How many Generals are there General?
As political theatre this one looks like a trap. Already the MSM have prepared us for the grilling that Obama and Clinton are going to give the General. Will Pertreaus score a few sympathy points? Senator I'm just a country boy doing the hard job the Commander in Chief has given me. Maybe you should take it up with him (SURRENDER MONKEY!!)...
So you're absolutely right, both sides will probably call it a draw. The Presidential candidates will settle for a couple of sound bites. We shouldn't assume that just because the hearings show nothing of substance that nothing is going on behind the scenes. The hearings with the Federal Reserve board failed to produce tough questions on what the Fed was doing when it bailed out Bear Sterns, byt after the hearing Barney Frank laid the foundation for a deeper inquiry.
The real issue is whether there is a bigger trap, a premeditated attack on Iran. The rumor mills, Russian Intel, etc. are all saying so, but they have said it before. The point to be made at these hearings, is whether the General is a political lackey of the President. How many Generals have there been General? Is that normal?
