Chaos erupted Wednesday outside a House briefing with Army Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. military commander on the ground in Iraq.
Protestors thronged the halls of the Rayburn House Office Building outside the committee room where Petraeus is briefing members of Congress. The assembled protestors, which included members of Code Pink, shouted for members to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq as the lawmakers entered the room.
Then, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Services Committee, called on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) to resign after suggesting the war in Iraq “is lost.”
That prompted the protestors to shout him down and pandemonium ensued before Capitol Police officers cleared the hallway for reporters, members and aides.
Both parties have scheduled on-camera briefings following the meeting to share their impressions of what Petraeus has to say.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) scheduled a briefing for Democrats on Wednesday afternoon, a day after ABC reported that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would not attend the meeting.

Heard him on the Benett show once. Seems like a straight shooter.
The man has a lot of ‘spunk’.
^^
Dunc has spunk!
Oooooo! Ping me if you know before I do!
Alas, there are many linguini spiners on our side. Why didn’t Boehner and whoever Frist’s replacement is call a newsconference and condemn Reid and the dems? They need to be led & Hunter is the guy to do it.
What an ugly skank.
Interesting how this feminazi is all “tough” and “outspoken” in the US, but then shuts the Eff up and quietly conforms to oppressive muslim “custom” by wearing that filthy sanitary napkin on her head.
Stupid biatch.
LOL, point for Hunter.
I saw him in person and he kinda bored me. But I can appreciate anyone who tells Harry Reid to resign.
Is yhat thing with the guitar male or female? I suspect it doesn’t know.
A very good sign for Hunter, don’t you think?
I’m thrilled.
He wants to 86 Reid? Another reason to like Duncan Hunter>
“The assembled protestors, which included members of Code Pink”
Do we have the camps ready for these people yet?
That’s where they need to be ......
I can hardly wait to hear Michael Savage today!
..this is an all-out cultural and ideological war...
Let's see if reid makes a comment about his poll numbers, he did about Cheney. That's how he dismissed Cheney's comment.

Oh, just wait a few years, and he will begin to make a great deal of sense to you, olovew.
Go Duncan go!!!!
Exactly! The Repubs must play the dems game instead of cowering in the background. If necessary, they need to watch the dems and learn from them on how to stay on offense. Sheeeesh, they make me so mad!
Politico seems to be like the new Drudge Report, almost.
