General Petraeus to testify on 9/11 - Prediction: Tin Foil Hatters will freak out
The left will pop smoke in 3, 2, 1...
Please refer all conspiracy theorists to this excellent post by Grim - "The Petraeus Report" - about the legal background around the testimony that General Petraeus will be compelled to make on September 11th. I believe the testimony was originally supposed to take place by the 15th of September, but the Rosh Hashana holiday begins on the 12th so his testimony was moved up. When Think Progress, Daily Kos, and all "progressives" spaz out on the date of the testimony, please remember (or remind them) which party controls Congress. They could hold the testimony on the 10th, but then that would mean that Congress would have to work on a *gasp!* Monday...
So, after the ginning up of the testimony being on the 11th, will the Democrats or anybody opposing the Surge actually have a plan (a real plan) for Iraq? What about the Democrat candidates' plans (other than the utterly imbecilic invasion of Pakistan)?
*crickets chirping*
The point here is that you strike while the iron is hot.
People, General Petraeus ain't gonna make that iron any hotter than it is right now. More military success will come, certainly. And political concessions will follow. But the momentum for change is happening right now. The anti-war movement virtually fell apart this summer (No? Then, where are they?). The politicians have scrambled to take a spun up position that states"...of course, our military will be victorious, but it means nothing without the Iraqi Congress enacting legislation." As if they already knew that victory was a foregone conclusion...except that it is an impossibility.
Why can't they just try to win this damn war?
Iraq is far from victory or reasonable stability. But it IS changing for the better. And the General could use all the help he can get from Congress (funding, legislation, and how about some support?).
My thoughts and prayers will be with General Petraeus that day. Surely, he would rather face the enemy than deal with the Soros-influenced, sycophantic, and self-serving martinettes that will be sniping at him on the 11th.

The victory is all the sweeter for the hard work we all put into it. This didn't just come from the White House Press Secretary, the military PAO or a few reporters with integrity. You and I fought this battle too. [Read More]
