The next six months are critical

"The next six months are critical." How many times in the past few years have we heard that phrase…lots of times. Well, tomorrow we're to learn officially about the latest strategy for success in Iraq. Then again, most of that "new" strategy we've heard before from the mainstream media, as portions thereof have been discussed at length on nightly TV news, talk radio and the Internet. What most Americans will focus on regarding the President's words tomorrow night, will be any increases in troop deployments. I don't want to go through the various points of view on this matter, because no one really knows what's going to result. It all depends on how optimistic or pessimistic you are.
