Issa: Blackwater Hearings Are Attack on Gen. Petraeus Rep. Carl Issa (R-CA) accused Democrats in the House Oversight and Government Reform Hearing on Blackwater of turning the hearing into a "repeat of the MoveOn.org attack on General Petraeus's patriotism." The only time General Petraeus's name was mentioned was when Rep. John Tierney (D-MA) said the use of private contractors in the Iraq war "seems to be harming the very counterinsurgency effort that Gen. Petraeus seems to want to implement."

Petraeus Backpedals on Victory Remark Gen. David Petraeus backpedaled on his previous statement before the Senate Armed Services Committee that he did not know if victory in Iraq would make America safer. Questioned about his earlier remark, Petraeus told Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN), "Having focused down and down and down [on Iraq] at first glance, that was something I'd let others above me answer." A four-star general and Commander of the Coalition Forces in Iraq, and he gets confused over whether the war will make America safer, or would pass that to his chain of command to answer? Notice how Petraeus holds his head down the entire time he answers. Very uncharacteristic. Tags: petraeus senate hearing iraq victory safe |

Petraeus, Crocker Block DeMint's Iran Agenda Many neoconservatives, especially Dick Cheney and George Bush, are beating the drums for war against Iran. Included in that group is Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC), who failed to further the cause in today's Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the Petraeus Report on Iraq. DeMint posed questions to Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Crocker about Iran, obviously seeking answers to heighten concerns about Iran's involvement in Iraq. Instead, Crocker and Petraeus told DeMint Iran posed a limited threat.
