Perfect strategy by the Bush Administration.Do a Google news search on General David Petraeus and you'll find that this bit of information is only known to readers of Roll Call, and this post.

Pelosi’s Shadow Government wants to negotiate with that guy, Al Whatshisname? Oh, Al Qaeda.
No surprise. They loathe the military. Remember?
....so also do the Foes in the House stop their ears & harden tehir hearts and "yell" to block out the Good News.
Dems have no choice but to see him AND be respectful.
They cant attack him, they cant be rude, they have to sit there and TAKE it, and when he tells them to give him the money, they will eventually have to do that too.
Now I know why Cheney boldly predicted that Dems would cave. Nice Chess.
Funny they are not bothered by violation of protocols when it comes to their "leader" conducting unauthorized foreign policy with the enemies of the USA in violation of the Logan Act.
“This demonstrates a willful refusal to obtain the facts, understand the consequences of withdrawal, or accept the possibility that the new plan for victory just may be showing signs of forward progress,” Boehner said in a statement to Roll Call. “Preventing Gen. Petraeus from briefing Members while delaying funds for the troops and advancing a bill that undermines their mission is downright irresponsible. If I were delaying funding for his soldiers, I wouldn’t want to look the General in the eyes either, but this is a dereliction of duty...”
BINGO!
BINGO!
Pelosivich is a real trip.....
Doesn’t want to have to face the facts, so she tries to say they are too busy to hear him... What’s she going to be doing? Picking out the drapes for the ante room???
Well, maybe it was time for her Botox shots. Then someone told her that it made her look like Hillary - so she cancelled.
Pelosi strikes again.
I had heard that they had an opportunity to meet with him before he left..which was shortly before that bogus non-binding resolution to not back Pres. Bush’s plans...
and NONE of the Democrats even showed up for the meeting!!
These are children...they are not serious people.
They have got to get voted out!!
We HAVE to start the call to get rid of these people from Congress.
That way she can say she didn't know
The Dems did the same thing before the war when there were meetings to see and hear the intelligence reports
House DemoCraps have no interest in OUR TROOPS - only in
maneuvering for political advantage. What a bunch of turds.
There's an opporunity in 2008 .. the question is .. have people learned their lesson yet?
I think they are learning more and more every day what a disaster they contributed to...at least SOME have.
I have still seen several posters say they would vote for Hillary over “so and so” candidate....UGH
Perfect strategy by the Bush Administration.It will be way over her head. She said it was sad that Bush mentioned AlQueda when everyone knows they were not in Iraq. She will probably say the same thing to the General.
Bad way to treat a good man.
Notice who is saying this, the Republican leader! This shows just how stupid the Rat position is. They can not defend it and the will cave. Nancy and the gang seem to have missed the big message in `06, maybe Sen Ned Lamont will tell her.
