They will allow the General the absolute least amount of on air time they can in order to prance and preen in front of the camera themselves.

IMHO the PResident needs to block off some air time on the networks and let the General put this report out to the people.

It’s the ONLY way most of them will ever get to hear it.

She’s attacking dems for questioning honesty of the general. Calls move-on ad OUTRAGIOUS. Cites reports of Move-On coordinating with dem members. Citing politico report of senate dem hoping move-on does dirty work so they wont take heat for doing so.

Hunter destroyed Lantos. He was brilliant in dismissing Lantos’ remark about Anbar being just 5% of the Iraqi population by saying that 50% of US casualties were suffered in Anbar so it is important concerning what has happened there.

The young lady from Florida is slamming the dems as well! I hope a good portion of this country can see this.

Both the General and the Ambassador get 30 minutes each before questioning from the Congress begins. They’ll get to say their pieces. IF the Congress critters give them their chance! But I’m loving the Republican speeches, shame on the democrats, shame shame shame! :-)

Agreed! Moveon.org is absolutely despicable. Link to the full page ad they ran:

LOL. Hunter is a good looking man - and I am shallow, so I can say that...

Quote from JFK: "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."

How far Teddy and his friends have fallen. That is one of the greatest lines in American history. How ironic that it came from the idol of the left. The Dummies literally make me ill. Their hatred for this country, left counterbalanced, will be the death of this country.

Unfortunately Hunter said nothing that will get MSM attention, and therefore American’s WILL NOT HEAR IT.

Chamberlain(pre-WW2) only insured larger threat when he backed down. Islamic extremeists see Iraq as central front-withdrawing will tell them we are weak and unrealiable.

Awesome. I’ve been waiting for this for awhile...can’t wait to see the Dems cringe when they here Petraeus say the surge has made some progress!

My computer’s not near a TV so I’m not watching C-SPAN. Probably a good thing, I really don’t want to get sick from listening to Dems talk just days before I have to go start college.
