Forget the Petraeus report on Iraq. The bush hogs will cut it down anyway. Check the Washington Post report of the Congressionally-mandated GAO report on Iraq that was leaked to prevent its evisceration.

  • I'm re=reading "In the Company of Soldiers", by Rick Atkinson. He won the Pulitzer Prize for An Army at Dawn, a history of the World War II North African campaign. This guy knows his stuff. I mention it because of your reference to Petraeus. In this book Atkinson was imbedded(?) with the 101st Airborne in Iraq which was commandeed at the time by, you guessed it, then Maj. Gen. Petraeus. He shadowed Petraeus everywhere. Interesting.
