Let me share with you that the Democraps are more afraid of Gen. Petraeus than they are of any other person involved in the war. General Petraeus is winning in the surge. If the word got out that the surge is working, the whole lid would be blown off of the basic Reid/Kennedy/Clinton that the war is lost. The worst possible scenario is for Bush to be proven right that with the right mixture of Leadership and troop levels that the war situation was being reversed and that gains were being made.
I can sense their angst in this scenario playing out. Also, I don’t think they want to tangle with General Petraeus in public Senate hearings. Can you imagine in September the congress is in single digit approval rating and the Iraq war on ascendancy in the public’s eye? All of this going into the2008 campaign season.
Please pass the popcorn.
It is really galling to the dems as Petraus was no big fan of the Rummy stategy and could even be said to align away from the Bush camp based upon my reading.
He is first, last and always a profesional soldier.
