The reference is to this item from earlier in the week (courtesy of a gnostic):
Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA), who serves on the House Armed Services Committee, told "Hardball" fill-in host David Gregory that if the 'surge' has not yielded success in Iraq by August 2008, then "this president, and the Republican majority from the last Congress, we do have a 'Plan B,' but we're not going to give it to the enemy."
Could Plan B be a draft? The obvious answer to the question is, "with this administration, who knows?" Seriously, the answer should be no, but then most folks thought 6 months ago that we were getting the Baker plan. But in any event, we should be all over Mr. Gingrey and the apparently 'undead' 109th Congress about this little ploy.
We need to put immediate pressure on the repo's to answer the question: "Is Plan B the draft?" You see, I don't think they can give a good answer to this question. And without a very good answer, the american people may begin to wonder about this Plan B.
Gingrey's statement is predicated, of course, on the surge not working out by August 2008 (conveniently, the time of the democratic convention, I believe). More below
