Do you know anyone who voted for President Petraeus?
I did not know until today that General Fallon, who is head of Central Command and is Petraeus's boss,
thinks that Petraeus is a sniveling, groveling sycophant who cow-tows to higher-ups in order to advance his career -
and has told Petraeus as much to his face.

Not until today did I learn that General Fallon strongly disagrees with the views that Petraeus has put forth in front of
Congress and in his non-written 'report, and that Fallon supports troop withdrawal, starting immediately.

I did not know until today that, in almost all previous instances where military information is provided to Congress by way of testimony
before any Congressional committees, the TWO TOP COMMANDERS, i.e. Generals Fallon and Petraeus, would be the people sitting in those
chairs and answering questions - NOT Genl. Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker!!!

I remember watching them testify at the hearing and thinking to myself, "How is an Ambassador qualified to give testimony on this
subject?" And now I know - he isn't! But that's how Bush manipulated this situation, as every other situation that he botches up, to
put forth a false image and con the Congress and the American people. Again.

Bush has used Petraeus as shamelessly as Petraeus has allowed himself to be used. They are all criminals, lying their way into war,
lying their way into extending that war, lying their way straight to hell on a non-stop express when their time comes.

1. All of the Democratic candidates except Kucinich when they gave bush power.
Bush wouldn't be able to blame betrayus if he wasn't given the power. I think too many people forget why we are in this mess.
