Iraq Evaluation Written By The White House?

LATIMES

Despite Bush's repeated statements that the report will reflect evaluations by Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, administration officials said it would actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government.

During internal White House discussion of a July interim report, some officials urged the administration to claim progress in policy areas such as legislation to divvy up Iraq's oil revenue, even though no final agreement had been reached. Others argued that such assertions would be disingenuous.

   Ten bucks says that the September report has already been written a month or so back, especially if the White House is doing the writing.

  Come on people, are we really to believe anything that comes out of General Petraeus's mouth or from out of the mouth of the White House?

  I guess that it hasn't dawned on the Bush Crime Family that only 28% of the population still has their heads stuck up their asses or either still buried in the sand.
