(NYTIMES) -- BAGHDAD, Oct. 22 — After three years of trying to thwart a potent insurgency and tamp down the deadly violence in Iraq, the American military is playing its last hand: the Baghdad security plan.
OK, they're still working on it. "Tweaking," in fact. And, OK, they already have a plan, called Together Forward II, which hasn't produced a while lot of together forwarding (it's the "together" part, apparently, that's the hangup). And I suppose, well, if you want to get picky about it, the II in there might mean there was a Together Forward I. Once. But so what? That's not the point. The point is, they're working on a plan. Which they will "play." As soon as they get it "tweaked." And, presumably, give it a name. Which - right, this is just a guess here - I'm thinking probably won't involve a III. So there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Oh wait. That was another war. I get confused.
