NOW the game begins?

Game time?

Vice President Dick Cheney made an unannounced visit to Baghdad today, meeting with Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and other Iraqi leaders to pressure them to show more progress in quelling violence in Iraq, and to do so quickly.

The vice president was greeted by Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, upon his arrival.

According to a senior administration official traveling with Mr. Cheney, the message the vice president took to Iraq was: “We’ve all got challenges together. We’ve got to pull together. We’ve got to get this work done. It’s game time.”

So now we finally know what 3,381 US troops have died for: warmups. For over four years, Bush and Cheney were just practicing, but now they’re serious. Really, really, truly, madly, deeply, no-fingers-crossed serious.

On his next visit, he’ll mean it even more.
