that it would do any good.
In Iraq: no change.

What was the latest? Petraeous saying that it doesn't look Iraq will have stabilized by September, so we can't withdraw?
Let's see:
If the surge succeeds in quelling violence, we can't leave, because clearly violence would escalate.
If the surge fails stabilize the country, we can't leave, because the test is where Iraq has been stabilized.
And if in three months Iraq has a stable, democratic government, then there is no reason to leave; in fact we need to help maintain the peace.
