I bet the General would prefer to be in combat in Iraq than too many days like today in Washington DC with all the desk jockey, partisan blow hards all using him to make their points. Joe Lieberman hit the nail on the head....nobody here is going to say things are better, or improved or progress made.....because it does not serve the political agenda.

When one watches an inquisition like today is it any wonder NOTHING gets done in Washington.....too many peacocks strutting their stuff (stuff=BS).

Even our military heroes of yesteryear would not fare well in today's me first, my turn, self serving, party first, partisan thinking demagogues......what happened to country and people first?

Anyway hat's off to guys like Petraeus and Crocker :bigthumbsup:....in my opinion I thought they handled the stupid questions must better this time than last.....they had good charts and did show progress that nobody wanted to talk about.....how sad >
