General David Petraeus' testimony to Congress on the "progress" of the surge in Iraq will occur on September 11, 2007, the sixth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
Along the same lines....this report, which has been hyped by President Gameboy and his enablers in Congress as being an honest assessment of the war's progress from Gen. Petraeus, will, in fact, be written by the White House. The key passage:
"An aide to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl M. Levin (D-Mich.) said that "we are in talks with the administration and Senator Levin wants an open hearing" with Petraeus. Those positions only hardened yesterday with reports that the document would not be written by the Army general but instead would come from the White House, with input from Petraeus, Crocker and other administration officials."
Why does anybody believe a single goddamn word coming from the White House? If they were one-tenth as talented at governing as they are in Propaganda 101, we'd be the greatest fucking empire since the Brits.
