It is frustrating to see the character assassination of General David Patraeus. This is a man that was unanimously confirmed by the Senate for this job. Now, because they don’t like what he is going to say, the Democrats are trying to take him down. Here is a blurb I found on the net with an accurate summary of the situation.
In case anyone forgets, this same career officer received a unanimous confirmation for his role as commander in Iraq less than eight months ago on January 26th. Petraeus had a long history of commendable service to this country before being given this command, including excellent work under similar circumstances around Mosul earlier in the war. He told the Senate that he would deliver an honest report, and if he didn’t think that he could turn things around in Iraq, he would be the first to report it.
…
In other words, he has come to tell the Senate that he is fulfilling the mission. And certain members of the Senate understand that they will be discredited if America succeeds in Iraq. Rather than support their nation or at the least acknowledge the honor and integrity of the man they sent to lead our forces in Iraq, they’re trying to ruin him publicly for their own political benefit. It’s despicable, and it demonstrates the utter moral collapse of the anti-war faction within the Democratic Party.
