And if the General practices enough, he will be able to say violence is down with a straight face, too.  Good job, stooge.</description>

		<description>&#039;I expect that alot of the left will be quite confused about the report. They are going to hear things about schools being built, efforts made to to restore oil, water and health facilities. About how the decrease in violence has lead to the corner shop keeper opening up his stores again. 

They will be confused because none of this is reported in the media and they think it will be all lies by General Petraeus. This stuff is actually ahppening so believe it.

Comment by Another Chris&#039;

Uh huh; and let us know when Elvis gets here.

Unemployment in Iraq is running around 70%; electricity is available in Baghdad about 4 hours a day, on a GOOD day, and far less around the rest of the country; schools may be getting built, but few families are allowing their children to attend, because just walking your kids to school could get your entire family slaughtered; 
Iraqi civilian deaths have been steadily climbing since January, the beginning of the surge; attacks on US service personnel have consistently increased over the past 6 months.

Is this the success you&#039;re referring to?

You know, when Saddam was killing off his enemies by the dozens, he eventually came to the point where they were all gone, and the violence in Iraq slowed to a normal trickle. this has happened in a few places in Iraq, where the sectarian violence kept in check by Saddam, having been unleashed by the US invasion, has resulted in nobody being left to kill. this is what you are pointing to as success. Shows your desperation nicely.</description>

Two projects in 5 years a a trillion dollars? how pathetic, both the record and your reliance on it to make some king of point. it just bolsters the left&#039;s truthful assertions that this war is long lost and can never be won with these idiotic, murderous, taxpayer-bleeding tactic. You&#039;ve just proved your irrelevance. congratulations, you&#039;ve accomplished something today, that puts you one up on Bushco.</description>

yes, as in acting, it will take practice to stay in the character of a truthful general, when in fact being a lying mouthpiece. telling the truth takes no practice, troll. Try it, it&#039;s cool, you don&#039;t have to remember anything, you don&#039;t have to study. You just tell the truth.

never mind, it&#039;s a foreign concept for rightwingnuts</description>

		<description>I do not believe the Gen or the White House referred to it as a dress rehearsal the NYT did.

		<description>Dress rehearsal, eh?  How discouraging, and sad, that is.  I wonder if the great generals of the past had to have dress rehearsals with their brain trusts.

From wiki: A dress rehearsal is the last rehearsal before the performance. It is called a &#039;dress rehearsal&#039; because in a theatre the actors will be wearing their costumes.

Performing monkeys for the Pretender to the Throne.  For shame, General.  For shame.</description>
