Because progress has being made in Iraq, the Dems have to do something to cover up/justify their claim that the war is lost. So what do they do? Discredit the progress report before it even comes out. Very mature. /s
However, that being said, a few Dems have seen the light and admitted that progress IS being made (Levin among them, can you believe it?). I guess they would rather just face the truth than create more lies to disguise their screw-up. Of course, those were the ones that have actually been to Iraq and not stayed in Washington yakking away for all this time.
