MSNBC, known as liberal forum is one of the least watched cable news outlets. Significantly behind Fox which has six times its viewers. The snarling Olberman paints everything with a left wing brush. I thought that Petraeus did a candid and well thought out assesment of the situation in Iraq, not sugar coating it, but showing progress in many areas, both political and militarily, but at the same time explaining that continuing progress was not assured and would certainly be threatened by a precipitous draw down of troops. McCain correctly pointed out recent progress in distinction to the conduct of the war in the past four years and warned of the peril associated with an irresponsible draw down. Legislators who felt that Iraq should assume a more significant financial role in rebuilding infrastructure and military costs were right on point. Petraeus and Crocker advised they would press this point. The dolts at MSNBC accused Petreaus and Croker as "Dancing around" questions because they refused to devine the rate of future progress in Iraq. This, of course is impossible and they were right not to fall into this trap. Hillary's time was largely spent giving her own assessment of things, and listening to her I was wondering if there would be question in there some place. I don't think Obama hurt himself.
Obama had a smug and condescending look on his face for most of his appearance.. I found this humorous as he is so wet behind the ears that I'm surprised he can even phrase an intelligent question as to military strategy.
I'm a couple of days late, but that link only takes me to the MSNBC page so I'm not sure the article. However I have to agree with Vic about Olberman. He has no credibility with me.
