Comments on: The Conditions Of Petraeus' Iraq Report

Schieffer: We've Been Waiting For The General's Take On The War, But Now The White House Is Hedging

[www.dmocrats.org]

For the cost of a telegram send your congressman, Senator or Mr. Bush a real message to get out of Iraq now. If they receive one of these they won''t soon forget your message. It costs as much as a telegram to send this message and unlike a telegram they will not soon throw it out..

Hello

Get your Republican party to end the war in Iraq, with Bush and Cheney resigning, and until you do we stop buying televisions, refrigerators, stoves, ovens, dishwashers, dvd players, stereo equipment, light bulbs from one of your party''s major contributors and War contractors General Electric Corporation ( 203 373 2211 ) who cannot afford to lose a large sector of the publics business and money.

Bob Schieffer tried to retire a while back but he was asked to stay on and accepted. There is a certain power in that, Bob can speak the truth with vigor, say what he thinks and could care less who has a problem with it and he''s been doing just that! I hope I''m that sharp when I reach Bob''s age, no one can argue that Bob is not on his "A" Game! Go Bob! No more rabbit trails for him!

So the White House won''t even bother to wire Petraeus up to say what he knows or suspects is B.S. -- just like they did to Colin Powell at the UN. They''re just going to write what they want and say it''s based on Petraeus''s report (which will of course be too sensitive for us mere taxpayer/citizen mortals to hear directly).

This is an administration that has to cheat even when the game is already rigged.

Mr. Schieffer''s article makes a fair and accurate point. There has been a few too many quiet "back room" activities going on for my taste. I hope the article is wrong, but I doubt it. All I can say is I don''t really know who to trust in government anymore. I will say this though, I''m learning to watch deeds far more than I listen to words......Good article Bob!

From my perspective, the very least likely would be Rupert Murdoch''s employees.

If you really want solid reporting, why do you take Schieffer to task for condemning the White House''s "spinning" of his report?

General David Petraeus needs to really stand out in History (capital H) and demand publiclly to voice the opinions that he agreed with his Commander in Chief -- and OUR President, they together owed (and still owe) to the American people--and the world.

Let the General make or fail to make his point--and lets watch to see if he is blinking in code like a POW --Because Bush certainly does not want him to speak freely (or Frankly...).

Truly bob has been part of the journalistic problem - they don''''t have enough fortitude to dig for an answer to the questions that need answering.

Don''''t forget that was Lyndon Johnson. Don''''t forget Clinton and Chirac got 800,000 Ruwandans killed, at the same time Chirac was still selling weapons to one of the factions in Ruwanda. Clinton bombed Yugoslavia without the UN''''s permission

Ok idiots you got that off your chest (or perhaps breasts) now after SEVEN years of bush start making excuses for him. People like yourselves are pathetic.
Banging a drum yelling "CLINTON" shows your lack of brains.

Last I heard it was the DEMOCRATS that wanted this report given behind closed doors...NOT the white house.

RRRiiiggghhhtttt. And the Dems wanted the White House to write the report as well as opposed to hearing directly from Petreaus.

PUHLEASE!
