General Petraeus is reporting to Congress today.
I don't know what he's going to say, but I know how people will react.
Boyda and her liberal Democrat friends (the "we've already lost, it's too late, don't bother me with the facts," gang) will have a two track approach. Anything good Petraeus says about Iraq will be tied to President Bush and said to have been looked at through "rose colored glasses." Anything bad Petraeus says about Iraq will be seized upon as the reason(s) to fully "re-deploy" (i.e. withdraw) our troops within six months to a year.
I'm betting even Boyda isn't going to be dumb enough to make another outburst like she did with General Keane.
What should we be looking for? Progress. Is the current strategy making progress? Does it give us a chance to complete our goal of turning Iraq over to Iraqis without leaving it in complete chaos?

jim ryun and his buddies fell down on the job in the lead up to this war and in the oversight of it after it was going poorly...now the Democrats have to clean up the mess.
the surge has made some suggest, it's true..but did it do even what the administration said we should suggest? No, not at all...our men and women have done their job, but the Iraqis have certainly not...so as we die, they fail.
it's time for us to stop dying for them.
I'm sorry, but I suggest part of your comment makes no sense.
my apologies...

Sorry, but "did it even do what the administration said we should suggest" still doesn't make sense.
That's ok, after two tries, I get your point, even if you aren't expressing it very well.
This isn't about oversight. It's about scoring political points. It doesn't matter how much success General Petraeus says we're having, Nancy Boyda has said, she can't stand to hear it.
For you liberals, it's sad though. For all the posturing of the Democrat majority, they've refused to even take the vote to de-fund our troops and force a pull out. They even broke their promises to you, let alone to the rest of the American people on a whole host of other issues.
At least when Jim Ryun told you he stood for something, you could count on it, regardless of whether you agreed with it.
so the poor idiot couldn't manage to post their idea...but i get the gist and agree 100%. this mess isn't the Democrat's fault, it is the last congress's.
ryun screwed up and allowed all of this to happen by not even trying to oversee the war...boyda and the D's at least are trying.
the war was lost long ago lost, now we're just hanging out getting killed without reason.
The Democrats' Golden Age of warfare was the rooftop exit from Saigon. Never forget.
