As we all know, General Petraeus is prepared to give the report to Congress on progress, or lack thereof, to Congress that required it. In what I can only call the left's pre-emptive strike against him and expecting there to be good news and progress in that report, all stops have been pulled out today to dengrate not only the report, but the man that Democrats in the Senate unanimously chose to lead our Troops and give the report they demanded.
Sen. Joe Biden today said, "I really respect him, but I think he's dead flat wrong."
How much time has Biden spent with the Troops in Iraq?
In another interview, Sen John 'F'in kerry chimed in with his usual, "I think the general will present the facts with respect to the statistics and the tactical successes or situations as he sees them. But none of us should be fooled — not the American people, not you in the media, not us in Congress — we should not be fooled into this tactical success debate."
CNN Reports that the far left George Soros funded group, Moveon.org, is preparing an ad for the New York Times saying, "General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House."
Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday asked Democrat Dianne Feinstein about attacks on General Petraeus' credibility and she replied, "I don't know what he will say. You can be sure we'll listen to it. But I don't think he's an independent evaluator."
Readers comments left on the CNN site aren't as diplomatic saying, "It's becoming clear that General Petraeus represents the military wing of the Republican Party."
"Remember Colin Powell! That's enough for me to question Petraeus's credibility!"
"General Betrayus will be out of a gig when this war is up. The longer the war, the higher his popularity and book and speaking fees will be. You can rest assured that is what this report will be based on."
"Just the fact that Petraeus and Crocker are going to do an exclusuve hour-long special with Britt Hume on Faux Snooze Monday after the report is given should tell you something. This lovefest ought to be something."
Obviously the left is afraid of General Petraeus's report, so they must seek dilligently to discredit it before it is given in true Bolshevik style to destroy any support for President Bush or the Troops fighting this war.
Pete Hegseth, Iraqi War Veteran and outspoken spokesman for Vets for Freedom said, "MoveOn.org has been working closely with the Democratic congressional leadership --as an article in today's Sunday New York Times Magazine makes clear. And consider this comment by a Democratic senator from Friday's Politico: 'No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV,' noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. 'The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.'"
Is Political Power so important to the Democrats and the left that they will once again work so hard to sell out, not only the Troops, but once again sell out a struggling ally as they struggle to gain the freedom we enjoy?
