What's curious is that congressional Democrats don't seem much interested in what's actually happening in Iraq. The commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, returns to Washington this week, but last week Pelosi's office said "scheduling conflicts" prevented him from briefing House members. Two days later, the members-only meeting was scheduled, but the episode brings to mind the fact that Pelosi and other top House Democrats skipped a Pentagon videoconference with Petraeus on March 8.What the hell is more important than hearing Gen. Petraeus' assessment of the war? What?!? Damn it, I want to know! It's fine to be a coward Defeatocrat, but there are men dying everyday so they can have a campaign platform to run on, so I would like to think they should be able to find a few minutes to listen to Petraeus talk.
As Howard Dean once said: "I have not yet begun to not fight!"
