General Petraeus Tosses a 4th Quarter Hail Mary Pass
From the office of Congressman Dennis Kucinich
WASHINGTON, D.C. (September 10, 2007) — In response to the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs joint hearing with General Petraeus, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) issued the following statement:
“This report to Congress represents a 4th quarter strategy to delay the inevitable. General Petraeus has been tasked with stalling Congress to keep the troops in the middle of a civil war.
“General Petraeus has failed to give Congress an independent assessment of the Iraq War. His statement sounds like the President’s talking points.
“Congress should not be mollified into accepting pre-surge troop levels. His talk of troop reductions is simply a dilatory tactic to mislead Congress. That is not progress, but a continuation of the failed strategy that has led us to our current predicament. The only worthy response is for Congress to demand the withdrawal of all troops.
“We do not have to fund the war. We must tell the President NO to any additional funding. No legislation is required. No vote is required. We have the money to bring the troops home. It does not require a vote. The only thing required is honesty, integrity and a willingness to end the war.”

After watching the "Betrayedus" hearings on late night CSPAN . . .
. . . I think this cartoon sums it up fairly well, kidz . .. ;-)

I noticed that General "Betrayedus" has about as much "salad" over his heart as good ol' General Michael "4th Amendment" Hayden and General Tommy "Stand Down On 9/11 And Get Promoted" Franks. . .
. . .so which one of those "HONOR" pins signifies that the OFFICER has actually READ and UNDERSTOOD the U.S. Constitution, kidz? . ;-)
. . . and which one signifies "I Work For BushCo and Rothschild" . . .which may be more common among our top brass at the Pentagon these daze . .. and therefore easier to recognize. . .;-)

And tell the tale of how goodness prevailed.
We ruled the world - we killed and robbed,
The fucking lot - but we don't feel bad.
It was done beneath the flag of democracy"

peace.
Petraeus and Crocker
George W. Bush is a Liar, Cheney is a liar, Rumsfeld is a liar, Gonzales is a liar, Rice is a liar, Rove is a liar, Libby is a liar, General Pace is a liar, General Betrayus is a liar and Crocker is a liar. The latest video supposedly from bin laden is a lie. IS THERE ANYONE IN THIS ADMINISTRATION THAT IS NOT A LIAR?
NO! NO! NO!
HISTORY WILL RECORD BUSH ET AL AS THE MOST MOST LYING, CRIMINAL, CORRUPT AND INEPT ADMINISTRATION IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.
OUR GOVERNMENT IS BROKEN, OUR COURTS ARE BROKEN, OUR MILITARY IS BROKEN ALL BECAUSE OF THE LIES COMMITTED BY THESE ANTI-DEMOCRATIC CRIMINALS---SUPPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEWS MEDIA.
THEY ALL NEED TO BE MARCHED OFF TO JAIL FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE WORLD.
