Using active Counter insurgency techniques, and our military is living among the people, is acheiving the stated goals of reducing violence.

That’s why I love the name King David.
He takes command and calls to mind a powerful lineage.

Having entered this thread late, I’d still like to say that Lantos continues to be the best imbeded agent numerous foreign governments and terrorists could ever hope for.

He is more than a digrace to the Senate and our nation. He is unfit to serve. That he does speaks volumes of those he continues to serve, at their will.

Voters from Lantos’ state, I’m convinced Osama Bin Laden couldn’t be happier with your choice.

The General is coming across as VERY credible. No way the American people don’t think he has the gravitas to be the liar the Dems paint him as being. He’s doing great!

My goodness, he’s actually going to quote data and measurments from the theater — instead of just accepting the Dem’s view.

"Burton was not being disrespectful...."

I know he wasn't. I was just reporting that Burton came up and said to Skeleton. "I wasn't being disrepectful, and Skeleton said the "Hell you weren't?"

The man knows what he’s doing, and he’s doing it systematically.

Data taken with “rigor an consistancy”

Awesome!

The dems might as well be denying the sky is blue.

The General is doing great. How can the movone.hate crowd disagree with his stats, graphs, etc. I think all of this is going to back fire on the left!!!

Civilian deaths have declined since the surge...Petraeus is actually showing DATA, not just bloviating opinions like the Dems.
