Hilarious blooper on NPR confuses "surge" with "siege".

Neal Conan is on NPR in the lead-up to Petraeus' and Crocker's testimony before the House. He got a bit flustered and referred to "the surge" as "the siege".

Ironic. I am laughing.

1. Really, was it a blooper?

Or was it a Freudian Slip?

2. Good question....

Only Conan can figure that one out.

3. Follow Up: Who Is Besieged, and Who Is the Attacker?

Looks to me like the US is besieged, frankly.
