Today is the day for General Petraeus’s report on the hill today. He starts at 12:30 EST.

It seems as if the Democrats have made up their mind long ago that this report will be a lie. Even though there are many reports that positive things are happening in Iraq, they still will not give this report a fair look. Remember, this is a report the democrats wanted and a General that they wanted running things over there. They confirmed General Petraeus 81-0 in the Senate in January 2007.

The Senate has unanimously confirmed General Petraeus to take command of U.S. forces in Iraq to implement the new mission in Baghdad with the help of additional forces. Rather than back a non-binding resolution of disaproval, why didn’t the gutsy Senators, like Chuck Hagel, who are riding the surf of public opinion opposed to the troop surge and taking on a president with approval ratings at the freezing level vote aginst General Petraeus’ confirmation? Their convictions hold that he has endorsed a wholly unjustified escalation and will be leading troops on a futile mission. They want a role in the conduct of the war and with the need to win Senate confirmation of Gen. Petraeus the Constitution has given them one, but they have taken a pass. Because Gen. Petraeus is an experienced, credentialed, credible advocate of the new strategy, Senators have no interest in tangling with him.

Now, his report is due, and the results are positive. The democrats have spent all of last year and this year saying that we can’t win in Iraq and that we should come home now. They have staked the Election next year on us failing in Iraq. Well, my fine little liberal friends, it looks as though your wish will not come true! Our country is stronger than a bunch of weak people like the Democratic party and their minions.
