And the tooth fairy will help them pack.

On January 11, 2007, we were given this bit of wisdom:

HARRY SMITH (host): The first of the new troops are already standing by, waiting to go to Iraq. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin has details.

MARTIN: The surge of more than 20,000 troops means some units already in Iraq will have their tours of duty extended, while some back in the States will have to ship out earlier than planned. The president has ordered similar build-ups before to protect Iraqis going to the polls. But this time, he says, their mission will be different. [...]

MARTIN: The president did not predict how long the surge
will last, but Pentagon officials say if this new strategy works they should be able to begin withdrawing troops from the streets of Baghdad in about six months. [ie: TODAY]

From the January 11 edition of CBS' The Early Show

In six months maybe we will have another plan that will not work for the next six months, as Bush keeps on kicking the can.
