#1 ...I'm wondering when the character assassination of General Petraeus will start. He's way too popular and respected for the Dhimmis, and if they can;'t find a way to torpedo the message, they'll do it to the messenger. Could very well be why they don't want Petreaus to deliver the report himself, but rather the tame Trunks of the Administration.

#2 It's already started, with CNN. From Hugh Hewitt yesterday:

CNN released a new opinion poll today, and it appears that the slime campaign on General David Petraeus has now officially begun with a month to go before his report to Congress. CNN claimed on their Situation Room that only 28% of responders would be more likely to support the war if Petraeus reports the surge is showing signs of progress, 72% wouldn't. And worse news, if one were to believe this poll, only 43% of those polled trusted Petraeus to give an accurate report in September, while 53% said they don't trust the top U.S. military commander in Iraq.

#3 The ultimate irony: The seventh-century terrorists win and those who habitually demonized American military operations will themselves lose as well.

Yeah, but the demonizers will be glad.

And then they'll start complaining again.

#5 David is probably the most non corrupt and effective public servant in the US government. I AM so proud of this professional. If one congress person tries to assassinate his character, I shall take them and their state to the woodshed.
