How much credence should Gen. Petraeus' reports be given?

The source being depicted as the Objective Oracle on Iraq has a long history of extreme optimism about the progress we were making in the war.

    Obvious question

    WHEN Gen Pat comes back in Sept and give the old 'rosy picture' of progress, the obvious question would be:

    So now that things are going so well, when do we start to withdraw?

    The obvious conclusion of the WarMong set will be that we can't withdraw if we're winning.

    Bottom line,as always with these people, is that we can't leave if we're winning and we can't leave if we're not.

    Some problems have no solutions. This one does.

    IMPEACH, INDICT, CONVICT, IMPRISON.
