August 20, 2007 The White House said Monday that Gen. David Petraeus likely will testify before Congress on the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

A spokesman for President Bush, Gordon Johndroe, reiterated that Petraeus, the commander of U.S. troops in Iraq, and Ryan Crocker, U.S. ambassador to Iraq, would testify in open hearings. They will answer lawmakers’ questions about the situation in Iraq, the success of the troop surge and the next steps to be taken.

The highly anticipated report from Petraeus and Crocker is seen as a potential turning point in America’s involvement in Iraq. Several Republicans, who so far have refused to side with Democratic calls for withdrawal, have said they wanted to hear from Petraeus and Crocker before making any decisions regarding U.S. troop levels.

Democrats last week tried to make an issue of whether Petraeus and Crocker would testify in open session and attempted to paint the administration as trying to stifle such testimony. However, the White House was quick to respond that no such plans had been made.

According to Johndroe, the fact that the pair likely will appear before Congress on Sept. 11 has nothing to do with the anniversary of the attack, but was rather dictated by Congress’s tight schedule.

I see it like Auntie Mame when Nora showed up with Patrick. "This is September 31. You aren't supposed to be here until tomorrow!"

Give it to them on October 1st.

I can't believe the dems would permit this.

Yeah. Feed them some of the fishberry jam. In the meantime, don’t let the D’s try to push the R’s around like Mr. Babcock did to Auntie Mame. Put them in their place, like she did. “Mr. Babcock, knowledge is power!”

The Dumbocratz are backing up as fast as their cute little pumps can jam down their SUV accelerators. They know that the surge is producing good results and they are preparing to repair their positions on the WOT. Just note how Her Thighness is listing to the center, how Levin and his stooge just talked nice about things in Iraq.

The fringe Wefties are going to scream bloody murder, but the Dims are about to begin (sorta) supporting the WOT.
