Let's not prejudge Gen. Petraeus' September report....

Because, after all, Petraeus hasn't made up his mind as to what his report will say......
U.S. generals expect to need a large contingent of troops in Iraq until the middle of 2009, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq said on Monday......

Asked about media reports that Washington envisioned a substantial American force remaining in Iraq through mid-2009, General David Petraeus told ABC News: "Sustainable security is, in fact, what we hope to achieve.

"It's in our campaign plan. We do think it will take about that amount of time, as you discussed, to establish the conditions for it."

Who better to evaluate Petraeus' performance than Petraeus?

  • Since he only hopes to establish the conditions for it my guess is it will take about more than that amount of time to, in fact, achieve what we hope will be sustainable security.

  • Anyone touched by this administration's corrupting hand deserves to be ignored. No. Strike that. We should listen to them and then take the opposite course. This surely would be the quickest path to success.
