I thought Petraus would be giving a progress update in September. By my calculation, that would require a minimum of 4 months funding. This is just another tactic to try and make sure the current effort doesn’t succeed. No matter how successful we are, they will claim it is a failure.
It sure is true. Funding 3 months late for two months. In July start again arguing for another 3 months for two months more of funding. Cleverly, they have only funded 2/3s of the emergency spending needed, dooming the operation.
