#1 The General didn't give them any handles to grab onto, did he.

#2 I'd expect him to spin his report to say that his team won if there was any way possible to do it.

No, because the current crop of Democrats are not "his team".

#3 Interesting to take a look at the comments following the Corn article. Most of the commenters are on our side.

Does that mean that the smelly hippies are all away from their computers this afternoon? Or something more?

#5 The Donks don't want to face Petraeus in '12 or '16.

There is an old story about Ben Franklin who was the Royal Postmaster General for His Majesty's Government. The Privy Council called old Ben before them and gave him a rather nasty grilling and hammering and then the firing. Ben never forgot. One of his delights was working the Frenchies in 1777 to pay back those politicians. Careful who you abuse. Payback may be very distasteful and expensive in the future.
