“Do you deny that Petraeus’ current policy....”

Unable to support your absurd claims, you now resort to bizarre mischaracterizations formed into loaded questions that are laughable. You had claimed that Maliki ‘publicly told Petraeus that he cannot work with him anymore’. I’ve provided rebuffs from both parties involved. You still can’t source your original claims.

“Are you so stupid you..”

I’d say stupidity would be an attempt to peddle defeatist propaganda without any ability to back it up. Particularly on a conservative forum.

I notice you evade on the substance instantly, and don't answer a word of it. Because of course all of it is true.

We aren't stupid. Everyone sees what is happening, and after the fact spin trying to sweep it all away is futile. For my next accomplishment, I will hold a gun to a friendly private's head and ask him if the enemy general is a pantywaist.

And people wonder why we lose the information war. With a truth-free approach like this, it is unilateral disarmament.

Oh and incidentally, no propaganda is required, certainly not any longer. Our policy has been completely hamfisted for years, the political end state we aimed at was incoherent from the begining, we let all the wrong people slide, then our brilliant leaders watered away what political capital they had on amazingly selected divisive side shows, and predictably they have lost all political support and with it any credibility to policy. Iran knows it will be untouched as it runs for nukes, knows it can murder our servicemen with impunity, knows it can suborn a third of the Iraqi state, and knows its proxies can win the coming civil war in Iraq. And you whistle dixie and just pretend you are winning, instead. Which is merely pathetic, everyone within the orbit of Mars knows you have been utterly owned.
