General Petraeus briefs the half that are listening..

Ole' Pecozbill sat here watching General Petraeus briefing the House Committee today on the improved situation in Iraq. Got the feelin' that with only a couple of exceptions, only half the room was listening or cared what he said. The rest seemed to be more immersed in preparing to skewer him (and through him - President Bush) when they get their chance to ask questions.

Bless his heart, he has to go through it all again tomorrow in the Senate. What a charade! The Lefties even arranged for several "Code Pink" ladies in pink uniforms to be present for demonstration purposes, so they could throw them out after the proper screamin' hissy fits.


Hard to understand how this country ever got to be the great land that it is!
What a contrast in Honor Codes:
General Petraeus - - DUTY - HONOR - COUNTRY!!

Elected Politicians - SELF - PARTY - CONGRESSIONAL PERKS!!

I watched a Fox News special live at 8PM last night amazed with the sharp "incident" trend line fall offs last month! Amazing work and the General held my attention, well done.
During a commercial I scanned the other networks, "fat march", rerun of "heros", and a rerun of "how I met your mother."
I felt sad for those without cable missing the terrific news. You guys are all American Heros, great job - thanks for having the courage to make "the push"!

I can see why the moveon folks are running scared, why let something as unimportant as the facts get in the way of their story? (sneer)
NBC, ABC & CBS obviously don't.
