I'm trying to locate a transcript of the hearing today. I watched the latter half of the hearing on CSPAN, but would like to go back and read a copy of the transcript.
Anybody know where to find it?

Scroll down to “BLOWBACK” on the above link, then find the hyperlinks.
I just saw a headline at worldnetdaily that they have the transcript.
I don’t see any hyperlink to a transcript of the entire testimony. Could you post it here?
I will not post a pdf document here; the pdf of the testimony is found as outlined above, you need to click on the blue words “Patreus’s testimony” that link to the document. (As noted above, you need to click the hyperlink to hotair.com and scroll past the summary of testimony until you come to the BLUE hyperlink “Patreus’s testimony.” This will be just before the comments section of that blog. The word “BLOWBACK” marks where the comments begin.
I also believe that in the breaking news/current section here on FR has the same thing (look at the forum screen, then the column containing popular stories on the right side).
Thanks,guys. But I’m looking for the transcript of the *entire* hearing tody. I want to read the Rats’ questions, and read Crocker’s and Petraeus’s responses.

I honestly don’t see one up yet. Not of the entire proceeding. If I can find one later, I’ll post the link on this thread.
Here are these for now:

Thanks.
This is one of the many points Petraeus made that totally befuddled the Democrats:
“With respect to the GAO report, their data cut off - the answer is the data cut-off. At the very least, their data cut-off was five weeks ago. And in some cases, I think - might check this - but in some case I think it was nine weeks ago. But at the very least, these last five weeks, as we showed you on the slides, have actually been very significant. “ - Petraeus in response to questioning about the differences between the data he presented and that contained in the recent Government Accountability Office report.
The Dems seemed totally unprepared and befuddled by a lot of what Petraeus had to say today. Wexler went off on a tangent, and Petraueus’s cool and composed demeanor completely disarmed him. The same was true in how Petraeus handled Engle. That’s why I want to read the transcript.
Thanks, but I’m looking for the entire testimony. Q&A’s etc.
Amazing how one doesn’t seem to exist, isn’t it?
I’ve looked all over the internet and can’t find a transcript for the entire testimony, Q&A’s, etc.
The media prefers to spoon-feed us the sound clips from the Democrats about the surge failing.
The truth is a very bad thing for the liberal media propaganda machine.
