Hmmm how about Colorado? I like it here

Hmmm, here's a pondering thought.

The democratic majority lead Senate voted UNANIMOUSLY in favor of David Petraeus to be the Commander of our forces in Iraq (81-0) back in January.

WWW Link

Now all of a sudden (since the Labor Day break) the Democrats are shouting that Petraeus is in bed with Bush. Is it because all the blowhard lefties want to slander him before he even gives his report? You Col, should be outraged at the disgracing of this UNANIMOUSLY elected Commander.

Schumer, Durbin, and all the other bandwagon Cracker Jack Senators who voted for this man to be the Commanding officer are now smearing him. WHY????

So I ponder some more...

Hmm, isn't it ironic that the one's that are smearing him are the same one's who said Iraq is a failure?

Answer: YES!

So some how these Dems get a pass (especially by Col here) because they call Petraeus a liar before he can even give his report.

It sounds like a bunch of third graders playing politic.

You can't call me names because I called you one first. NANANANANA!

Pulease!

You Just wait till Bush wins in 2008 people like you will bot be allowed to print falsehoods anymore. He will enact a law banning anything that does not tell the truth.

If that took place Bush and his minions would become Mimes! Most people on Joe User could not post anything!

Col,

Are you at ALL upset with how Petraeus was treated at his report today?

remember the col should have been a general so any general that got it in the end he is all happy about.

Col,

“Are you at ALL upset with how Petraeus was treated at his report today?”

NO! He is twisting the facts to make it look like there is progress. I am very proud of the job our military have and are doing in Iraq. Petraeus is moving the numbers around in different categories to make it look as if the Surge is solving the overall problem in Iraq. Nothing could be further from the truth. He says we will draw down 30,000 by the summer of 2008. That is NOT a policy change it is the reality that we CAN NOT maintain the 30,000 troops that he is recommending be removed. He has no choice are the Joint Chiefs have told Bush that two weeks ago. They told Bush the troop strength should be cut to 80,000 not the 130,000 Petraeus is suggesting!

The overall death rates have NOT dropped. July was the second highest ever and the rate on 2007 is DOUBLE the rate in 2006. The general is excluding certain categories of deaths to make the situation look better. He also ignored the increased violence in the south where the British have removed their troops and the facts is that the base cause for the violence is NO better today then last year or 2 years ago. Crocker can not provide an estimate as to when the Iraqi Government will be able to function and all he talked about was a Federalism which is the opposite from the Unity Government that Bush has been supporting with Maliki.

Last night CNN had an Iraqi Reporter on that said the people do not TRUST either the police or the Iraqi military? These are the two institutions we are training to safeguard the people and the PEOPLE DO NOT TRUST them. In the end when we leave, Iraq will see an increase in the internal fighting and the influence of Iran will increase. The shame is that we are talking about this issue at all. Had Bush listened to the advice from people that knew a lot more then he did about that part of the world, we would NOT have invaded Iraq and we would not be in this NO WIN situation in September 2007.

This report is all Political to help Bush continue a FAILED policy in Iraq!

The hardest questioning of Gen. Petraeus came from GOP senators today not the Democrats!

that is because the democrats didn't care what the answers were.
