   You’ve forgotten Adm. Ryan Crocker…in his brilliant civil way….he’s killing the rats with his stats. Of course, the General is doing the same but WOW!!! the Adm. is doing one hell of a job. Both are brilliant men…Bush once agains picks brilliant men. I love the fact that adults with this administration are once again in control.

   When, in the history of our nation, have generals been required to testify in front of Congress at a time of war? Did Eiserhower, Patton, Bradley, McArthur, et al have to leave the theatre to testify and take them away from their primary goal, victory?

   The Democrats have shown themselves to be the dispicable, loser socialists they are. Were I a Republican candidate my first question to my opponent would be “Senator Clinton, Senator Obama, how much money have you taken from George Soros and MoveOn.org and do you agree with their attacks on General Petraeus?”

   Average Americans, especially those in fly-over country, while they made be registered Democrats will not take the bashing of our leading general in the field in Iraq, lightly. This slime should be shouted to the rooftops and people should be made to understand “this is what the Democrat Party now stands for”.

   Excellent post, Mac. Bought and paid for indeed. And we all know by whom.

   How their consciences,however small, must be gnawing away at them. Watch their faces tomorrow…they will be contorted. One can’t keep the Hound from Heaven out of one’s conscience 100% of the time.

   And G_d speed on your travels tomorrow. You are in His hands.

   Unfortunately, there is a precedent: the Civil War “Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War” which was established after the disaster at First Manassas (Bull Run). It hauled officers up in front of it for testimony similarly to this lot.

   [...] There are some folks who didn't like my particular take on the MoveOn smear on General David Petraeus. There are some who agree. Oddly enough, those who agree that MoveOn was over the top on this happen to be some big name Democratic politicians. Like John Kerry. “I don’t like any kind of characterizations in our politics that call into question any active duty, distinguished general,” Kerry told CNN, adding “who I think under any circumstances serves with the best interests of our country.” [...]

   Thanks, Cato, I had forgotten about that. But I would love to think what Patton would have told Congress today.
