The Dems fear the Crocker message far more than Petraeus. He will be their main target. Watch.

"What Crocker is saying has far more importance and impact than Petraeus report. It shoots the Dems out of the water in terms of their charge that there is no political success and the outlook for achieving it, bleak. This is really the strongest argument for staying there."
Then expect to see Crocker smeared and slammed mercilessly by the DEMAGOGUES from here onward, for they cannot allow the USA to triumph in any way.... they are the party of retreat, defeat, and anti-Americanism. Crocker is now an obstacle to the Soros/MoveOn charlatans and will have to be crushed, just watch them try....... the scumbags!

The general has a winning public demeanor - when he led the 101st Airborne Division in northern Iraq in 2003, he proved such a superb diplomat that the Kurds called him “Malik Daoud” - King David - as a mark of respect. He listened patiently, spent money wisely, used force intelligently and truly did win hearts and minds.

Not on the inside at all, have just done a bit of reading up on him. He is extremely intelligent, and the expert on counter-insurgency. We are blessed.

I do not disagree, just saying I will not be surprised.

You may be right, but that is a shame. Crocker is addressing some of the most important points and showing wherre some important successes have occured.

Crocker: “I can’t guarantee success... but withdrawing would mean total failure and an invitation to disaster after so much blood and treasure has already been sacrificed.” This is probably a bad “summary” but I think it’s close.

The House Dems will launch the first salvo against Crocker. The MSM put the focus on Petraeus, but Crocker is the one who is playing the more crucial testimony.

“Watch the Dems try to impeach Crockers testimony....
They have got to destroy his testimony.”
The Anti-Truth Democrats cannot impeach Petraeus’s reputation, no matter how hard they try. Crocker is going to be victim number one for these idiots..
The Money masters at MoveOn are going to be DEMANDING a propoganda victory of some kind from this..

Before the Petraeus-Crocker testimony, the Dow Jones, Nasdaq, and S & P were all red. Now they’re all green.
Coincidence?
To: kabar
The House Dems will launch the first salvo against Crocker. Perhaps so. I suspect that Crocker is a canny fellow, however, whose experience in Iraq has made him used to dealing with much more hard-ball politics than these Democrats are able to dish out.
The Dems are gonna get kicked to the curb.
