Petraeus Day

So after Gen. David Petraeus and Amb. Ryan Crocker give their long awaited testimony on the surge before Congress today they're going over to Fox for their only interview? Glad to see the White House is reaching out to critics. Anyone who's watched the administration and the Republican candidates could only think that Iraq is now completely turned around and the subsiding violence Al Anbar province--the name was invoked so many times during last week's GOP presidential people might have wondered who this Albert Anbar guy is. If you've been following the myriad reports questioning the progress in Iraq and read the tour de force piece in the Washington Post on Sunday showing the continued levels of dissent in the highest ranks of the military about this surge, you'd be despairing. That the administration only sees fit to have Fox cross examine its leading surrogates is depressing.
