I sort of hoped the Gen. Petraeus testimony would be a good time to have everyone set politics aside, open their minds and educate themselves on a very very important matter of our foreign policy. Instead, we now have Democrats attacking Gen. Petraeus and groups like MoveOn.org calling him a traitor. If you can't believe a 4 star general with a Princeton Ph.D. that wrote the militaries definitive manual on counterinsurgency, who can you believe? I can't fathom a rational mind not believing someone with Gen. Petraeus's knowledge and experience. This idea that he "cherry picked" data etc.. just makes me think people are crazy and no amount of data or testimony would sway them in their Bush hatred. Because, in reality, all this boils down to is a political war in America. A Republican President went to war and Democrats don't like it. Do you hear Democrats saying anything about money, time or men and women killed in Bosnia? We are still involved in that country if you didn't know. Also, look at the video I linked yesterday, Gen. Petraeus will have a son in Iraq soon. So, if you set aside his experience, including his Defense Distinguished Service Medal, you could at least believe a father sending his son to battle right?
