Baghdadis ‘unimpressed’ with Iraq hearings.

A group of Baghdadis watching the testimony of Gen. David Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker yesterday were “unimpressed.” “I don’t think this will change anything in our country because the Americans will never leave Iraq,” said Saleh Adnan, a car mechanic. “For me, the main report will be the one which announces the American departure.” A recent poll found that nearly 70 percent of Iraqis say the escalation has “worsened” their lives.
