Pelosi Nails It

OK, I know what Nancy Pelosi said was obvious, but at least a prominent Democrat is saying it:

When top Democratic leaders visited him at the White House this week, President Bush told them he wanted to “find common ground” on Iraq. But when the president said he planned to “start doing some redeployment,” the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, cut him off.

“No you’re not, Mr. President,” Ms. Pelosi interjected. “You’re just going back to the presurge level.”
What I like about this whole redeployment deal is that the "Surge" troops would have to be out by April 2008 anyway:

[S]enior military leaders -- including Adm. Michael Mullen, incoming chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff -- have acknowledged that the "surge" effectively will end in April because there are no fresh replacements.
Interestingly enough, I've noticed that a lot of folks in the Corporate Media aren't buying into BushCo's "redeployment" bullshit either, which is good.
