Get the Number of That BUS!

I got whiplash!!!

Whoa!  Did I miss a memo?  Have I been sleepin’?  When did The Narrative change?

Have a sip of this:

But before long, the more honest among the surge opponents will concede that Bush, that supposed dolt, actually got one right. Some brave souls might even concede that if the U.S. had withdrawn in the depths of the chaos, the world would be in worse shape today.

...And now the cocksure surge opponents, drunk on their own vindication, will get to enjoy their season of humility. They have already gone through the stages of intellectual denial. First, they simply disbelieved that the surge and the Petraeus strategy was doing any good. Then they accused people who noticed progress in Iraq of duplicity and derangement. Then they acknowledged military, but not political, progress. Lately they have skipped over to the argument that Iraq is progressing so well that the U.S. forces can quickly come home.

Now add this little fizzy:

It does sound as though the campaign will announce a trip by Mr. Obama to Iraq within the next several days. ...The campaign said the trip would be a Congressional Delegation visit (CODEL), meaning it would be an official visit by a member of Congress (presumably paid for by taxpayers).

I think I have to have a nice lie down…
