Democrats, no matter how much you say it, that doesn't make it true. You'd like to believe that the surge has failed, but cold, hard numbers don't lie. Hell, most of you haven't even BEEN to Iraq.
Anti-war Senate Democrats bluntly told Iraq commander General David Petraeus Tuesday his troop surge strategy was an abject failure in its prime objective -- forging an Iraqi political settlement.
Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer rebuked Petraeus for past optimism. "I ask you to take off your rosy glasses."
Petraeus replied: "my responsibility as I see it is not to give a good picture, it is to give an accurate picture."
So who do you believe more? A guy who's got a PhD in international relations, who wrote the Army's counterinsurgency handbook and who's right in the trenches of it?
Or are you going to believe a career politician who's only concern is the way the wind blows and in getting more votes to stay in power?
Would you trust the cop or the mayor on what's going on about crime in a city?
The simple fact of the matter is that General Petraeus told the truth and Democrats didn't like it. So they've resorted to calling him a liar, a traitor, and worse. That's the first sign of losing an argument.
