Democrats are questioning the truthfulness of an upcoming report from Gen. David Petraeus on the progress of President Bush's troop-surge strategy in Iraq.
"For a long time the Administration has hidden behind the name of General David Petraeus, saying the September report will be his. We all knew this would be the President's report," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a news release on Thursday.
Pelosi was reacting to press reports that the Bush administration plans to write the Petraeus report itself -- and may restrict Petraeus's testimony before Congress to a closed session.
A column in Thursday's Washington Post called the Petraeus report, due out Sept. 15, "a White House con job in the making."

Democrat statements are almost childish, they are so obviously partisan and reckless. But the republicans fail to really call them on it.
As Rush stated on his program, The Law is Written as the Administration/Bush shall produce the report on 09/15/07!
We’re winning and that CAN”T be true. Because, if true, Bush would be right and leftists would be wrong.
Can’t be.
Democrats are AFRAID!!!!!
Democrats are AFRAID!!!!!
Sooooo......
Let’s say the report paints a negative picture of Iraq.
Are they still going to say its all lies?????
Wow, where to start with THIS piece of trash
1st of all, Pelosi is upset with NEWS REPORTS of what is going to happen? Uh Huh, and we all know how accurate that information is right? Then, she hasn’t heard a word, read a word, and is already convinced that Petraeus won’t give us an accurate report. (doesn’t spend much time around military people, because the ones I know are precise to a fault most of the time!) So, please someone, put some chloraform on a rag and go stuff it in Pelosi’s big, fat mouth!
If only we had leaders who would call them out on it forcefully, I swear the dems could be publicly exposed as the dirty dogs they are. That Rahm Emmanuel was a filthy little smear artist in the Clinton White House. Their White House was full of ugly people like that who never belonged in the building.
Anyone know what press report she is tlking about? Shouldn't it be online somewhere?

“Whether or not some limited military success has occurred, it is clear that the Iraqi leaders have failed to make political progress,” Pelosi said.”
Yeah Nancy! Cuz buttwarts like you keep kickin’ their feet out from under them. They have no solid ground to stand on. Because of you, they can’t plan for the future. If we stand our ground, they will take one path. If we leave, they must make entirely different plans.
bump
This is why talking to liberals is like talking to the insane.
Let's not overestimate the size of their nuts.
Great question.
My guess is that the Dems will show great flexibility here. The parts that are negative will be pure truth. The positive parts will be a White House con job.
Good God you'd have to be brain dead to vote for a Democrat and to swallow the MSM's bile.
Political reporters at The Wash Post don’t like WPNI [Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive] columnist Dan Froomkin’s “White House Briefing,” which is highly opinionated and liberal. They’re afraid that some readers think that Froomkin is a [Washington] Post White House reporter.
John Harris, national political editor at the print Post, said, “The title invites confusion. It dilutes our only asset — our credibility” as objective news reporters. Froomkin writes the kind of column “that we would never allow a White House reporter to write. I wish it could be done with a different title and display.”
Harris is right; some readers do think Froomkin is a White House reporter. But Froomkin works only for the Web site and is very popular — and [Executive Editor of the website Jim] Brady is not going to fool with that, though he is considering changing the column title and supplementing it with a conservative blogger.
Froomkin said he is “happy to consider other ways to telegraph to people that I’m not a Post White House reporter. I do think that what I’m doing, namely scrutinizing the White House’s every move — with an attitude — is in the best traditions of American and Washington Post journalism.”
The scary thing is that Pelosi is basing national security judgment on this asshats’ column.
