WASHINGTON—Carl Levin just asked General David Petraeus about whether Nuri Kamal al-Maliki followed his advice in preparing military action against loyalists to Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr in his stronghold, Basra.

“I would not, no sir,” said Petraeus. When pressed, the general added, “It was not adequately planned or prepared.”

Sen Clinton just asked Gen Petraeus about guidelines determining progress in Iraq, asking: "How are we to judge..."
A far better question for Hillary and her surrender lobby to ask, is:
"WHO are we to judge..?"

IS IT ONLY WHEN SHE IS TRYING TO COVER UP FOR HER MISDEEDS AND BILL'S THAT SHE IS A FIGHTER?
.
THAT SHE'S A FIGHTER IS JUST ANOTHER ONE OF HER LIES ... WHEN THE REAL BULLETS START FLYING, SHE IMMEDAITELY SURRENDERS.

So let me see now. If Petraeus says the surge is working and we need to stay the course the Dems think he's a tool of Bush. But if he says the Basra operation was not well planned or prepared they think he's an oracle. Morons.
