White House to Write Petraeus' Report on Success/Failure of Surge
So these past several months when President Bush has deflected questions about progress in Iraq with statements like, "I'm going to wait for... David Petraeus to come back and give us the report on what he sees," he's been bluffing us. David Petraeus isn't writing any reports — the much-ballyhooed September report that will give America an update on the situation on the ground in Iraq will be written by propoganda artists sitting in offices in Washington DC, likely in the White House itself.
Should this bother us? I know, telling the public one thing and doing the other is standard fare for this administration, but now that we know this is the procedure, I wonder if all important reports about Iraq have been written from the White House, regardless of their official offices of origin. It feels so cynical to say, "Of course!" But it feels that with the Bushies, the most cynical answer is almost always the right one.

I NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD GET THE TRUTH. BUSH HAS NO IDEA WHAT TELLING THE TRUTH IS. IMPEACH BUSH.
A war of conquest founded on greed and lies. How can anyone expect a good outcome from that? Such a monumental waste of life and money. We ALL need to stop being non-involved consumers and wake up. If everyone who really felt this was wrong did ONE thing to make that clear the political landscape might not be so dang toxic. Write a letter, make a call, be willing to speak truth to any and all who will listen and more to those who won't. IMPEACHMENT NOW! Not sour grapes, just a love of Freedom. Destroying our civil liberties in America to create a Democracy in Iraq makes as much sense as screaming "Shut up" at a crying child. Waiting for the Democratic leadership to grow a spine is pointless.

There have been so many lies now from the US administration that one has to ignore the truth value of just about anything that is said. The US has proven itself less trustworthy than the fanatics in Iran. The big question is how long will it take the United States to recover? or can it?

Would the White House be willing to write my graduate thesis as well? It's totally bumming me out right now.
