It seems that while I was blogging about Sen. Levin's comments, his traveling companion Sen. Warner decided to twist the knife some more into the Maliki government by urging the start of a US pullout by Christmas.
You'll notice that Warner's statement was very carefully crafted. It is meant to put pressure on the Maliki government to produce results while not really committing the US government to much. Note that the first surge troops are meant to redeploy (i.e., leave) in March-April.
Well played, Senator. Let's see how the Iraqis react.
