Isn't that the job of the "Commander Guy"? I didn't see him criticizing Bush for not having a Plan B. Also, it seems that the only Plan B he would accept would be continuing on in the way we are going now. The Iraq Study Group came up with a Plan B, but Bush ignored it. This joker is nothing other than another Bush Poodle. “O’Hanlon claims that Sen.

Reid last week argued that Petraeus’ early reports from Iraq indicate he is not “in touch with what’s going on in Baghdad.” Petraeus last week claimed life in Iraq is showing “astonishing signs of normalcy,” seemingly ignoring a Pentagon report which found violence in Iraq has remained “relatively unchanged” since the escalation took effect.
