I have never seen a more contemptious headline than this one. Words cannot express the disgust I feel toward the UK right now.

That is disgusting.

And besides, everyone knows that General Betray-us is John Murtha.

(Not to toot a little bit, but I did post that here a month or so ago. Scummy trolls, they are.)

This is not news, it’s not even an proper editorial or opinion piece... it’s sheer and squeaky slanderous propaganda.

What you can say of liberals is their hatred of the military comes through loud and clear. I hope they keep it up.

Remind me again why we saved Europe’s bacon in WWI, WWII and the cold war? Somebody?

Only Leftists and especially US-hating UK leftists want to pre-doubt the General’s report before it is written.

I’m wondering what the spread would be if they polled only registered voters...and THEN after they hear what the general has to say in September.

Could the surge be working SO MUCH that the UK newspapers are like Hilter in the bunker?

They are so shrill!

Good point. This was a Media drive by shooting. They are fearful and want to make sure that the general mood is jaded and cynical. Hope and confidence are words that do not exist in the liberal lexicon. F’em all

Critics, including one recently retired general, are privately calling him “General Betraeus” on the grounds that he is too ambitious to deliver a balanced report on the war.

Perhaps a non-political, unambitious bloke like Wesley Clark.

What a bunch of .... I can’t think of anything bad enough to say about people like the author of this piece that wouldn’t go against everything I believe is permissible to say in a public forum.

We don’t want or need a ‘balanced’ report. We want and need honest, accurate one.

As long as we are nominating candidates for the "Benedict Arnold" award, let us not forget Wes Clark. In the category of politically motivated smarmy butt boy is without equal.

As I commented on the UK Times website for this article, “Ms. Baxter’s drone of defeatism is becoming quite droll.”

This article is absolutely breathtaking. The MSM just keeps getting more appalling each day. I didn’t know that was even possible. The surge looks like it’s working and the Democratic congress is an impotent joke so the left is crapping itself that Hitlary won’t become president. Listen “The Times”, Clinton’s foreign policy legacy of appeasment was a joke and you want another Clinton appeasing the psychomullahs who are about to have nukes. Go back to writing for leftist college rags. That’s all The Times journalists are good for.
