White House in "Panic Mode" Over GOP Iraq War Defections; Seeks "Consensus" To Appease Wobbly Republicans

Someone has been suggesting for a while -- if phone calls and emails worked on our fainthearted Senators with regard to immigration, why not try it again for the war?

The surge is showing some definite signs of success -- not guaranteed success, of course -- and the plan was to wait for the September report from Petraeus. What on earth is the point of these jerkoffs screaming for timetables now -- which only undermine our effort in Iraq -- which will not take place, if enacted at all, until long after the surge report anyway?

Maybe it's time to start lighting up the switchboards again.

As Elliot Ness said in the Untouchables, after the DA tells him he won't risk embarrassment by bringing a weak case against Capone: "I've got men out there risking more than their reputations."
