There Is No Petraeus Report

Unbelievable.

A major political event unfolding Monday will be the report to President Bush by Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander in Iraq, and U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan C. Crocker.

A senior military officer said there will be no written presentation to the president on security and stability in Iraq. "There is no report. It is an assessment provided by them by testimony," the officer said.

The only hard copy will be Gen. Petraeus' opening statement to Congress, scheduled for Monday, along with any charts he will use in explaining the results of the troop surge in Baghdad over the past several months.

Because if there actually was a written, binding report, it would require evidence.

Or some truth could slip out, like saying that the political progress "has not worked out as we had hoped."

The Dems got completely and utterly played top to bottom on this one. And now they're looking to make a toothless "compromise" on withdrawal and the "leaders" running for President are silent.
