MATLOCK!!!

If you face reality in Iraq you are a partisan, but if you predict the ever "soon to emerge" pony you are David Broder's dream-date.

And if that happens to be Lindsay Graham, well that just may actually be doable.

Here's Broder's "oh so serious" Lindsay Graham about a week ago:

Within the next weeks, not months, there will be a major breakthrough on the benchmarks regarding political reconciliation. And after the last two weeks of being a reservist, you could see Sunnis and Shia and Kurds taking a second look at Iraq.

Of course since then, the Oil deal has collapsed (thanks Bush supporter); and there has yet been another pull out of Al Sadr's bloc from the Maliki Government.

I think the "through" is missing from the "break".
