Do you honestly think that this meeting would have become public knowledge if wasn't supposed to? Do you honestly think that congresspeople can barge into Georgie's office any time they want, especially to give him what amounts to an intervention?

Georgie has to blink on the Iraq occupation funding, and to be appear to be willing to work with Congress, which will hopefully make the public happier. So in the spirit of compromise, he's offering to accept benchmarks rather than timetables. But the fact that the the Reps demanded results by September is the tipoff that this is just another media manipulation scam.

Why September? Why not June? Because a certain oil revenue-sharing bill will have been passed by the Iraqi government by then? (That would explain why Cheney took the trouble of informing them in person that he doesn't want them to take a two-month vacation!) And how much more work needs to be done on the fourteen permanent military bases and the embassy the size of the Vactican? Will they be completed by September as well?

Rove is just pretending to be angry that the meeting became public knowledge--and gosh darn it, THAT has become public knowledge, too!
