Petraeus on the Hill

Gen. Petraeus is on the Hill today giving testimony about conditions in Iraq. I suspect the General will exxagerate our accomplishments enough so that he is not "retired" like other generals but not so much that people openly laugh at him. This weekend, the military advisors who counsled the Iraq Study Group reported that progress in Iraq is"'so slow, halting and superficial' and political fragmentation 'so pronounced' that the United States is no closer to being able to leave Iraq than it was a year ago."
