What's next? Behind closed doors, not under oath and no transcript.
Isn't everyone tired of this broken record already?
Fool us once, shame on you.
Fool us a thousand more times, SHAME ON AMERICA. - tucsonsun13, on 10/10/2007, -9/+36Do me a favor and stop f**king writing "BREAKING" in a story's title. It's not breaking....it already broke.
- MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -4/+27How can there be a progress report if there was no progress to begin with?
- DiscoLando, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19EXPECTUM PETRAEUS!
- hawkeye17, on 10/10/2007, -7/+24Goebbels would be proud of this Administration.
- relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -2/+16Bush has already gone on record as proclaiming that his goal in Iraq is to sustain troop levels for the next United States president to continue the occupation. He has no intention of getting out, his only hope is that he can dump this mess onto the next elected official so the brunt of the blame for this ***** of historical proportions may not rest entirely on his shoulders.

Well, if there’s no written report, it makes Winston Smith’s job much easier.
Comment by Angry McAngus - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+19This will be spun into war in Iran. One way or another, instead of giving us a reason to step back from the abyss, Petraeus' report will somehow morph into the causus belli that the neocons are looking for
- smackywentz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+13BREAKING: You are on Digg.
BREAKING: Your Caps Lock button is on. - InetRoadkill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10No paper trail equals no accountability. This shouldn't be surprising. It's already common knowledge that the white house is writing the progress report rather than Petraeus. The only reason Petraeus is even involved is a futile effort to give the surge credibility.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7General Patraeus should write the report ! NOT THE MOST CORRUPT WHITE HOUSE IN US HISTORY!!!
Are you that ***** stupid, or did you not read the ***** article?
Ok CONman. So you're bashing a war veteran like John Murtha?! WHAT THE ***** HAVE YOU DONE for this COUNTRY?!
Please, please please tell me you have actually served and you aren't pinning your hopes on throwing out a few names of a party you don't agree with. I don't like the current Republican administration and I could name 5 times as many failures: Jeff Gannon (Gay Republican Whitehouse reporter), FORMER Senator Ted Haggart (Gay child molester / National Christian Leader), FORMER Senator, Gay, Craig. (Iowa) introduced legislation against gays (he's another one of your hypocrite buddies). Should I continue, or have you realized that the Republican party has been scuttled.
Please tell me that you actually have some content, and not just "Ok Libs." as if it was a bad thing.
Our country is Progressive/Liberal. If you have a problem with that, get a ***** HELMET and STFU. You whiny soccer mom republicans and your "baby on board - please drive careful because I drive like an ***** in my minivan" stickers.
I intentionally BRAKE in front of many Minivans because their owners are overprotective parents that don't actually parent. - fuzzmeister, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Because "Lack of Progress report" isn't as good for soundbites.
- marcomc2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7WTF, I just knew he would be silenced.
I cant believe I was right.
Actually its not a real surprise, I just thought for once something would get better.
*****.
Still protesting on the 15th though.
After posting this Im gonna wait outside my dorm, for the NSA,"Do not protest, son, or we'll have to detain you."

- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7BREAKING: The report will include use of the words: ***** and quagmire.
- airiox, on 10/10/2007, -15/+20Why would he waste his time writing up a 300 page report? He is still gonna give a report its just not going to be written. NEW FLASH: this isn't news.
- smackywentz, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9300 pages of "I do not recall." would just be a waste anyway.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4sry, meant to digg that up... :(
- wolfofwar, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6Gotta love our country. Our executive branch that uses it's executive powers to undermine out consistutional rights claim they aren't even a part of our country, we have no real assessments of our war on "terror" all our politicians still want a piece of the big money that is the military industrial complex, and the general population cares more about the next american idol then the next american president.
R.I.P. Democracy.
Hello Imperialism. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -7/+11When are the sheep going to look up?
Maybe they are so comfortable in the consumer paradise that they never will, they will just swill all the pap that is given them and let the government murder and torture in their names. - dagnabbit, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8More analysis here: http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/archives/12802.html
"On the one hand we have reports and data from the National Intelligence Estimate, the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Research Service, the U.S. Embassy, and the Independent Commission on the Security Forces of Iraq, all of which point to very little security progress and no political progress in Iraq. On the other hand, we’ll have Petraeus’ opening statement to Congress.
And this is the moment the political world has been waiting for?" - fezzen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The white house is required by law to do a lot of things.
In this "post-9/11 world," that doesn't really mean anything anymore. The law is for keeping us serfs in line. - josephblanx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5"We're kicking ass in Iraq!"
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4What is it with you CHURCHIES abusing the word "TRUTH" as a ***** VERB?
Your invisible friend would prefer that not lie, cheat and steal rather than "converting" those of us with actual integrity into believing in him.
Perhaps you should try that. Asking forgiveness from your invisible friend doesn't count. In fact, that should be stricken from the next version of your "bible".
***** you. - Shadowhawk109, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Uhh, hate to break it to ya, but Vietnam and World War Two were both like that (I think FDR died just before the war ended), and Lincoln was assassinated before the end of the Civil War.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Absolutely!!!! It's still happening:
SEPT 15TH. If don't like DEATH, DISMEMBERMENT, HORRIFIC CRIMES - FIND A WAY TO BE THERE !!! - huckabees, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4This administration has discovered the key to getting away with whatever they want: no written or audio/visual record. Perfect way to rewrite the past and not be questioned.
- duddles, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Maybe we haven't been attacked here since it's easier for al qaeda to plant IEDs and kill Americans in Iraq.
- falseleftright, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5March to Washington anyone?
