The folly of Petraeus testifying on Petraeus

I can't believe that no one in the media is pointing out the folly of Petraeus testifying on "the successes" of his own performance as the highlight of US decision making.

In 1968, Gen. Westmoreland touted the great successes of his strategy and the coming "the light at the end of the tunnel."

(Maybe we just need to go back to Petraeus' statements of success as the general in charge of training Iraqi forces in 2004 to make that point.)

I should probably point out again that it's Petraeus and Bush against Gen. Casey, Gen. Pace, Adm. Fallon, and Sec Def. Gates who are all recommending greater withdrawals.
