THE CLOCK'S TICKING (AGAIN)

We are now on another Friedman Unit (© Atrios) in Iraq. There have been several of these in the past and they have all turned out to be false.


From the Senate Armed Services Committee, November 15, 2006:


REED: General Abizaid, how much time do you think we have to bring down the level of violence in Baghdad before we reach some type of tipping point where it accelerates beyond the control of even the Iraqi government?

ABIZAID: I think it needs to be brought down within the next several months.

REED: Ninety days, 60 days?

ABIZAID: Four to six months.
