LANTOS did NOT RESPECT our GENERAL. He is a POS.

[JoanneSD]

I have called santos office, and cannot repeat what I told the local lady here in california... I could not get the washington office to answer...they must be getting a flood of calls... The lady here in california said she had been getting a lot of calls. Duncan Hunter for President...

[AppyPappy]

Lantos is a lunatic.

[JoanneSD]

correction please...Lantos not Santos.. sorry

[edcoil]

They just threw some protesters out that were interrupting the general.

[vietvet67]

Lantos got slapped down by Hunter and deservingly so.

My hate for these people reached a new, all time high today. IF that is possible. I have had to do everything I can think of to keep from climbing in my hated SUV, traveling to Sodom on the Potomac, and blowing up every stinking, homosexual loving, liberal Marxist's dimocrat I can find. I hate these people so much I cannot see straight. These pukes who have NEVER worn the uniform, who are measly mouthed cowards, sit on their commode thrones and lash out criticism of this General, who is doing his duty. I hate these people to the point of foaming at the mouth in my hate of these pukes and slimes. If this is what America has evolved to, then we, as a country are done. If this is what we call our citizens, our comrades, our countrymen, then I am ashamed to be an American. These pukes do not deserve to be called Americans or citizens of this republic. I hate them all.

Is there anyone or anything that the dems will not defile or trash to regain their power?

[Paige]

I am so livid right now, I can’t have a good discussion. I am past being tired of these Moonbats. They MUST be stopped.

[LibLieSlayer]

“Democrats have been critical of Petraeus, but not nearly as scathing — or as personal — as the MoveOn advertisement.”

BULLSH!T! Anyone with an ear that works knows that dims have called the General a LIAR and political hack. SCREW EVERY LIVING AND BREATHING dim and those that are DEAD but still VOTE!

It is very easy to hate these people as they cowardly sit there and enjoy the freedom that others have paid in the form of shed blood to give them. In my mind they are not worth of that sacrifice. However, as was said, they will defile anything of worth and value for personal selfish gain. This includes the cowardly politicians who do not rebuke them. They are deluded, and they will continue to soil anything in an effort for personal gain. One needs to be aware of this and move on. No need to boil over it. It is what it is.

[LibLieSlayer]

You are NOT alone my brother... NOT alone!

People like that communist Lantos take their swipes at the General who is making progress in a very, very, difficult job. Meanwhile, the Dems can’t manage to get the microphones to work nor can they keep order in their hearing. A third set of Code-Pink protesters, dressed like a freak show from San Fran, just got tossed as the General finished his presentation.

"It has not worked out as we had hoped," the four-star general wrote the men and women under his command late last week.

Cherry-picked and out of context. Typical AP.

There is going to be trouble....they are only throwing out Dems!

I smell a lawsuit.....

[Paige]

I was reading his biography earlier He is from Hungary. His family is Mormon and he is a Jew. He has been a Congressman since 1981 for the 12th district in California. I am now going to study the demographics on this district.

[weegee]

If Harry Reid believes that Petraeus is LYING to Congress, he had better take legal action against Petraeus. Otherwise he’d better shut up and end his own treasonous act.

[AuntB]

Rep. Duncan Hunter of California was the first Republican to speak, and he criticized unnamed Democrats for having criticized Petraeus in advance of the nationally televised hearing. He said the military gains in recent months had produced gains by Iraqis, including an army that is "beginning to emerge as a professional force."

I heard a great quote from Hunter on ABC radio a bit ago also. More direct than this one.
