Feel the warmth!

"People are warming to the realization that some sort of surge is necessary," said another military official.

And he ain't talkin extra batteries, although that would be a good idea too! [Note: Get extra batteries.]

No, it's just a warmy-warmy time of year, Christmas, isn't it? Don't you feel it? All kind of nice and, I don't know, surgey?

I thought you could. And to think I was just reading only five minutes ago (wasn't I?) how the DOOFUS and the generals were "feuding," but now look - they're just all huggy and surgey and warm. Ain't that nice?

Everybody's all warm and huggy except, the Chicago Tribune says here, the grinchy Democrats, many of whom "favor a blue-ribbon commission's recommendation for a gradual withdrawal." And possibly some members of the late Iraq Study Group who are all grumpy about being demoted to just another faceless, nameless "blue-ribbon commission."

But hey, it's Christmas and it's all about the surge.
