LIVE THREAD: Gen. Petraeus Before Congress

Gen. Petraeus' report to Congress

[kabar]

The Dems fear the Crocker message far more than Petraeus. He will be their main target. Watch.

[Enchante]

"What Crocker is saying has far more importance and impact than Petraeus’ report. It shoots the Dems out of the water in terms of their charge that there is no political success and the outlook for achieving it, bleak. This is really the strongest argument for staying there."

Then expect to see Crocker smeared and slammed mercilessly by the DEMAGOGUES from here onward, for they cannot allow the USA to triumph in any way.... they are the party of retreat, defeat, and anti-Americanism. Crocker is now an obstacle to the Soros/MoveOn charlatans and will have to be crushed, just watch them try....... the scumbags!

The general has a winning public demeanor - when he led the 101st Airborne Division in northern Iraq in 2003, he proved such a superb diplomat that the Kurds called him “Malik Daoud” - King David - as a mark of respect. He listened patiently, spent money wisely, used force intelligently and truly did win hearts and minds.

I can’t wait to hear Petraeus slapdown a few dem Congresscritters later during the dog and pony show.....LOL

From your keyboard to God's ears. I want nothing more right now than I want to see someone go all Zell Miller on their asses!

[tobyhill]

They got their sound bite,”I can’t guarantee success”.

[La Enchiladita]

Not on the inside at all, have just done a bit of reading up on him. He is extremely intelligent, and the expert on counter-insurgency. We are blessed.

[TornadoAlley3]

I do not disagree, just saying I will not be surprised.

[truthluva]

You may be right, but that is a shame. Crocker is addressing some of the most important points and showing wherre some important successes have occured.

[trooprally]

Didn’t Cindy Sheehan get arrested today? I hope people listen to Gen Petraeus and what he has to say.They need to be patient.

“I told them that I hope my son in law can salute him as commander in chief.”

Crocker: “I can’t guarantee success... but withdrawing would mean total failure and an invitation to disaster after so much blood and treasure has already been sacrificed.” This is probably a bad “summary” but I think it’s close.

[kabar]

The House Dems will launch the first salvo against Crocker. The MSM put the focus on Petraeus, but Crocker is the one who is playing the more crucial testimony.

[tcrlaf]

“Watch the Dems try to impeach Crocker’s testimony....
They have got to destroy his testimony.”

The Anti-Truth Democrats cannot impeach Petraeus’s reputation, no matter how hard they try. Crocker is going to be victim number one for these idiots..

The Money masters at MoveOn are going to be DEMANDING a propoganda victory of some kind from this..

[BCrago66]

Before the Petraeus-Crocker testimony, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S & P were all red. Now they’re all green.

Coincidence?

[r9etb]

The House Dems will launch the first salvo against Crocker.

Perhaps so. I suspect that Crocker is a canny fellow, however, whose experience in Iraq has made him used to dealing with much more hard-ball politics than these Democrats are able to dish out.

The Dems are gonna get kicked to the curb.

[Uncle Miltie]

Is this guy drunk?

[sageb1]

Interesting!

[La Enchiladita]

The man is a genius.

[SE Mom]

Oh boy...here come the questions..

“...while our young men and women are sweating and fighting...the key pieces of legislation have not been passed...by the Iraqi legislature”

[Red_Devil 232]

Skeleton is doing just what you predicted ... he is a sham!
