Awaiting Petraeus: The reality check
Or how we were supposed to judge the "surge."
By Tim Grieve [2007-09-10]

  • "What political reconcilliation".

    I hope Salon and everyone else one screams about Petraeus never once mentioning 'political reconcilliation' in his opening remarks. It was his sole mandate for f#@!s sake!

    And Crocker?? Just another front office stooge: useless and powerless. But his Al-Qaeda horror stories were a nice Rovian touch--especially the one about the cuting off of fingers. Not as sensational as the incubator babies of olde, but he tried his best.

    This was all Petraeus's show.

    And as in 'The Jerk', the General seems to be dumbfounded by his surge's real 'special purpose'.

    Instead he did as he was told and wrote twos essays for his audience: one on "Iran, Iran and death to Iran" and "How Al-Queda ate Iraq".

    You think Petraeus as honorable as Congress did?

    Explain why he is giving an exclusive interview--to FOX.

    And, one last thing, does anyone doubt this Congress knew it would end up this way, all along?
