Some disambiguation,
due to the similar sounding names:
General Petraeus
Gen. David H. Petraeus
Senator Betrayus
Sen. Joe Betrayus

No “Copperhead” as the Democrats of the Civil War were called. I think it fits.

Biden also said he wouldn’t cut off any funds for the war. He basically admitted the Rats and some Rinos are all bark and no bite.

IMO, they were at first expecting a negative report from Petraeus, a big "F' on Bush's Iraq report card. They heaped praise in Petraeus, and couldn't wait for the "Petraeus Report". What a bunch of lying weasels.

Biden really is dumber than a stone, but there are quite a few idiots pretending to be Lawmakers. We need term limits.

Any chance Biden will join Warner and Hagel?

Man! This is rich. Joe Biden’s party is the same party that have not come up with any legislation yet that was not guaranteed, designed to lose. A party who have not one thing they have accomplished since they took majority. The Democrat party is a party of losers.

...and now they are stooping so low to call our commanders in Iraq liars and stooges. I sure hope this country is paying attention to who these freaks really are.

“I really respect him, but I think he’s dead flat wrong,” Biden said.”

And, even if I’ve never been right about anything in my entire life, I’m a LOT better at military strategy than any General Officer alive or dead.

I heard Biden this morning on MTP. He said that we should abandon the Central Government and focus on building up the States’ governments. Isn’t this what Coservatives should have been saying all along?
Strong central governments have always been the foes of personal liberty. Whatever government is needed should always be as close to the people as possible. Decentralization is the FRIEND of liberty. Maybe we’re stumbling toward the RIGHT answer despite ourselves.
Much better than this; focus on the individuals and give all the oil resources to law-abiding citizens in a privatization of the oil fields.

Actually, this quotation blew me away even more than Biden chastising a US General:

“there is in fact no security in Baghdad or Anbar province where I was dealing with the most serious problem, sectarian violence.”

Are you kidding me? Joe Biden was dealing with sectarian violence??? How? Did this US Senator just claim that HE was dealing with sectarian violence. Yep, folks. That’s right. Joe Biden strapped on his boots, put on his uniform, grabbed his gun, and dealth with sectarian violence.

And no US General understands the problem better than Joe Biden!

Joe Biden: “Are you going to believe me or your own lying eyes?!?”

They are so sure of what General Petraeus is going to report that they will not even consider the evidence.

I think that this may more accurately describe the dims' "thinking" (such as it is):

They are so sure of don't care what General Petraeus is going to report that and they will not even consider the evidence.
