More fly paper, more Friedman Units

I'm trying to think of some intelligent comment to make about the incomprehensible Senate minority leader, or at least something snarky about his remarks in an interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace. But I got nothing.

WALLACE: So you really think September is about the point at which members' patience will wear out?

BOEHNER: Well, I think this fall, people are going to want to assess how well is the plan working. Are there changes necessary.

And I think the Bush administration on a monthly basis will be looking at how is the plan working, are there changes necessary to the plan.

At the end of the day, Chris, Iraq is not about a civil war. Iraq is about Al Qaeda and 76 other terrorist groups operating there, and all of their effort is aimed at defeating the United States.

Earlier on your program, you had - Senator Dodd talked about this being a civil war. It is not a civil war. There is some sectarian violence between the Sunni and Shia, most of it being stirred up by the Iranians.

But it's Al Qaeda and their affiliates who have made Iraq the central front in their war with us. And we have to remember they started this, not us.

And if we don't take on Al Qaeda there, in Iraq, where do we take on Al Qaeda? Where do we take on radical Islam who is hellbent on killing Americans and our allies?

It's amazing. I had forgotten how we'd passively found ourselves in Iraq only to have al Qaeda start a war with us there.
