1000 – Pentagon Briefing: Multi-National Force-Iraq Commander GEN David Petraeus speaks with reporters at the Pentagon, providing an update on ongoing security operations in Iraq. (Live, VoD, Podcast) Encore presentation at 1500hrs. The Speaker of the House will visit our enemies in Syria, but won’t attend the General’s update. At least YOU can hear about the progress being made firsthand at www.pentagonchannel.mil



CriticalFacts
Actually, Pelosi is reported to have had a 30 minute personal phone conference with the general on Tuesday. A scheduling conference prevented her from attending the update. And, BTW, where was McCain during the update? Campaigning on the east coast, perhaps?

The fact remains Sharon/CF/Richard, that each and every one of the people in Congress should have had their butts right there in that briefing listening to what the General had to say. Instead they’re all too busy playing their political games and promoting their personal agendas.
CriticalFacts
Ah, political agendas. Perhaps these polititians have agendas, much like Bush, Cheney and Wolfowitz and an agenda when they misled this country into a pre-emptive war with Iraq. Thank you, Terri, for reminding me again how political agendas work.

Oh you mean like the ones that Bill/Hill always kowtowed to instead of doing the “people’s work”? Richard honestly. You must keep yourself in stitches!!
