Crystal Ball...of fire

I do not usually take to visionary experiences. They tend to be so unsettling. I can guarantee you that nothing will upset your day half as much as a prescient glimpse into the near term future. O.K. Surge is the masterstroke. 6 months lull of critical faculties to assess the effect on Baghdad. Meanwhile, countryside builds for a re-play of Afghanistan vs. godless Soviets. Then, everything begins to fall apart. By the end of 2007, Impeachment has become a real issue. ( present probability = 20% or 1 in 5, so it will remain a possibility) By next Christmas at this time, Bill O'Reilly and Ann Coulter will be little more than ornaments on a dry-needled tree. However, the ones that will suffer are us.
