For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: General Petraeus goes to Washington (picture courtesy AP):

Gen. David Petraeus planned to testify Tuesday on the war for the first time in seven months. He was expected to tell two Senate committees that last year's influx of 30,000 troops in Iraq had helped calm some of the sectarian violence but that to prevent a backslide in security, troops would likely be needed in large numbers through the end of the year.

How do you expect his testimony to go this time? How will he be treated by Democrats? How will media report the event?

Finally, congratulations to the Jayhawks. What an amazing game last night, wouldn't you agree?
