THE WHITE HOUSE SPEAKS
it’s not a secret that general david petraeus has his job because he was involvement picked for it by the president.when he was introduced to america, the critics praised him for his past service and expertise. many described him as the human being to call when things got bad in iraq, a man who “wrote the book” on unconventional warfare.during his first shift of congress and later, it became clear to anyone keeping up with the news that the general knew reallllly knew who his boss was, who signed the checks as it were. he managed to keep his vocation even when a less cooperative and apposite more open-handed preferred got hired, and then retired in short order.so, while watching the most recent affidavit today of both the general and ambassador ryan crocker, the only real question was how anyone could listen to what was said and not hear the right message loud and withdraw.senator jim webb of virginia pretty much had it nailed while appearing on msnbc’s “hardball.”webb said that he at least wasn’t surprised that members of congress couldn’t put on any exact answers out of either men, and went on to draw the conclusion that the next president would inherit some 140,000 american troops on the ground in iraq.he handled the matter diplomatically.the truth is that it appears both men continued to serve a creamy house directive that has turn clear over the past couple of years george w. bush won’t pull troops out of iraq, ever. i appears regardless of the advice of the military, regardless of an endless series of polls and reams of research, mr. bush unprejudiced won’t budge.hasn’t he said as much? it won’t stuff just how unpopular the fight has behove, he won’t deviate from the oval office as the man who “lost iraq.” and yes, one might wonder if the president the same light of day thought concerning any of that as he presented the medal of honor to the family of a fleet seal killed in combat. it doesn’t appear that any several of american lives will undulate him, and it doesn’t non-standard like that any amount of money paid for the continually foundering effort will dissuade him.round senator john mccain seemed to go on the offensive today, even so with less gusto than senators obama and clinton. it took senator joe biden of delaware to positively lay down the hammer on emissary crocker, asking crocker where he thought u.s. resources should really go iraq or pakistan and afghanistan?after waffling, the ambassador completely responded that the bigger menace lies in pakistan and afghanistan. however, he’d only say that after biden asked where crocker would put troops if spirit sat on the confirm table and asked where the troops were more needed. at least someone got a straight answer out of the administration, but only after a lot of frustration.regardless, the blanket message was inferior and clear president bush won’t help with plans to absent oneself troops, and will make mind sure when it does happen, he isn’t around to sign the paperwork bringing home american servicemembers.
