This should be worth an extra star

Regardless of the result. This being the keen analytical mind of Lt Gen Odierno, the new American operational commander in Iraq. Showcasing his quickness in understanding the central point of a problem, the general stated
that even with the additional American troops likely to be deployed in Baghdad under President Bush’s new war strategy it might take another “two or three years” for American and Iraqi forces to gain the upper hand in the war.
Which would nicely fit Our Dear Embattled Leader's timetable for giving the whole mess to his successor. And to show the same steely grasp of reality that his Commander In Chief he also atated
“I believe the American people, if they feel we are making progress, they will have the patience,” he said. But right now, he added, “I think the frustration is that they think we are not making progress.”
It's too bad that ODEL only has 2 years left, this guy could be a real good JCS chairman.
