The Petraeus & Crocker Show

Friends,
A summation of the Crocker & Petraeus Show. This is from the Washington Post.
Peace and Love,

"What worked in September -- an overall sense of progress that gave the Bush administration additional time to pursue its "surge" policy of sending nearly 30,000 more troops to Iraq -- sparked little enthusiasm this time among lawmakers who had hoped for a brighter light at the end of the tunnel. Much of their frustration appeared to stem from a realization that there was little they could do to affect policy in the administration's final nine months."
