Just following some of the statement that Gen Petraeus is offering to Congress. How he wants to stop the process of troop reductions and "reevaluate" the process.
Dude is a total tool of the Bush administration. He is not capable of independent thought. The whole thing is a disgusting sham. The American military deserves to be represented by someone who is not a Bush hand puppet.

Funny how all the Dems voted for him to be the Commander. Just because he will not wave the white flag of surrender, libs show their support for him the only way they can

Attack and smear

with the increase of violence with the cease-fire ending and starting and then ending again, why would it make sense to send more troops home? that is just strategy... not, "Derrr...we're fighting more, so i think we should send ppl home". that just don't make any sense Gabs.

you're basically just bashing him becasue he isn't saying "Oh God we need to pull out now" which, we probably should start to do since it's apprent that no matter how much we build the gov up they can never handle the country and all the crazies.

Why did we need this elaborate sham of Petraeus "issuing" a report? Why didn't Bush's press secretary issue the report? Since the Bushies obviously wrote and approved of it.
Petraeus is little more than a Bush toadie.

Public Law 110-28 specifes that "the President, having consulted with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Commander, Multi-National Forces-Iraq, the United States Ambassador to Iraq, and the Commander of U.S. Central Command, will prepare the report and submit the report to Congress."

Again, since he is not waving the white flag, you attack and smear him.

Your deep analysis of the situation is staggering. Perhaps you could explain what exactly makes him a tool simply because he says something you don't like.

Libs screamed for more troops right up the exact moment Pres Bush said he would send in more troops

Then libs wanted to surrender, and they have never retreated from that stance

I constant I notice in almost all right-wing bitches about ending the Iraq war is the notion of "surrender."
Ending the war has nothing to do with surrender. It's about admitting that our country made a mistake and taking steps to rectify it. Dubya totally fucked up when he invaded Iraq. It was a decision made of vengeance and hostility towards a personal enemy.
Another argument made about withdrawal it that is will "cause chaos and bloodshed." WTF do you think is going on? Iraq is already in a state of civil war. There will be mass chaos and bloodshed whether we are there or not.
Right now, Americans are dying on a daily basis. Bring our troops home and the only bloodshed will be among the remaining combatants.
Those who support the continuation of hostilities (like McCain and his ilk) support the continued slaughter of American lives. The blood will be on your hands.
If you enjoy the carnage, vote for McCain. If you support the end of American involvement, vote for the other candidate.

No surprise here. Hillary and Obama want to surrender, and John McCain wants to win



Candidates Stay on Message
At Iraq-War Hearings
Democrats Jump On McCain's Praise Of Current Strategy

By ELIZABETH HOLMES
April 9, 2008; Page A8

WASHINGTON -- The three presidential candidates kept on message Tuesday as their campaigns swerved to Capitol Hill for hearings on the Iraq war, a major topic among voters in the 2008 elections.

Republican Sen. John McCain continued his support of the war and warned of "failure" with an early exit. Democratic Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama reiterated their pushes for a troop withdrawal and highlighted the high costs of the war.

Of the three, Sen. Obama had the toughest words for Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker. The Illinois senator asked the pair "to harden the metrics" by which success is defined. "I'm trying to get to an endpoint," Sen. Obama said.

Sen. Clinton was more cautious. The closest she came to asking for a withdrawal date was an inquiry about what conditions Gen. Petraeus would want to see before recommending a change in strategy.

Both Democrats jumped on Sen. McCain's remarks praising the current strategy and condemning an early exit. The Arizona senator used some of his harshest criticism to date about proponents of early withdrawal, saying withdrawal now would "constitute a failure of political and moral leadership."

"I fundamentally disagree," Sen. Clinton said several hours later, calling it "irresponsible to continue the policy that has not produced results."

First, I still cant help but notice you still havent supported your original post with any sort of cogent argument.

Second, we are fighting a global war on terror. The battle of Iraq will be over soon. Why the hell should we tell the family of all the soldiers that their soldier died in vain just so you can continue to claim Iraq was a mistake? Our troops and the Iraqis are joining to fight for freedom. But that's a mistake? Maybe if Iraq succeeds in getting its free government, it will rub off back home. But then that's the real problem you have isnt it? You're scared that people in the United States will want to be free too and we might actually apply the Constitution.
