Congress and our nation has been lied to again.
The report, or what ever it is called, to Congress by General Petraeus is not a clear picture of what is happening in Iraq. It is as misleading regarding the situation in Iraq as has been Petreaus' previous claims. In his The Washington Post, 9/26/04 article Petreaus said, "Now, however, 18 months after entering Iraq, I see tangible progress. Iraqi security elements are being rebuilt from the ground up." It is so obvious that Petraeus was shielding the Bush Cheney misadministration from the truth in order to influence the November 2004 elections.

Now again in September of 2007 Petraeus is wrong. He has said the surge worked.

We get a different picture of the situation in Iraq from all other sources such as the one on page 51, of the Government Accounting Office report...

Hats off to the Daily Times for having the gumption to report the facts on this situation! Great job Rick Laney!
