Patraeus

General Patraeus has been recently receiving questions form the senate in review of the progress in Iraq and in the War on Terror. Obama, though he is a presidential candidate, is one of the front runners in the questioning of the General. The article overall was ok but my biggest problems in reading this article is the questions that they presented him with and in the matter in which they did it. Some of the comments that were made had also angered me a little bit. The questions were very iffy and the comments were very broad. Like Obama said that Iraq is still a messy situation, yet, I would like to know if he has gone and witnessed this on a first hand experience. Plus it now seems that, when the US is pushing for a “normal relationship” between Iraq and Iran that the liberal left and the anti- war protestors are questioning as to why. It all seems like backwards logic to me. If you denounce the war but don’t want to push for peace then where do you stand? Its time for politicians to be real and quit playing the political game. Quit sucking your finger and sticking it into the political winds and start sticking to what you say.
