What General Petraeus will say?
We have made tremendous progress in Iraq but it would not be wise at this time to withdraw our troops and let the country slide back into the same anarchy and chaos we were experiencing at this time last year. It's going to take a little more time for this to work. We are on the right track. The attacks in Basra only highlight how much resistance to the government of Iraq is still left in the country. In order for the country to maintain stability, we will need to stay there at least for another year.

What he will not say:

We need another $150 billion to bribe the anti-government Shiites led by al Sadr. Only by paying their bribes will we be assured of maintaining some semblance of order. The government has lost all control of the present government. The militia that deserted during the Basra attack, more than a thousand, shows the extent of disloyalty to Maliki and this government. They would love to assassinate him because he is seen as a puppet of the occupiers. Also, it was our idea to attack Basra but we only blamed the incompetence on Maliki. Actually, it was President Bush and myself that came up with that brilliant idea.

Basically, a pile of dogshit.

EDIT - He is a 'military professional' and will do whatever his Leader tells him to do. Bank on it.

7. They will ask him all the right questions and he will lie to them because
Edited on Sun Apr-06-08 04:21 PM by Rex
he is under orders to do so. You must remember, the Executive Branch doesn't answer to anyone - especially not Congress. Congress can go take a flying fuck off a high cliff somewhere. Just ask Dick Cheney, he will tell you.


Congress? The lot not worth one US dollar.