- ccheath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3 (2) REPORTS REQUIRED-
(A) The President shall submit an initial report, in classified and unclassified format, to the Congress, not later than July 15, 2007, assessing the status of each of the specific benchmarks established above, and declaring, in his judgment, whether satisfactory progress toward meeting these benchmarks is, or is not, being achieved.
(B) The President, having consulted with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Commander, Multi-National Forces-Iraq, the United States Ambassador to Iraq, and the Commander of U.S. Central Command, will prepare the report and submit the report to Congress...
(D) The President shall submit a second report to the Congress, not later than September 15, 2007, following the same procedures and criteria outlined above. [...]
(3) TESTIMONY BEFORE CONGRESS- Prior to the submission of the President's second report on September 15, 2007, and at a time to be agreed upon by the leadership of the Congress and the Administration, the United States Ambassador to Iraq and the Commander, Multi-National Forces Iraq will be made available to testify in open and closed sessions before the relevant committees of the Congress.
------------------
let's repeat the good parts
-----------------------
The President shall submit a second report to the Congress, not later than September 15, 2007, following the same procedures and criteria outlined above
Prior to the submission of the President's second report on September 15, 2007, and at a time to be agreed upon by the leadership of the Congress and the Administration, the United States Ambassador to Iraq and the Commander, Multi-National Forces Iraq (THAT'S PETRAEUS) will be made available to testify in open and closed sessions before the relevant committees of the Congress.
------------------------
so you see that's why he's involved and that's why it's not his report - mikehosek, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Your absolutely right. We're kicking our own ass in Iraq.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Why is it that we were attacked on 9/11?
Bush maybe? And please don't mention the prior President in your rebuttal (if you know what that word means, repubs). Please DO mention the 40+ days of VACATION playing GOLF with his OIL BUDDIES that happened just before Sept. 11th.
Allow me to translate: "if'in he'dve been read up on them papers on 'is desk, hed've knowed that 'doez Saudis was gunna get us dat day."
It tweaks me to no end to think that you people can destroy America by electing idiots because "he's a normal fella just like me". ***** that. Our country didn't become great by good ole boys hiring their friends into office.
Elect the smart people. They won't hurt you. They might do things that you don't understand (yet), but someday it will make sense. They're smart. They are making decisions that take the "whole of the world" into account. Smart people don't hate stupid people. Muscular people don't hate skinny people. People are different and they have different opinions.
America was founded that way. It needs to remain that way. - nreynolds, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3that's exactly what i thought, well... that and deli-meat.
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Dude, I'll be right there with you.
SHUT THIS ***** DOWN ON SEPT. 15TH !!!
It's a Saturday, so you have NO reason not to be there (or in your local city boycotting this War).
Small groups of dedicated individuals are the only ones that have ever changed the world. Be one! - cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3There is a difference between moral fiber and integrity.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4uh you don't know history do you?
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3you're being buried for being off topic. but you are correct in the gaping insurance fraud issue that is building (no pun intended) against "the owner" of the WTC plats and properties.
- hrtattx, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4/suprised
/sarcasm - Sinistocrat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3At this point, he'll be considered the worst president in history regardless of who takes the blame for the war.
- PeppermintPig, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Yeah, but it's the thought that instead of writing a report, he'd like these other unaccountable bureaucrats and politicians to play 20 questions with him. That's going to be REALLY informative, lol.
"I really can't just tell you what's going on, but if you ask, I might know something." - cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2We're not going to war with Iran.
The "War with Iran" is a false-flag/media campaign designed to discredit the people that outed them on the Iraq war.
It will give future generations of NeoClowns ammunition to say that the "Media" 'complained about Iran too, but we never attacked them'.
As Patriots, we should always be prepared. That said, I doubt (and hope) we will not attack Iran. - waynetheman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, how convenient. I guess it'll make it easier for him to deny what he says when he's called on it later.
- troye, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The only way America will wake up is if the draft is back. Then you will see moms, dads, and college students protesting. Protesting has been happening currently. But when the draft is back, that is when the sheeple will wake up - in my opinion.
- joe7845, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2REPOST
So? - FredoBerfil, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How about the GAO? They're not under the direction of the President, and they already delivered a report on the political situation in Iraq. And, they're nonpartisan.
- MeMongo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Every time it happens in this administration, the General gets fired
- cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Electing him was bad politics. Not educating yourself on the subject after Sept. 11th and allowing him to be re-elected in 2004 was DEADLY BAD POLITICS.
If you voted for Bush in 2004, you either:
a) believed EMPTY / FALSE Republican promises
b) you are a Christian intentionally trying to create a Holy War (and the Second cumming of whatever)
c) you are a NAZI and think America should take over the world.
Breakdown:
c) will never happen (didn't the Cold War teach us that?)
b) is still an ever growing threat
a) happens. The Libertarian party is the Good Old Republican Party. It's the closest thing to Republican values that exist today. - cbergeron, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I thought that only "Flip Floppers" don't document what they say?
What happened to the republicants?
I guess when you're an aged and dying American party (Republicans), you resort to whatever means you have remaining - like lying, cheating and stealing. Luckily, the Libertarians are taking over the sane parts of the republican party. These days, the Republican Party is basically the Whig Party of old. Dying, grasping for it's last breath, and doing ANYTHING to hold on to power.
Sorry it didn't work out, but you ***** our Country a little too bad (again) this time. MainStream Media may not be covering the Libertarians as much as they should, but I can GUARANTEE that the movement is beyond basic momentum. - Ebacherville, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hey there getting smarter , no paper trail, like that PNAC document Dick Chaney was part of where they state " we need a new pearl harbor".. to get America into war..to gain control over the country.. Look it up.
