Rice: Wait 'Til Fall for Iraq decision
By PAULINE JELINEK, Associated Press Writer Fri Jul 13, 1:03 PM ET


WASHINGTON - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice exhorted congressional critics of Iraq war policy Friday to give the Bush administration and the fledgling government in Baghdad until September to "make a coherent judgment of where we are."



--------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW, I REALIZE THAT SEPTEMBER IS THE TIME FOR THE NEXT REPORT ON IRAQI PROGRESS, BUT I THINK IT IS INTERESTING THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS REPEATEDLY HARPING ON THIS SEPTEMBER THING. WHY NOT OCTOBER OR DECEMBER? COULD IT BE THAT THEY KNOW SOMETHING ECONOMICALLY GOOD FOR THE IRAQI PEOPLE IS COMING BEFORE SEPTEMBER AND, IN ACCORDANCE WITH BUSH'S STATEMENT THAT ECONOMIC STABILITY WILL BRING ABOUT POLITICAL STABILITY, THEY WANT TO ALLOW A MONTH OF THE IRAQI PEOPLE LIVING IN PROSPERITY RATHER THAN ABJECT POVERTY TO SEE WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT WILL MAKE IN THE WAR? COULD THESE CALLS FOR WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER BE OUR CLUE THAT A R/V IS EMMINENT BEFORE AUGUST?

Could just be that they know sooner or later GWB's veto power is going to get trumped. And sorry nothing written there says GW or Rice believe anything about an RV.

September has always been the time to evaluate the surge. That is why everyone is clinging to it.
