Sep 13th 2007 – WASHINGTON, DC – From The Economist print edition
David Petraeus says that Iraq is improving and some 30,000 American troops can come home by next summer. Congress wants more.
[ EDIT ] – Congress Demo$hitters … Shut the hell up; you stupid-a$$ Morons don’t know a damn thing! 
ONE pundit likened David Petraeus’s reception on Capitol Hill this week to a Roman triumph. Certainly, America’s top general in Iraq was decked with metaphorical laurels. Even the most anti-war members of Congress were careful to emphasise how much they admired his selfless service. But there the similarity ended. A Roman triumph marked the victorious end of a campaign. In Iraq, neither victory nor end is in sight. General Petraeus was not in Washington to wave at jubilant crowds, but to offer a guardedly optimistic progress report, to endure hours of repetitious questioning by lawmakers, and to hear protesters in pink yell anti-war slogans before being hustled from the room.
I hope to see you in D.C. this weekend.
I won’t be there…unfortunately…
It seems Demonrats know NO SHAME. Listening to the Sean Hannity radio program yesterday, he wants to do an Ad in the NY Times saying
Democrats Betray US-A and put a lot of the horrible quotes the Demonrats have made about our troops on it. I am thinking about emailing him and offering to contribute to his ad!!!! I started my morning with a prayer for all the Patriots on Capitol Hill today standing for America. God Bless them.
