Singing in the Rain would be more apropos
No matter what General Petraeus' report shows, Bush is going to put spin on it, of course; knowing his boss needs this, Petraeus himself, like any dutiful subordinate, will customize the report to give Bush what he wants. After all, Petraeus doesn't answer to Congress, just the Commander-in-Chief, and so his career depends on whether his boss likes it. Bush knows this, so as BB has predicted, Bush thinks he'll have something to sing about - and he's likely correct, as inaccurate as the report will likely be. After all, Westmoreland never complained about the conduct of the war out loud; he just kept asking for more troops, didn't he?
