That's today's headline and it reflects a curious point of view, which is that American senators oppose an important American general who is in charge of a major military undertaking. Are we not all on the same team? Do we not all want the same thing: whatever is best for America? Can Democrats not listen objectively to the testimony of an American general without questioning his honesty and motives?
The short answer is no. Actually, it doesn't matter what General Petraeus says or that he may be brilliant or that he may be an expert in military strategy and tactics. It doesn't matter that Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker were careful to a fault, that they made no unsupported claims or any promises at all. It doesn't matter that Petraeus and Crocker were offering their best judgments based on their experiences in Iraq. It only matters that Democrats want what they want, which is victory in November. Nothing else matters.
