Why trust General Petraeus more then Gen. Colin Powell

[FreakinDJ]

Just wondering

Seems like history is repeating itself

[polichick]

1. They're hoping the Dems won't notice...

...and suddenly do something about it.

2. Because some wear rose colored

glasses and still believe in the Tooth Fairy.

3. Actually, I think BECAUSE of Powell. I suspect every Gen. has seen what Powells

appearance before the UN did to him, and they would not be willing to suffer the same consequences.

I don't think we'll see Petreus tell any blatant lies, but nostly state opinions of his own (or his boss).

4. But the WhiteHouse wrote BOTH reports

Geez...

They used to accuse Clinton of mincing words, but that was nothing compared to the mastery of deception the Bush Admin. has used in it's methodology of report writing.

Remember the 16 precious words in the 2003 State of the Union address. Flawless!

Without ever saying it directly it left 85% of this country believing Saddam and Osama were in league together to take down the Twin Towers
