      Amen sister Karen. I like the way you think.

      Watching this interview today in late 2008, I wish Charlie would have this same group back on to discuss how/why they were wrong in their speculation as to the effect of "the surge." I am thankful that those who saw a way to improve the situation were given the opportunity.
