Wow. But, who gets promoted in corporations the fastest? Ass-kissing little chickenshits. So I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, but it is a little surprising that the guy just came out and said that to him. Pretty cool too. Well, Fallon ain't going nowhere. You just don't when you lay down the cards like that. It makes people uncomfortable.

Great observation!
 
JON STEWART: The general raises a key point. We keep hearing from President Bush how the surge is meeting its military objectives, but we need more time. Well, yesterday, the good general was whistling a different tune.

GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: The military objectives of the surge are, in large measure, being met. It will take time.

JON STEWART: My god! The President’s been right the whole time! Even down to the details.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: US Marines and Special Operation forces have been striking terrible blows against al-Qaeda.

GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: Coalition and Iraqi forces have dealt significant blows to al-Qaeda.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: Anbar province was al-Qaeda's base in Iraq and was written off by many as lost.

GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: A year ago the province was assessed as lost.

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: The consequences of withdrawal would be disastrous.

GEN. DAVID PETRAEUS: A premature drawdown of our forces would likely have devastating consequences.

JON STEWART: Wow! I bet they’re friends on MySpace.

Well, it's giving us the actual news anyway. What a country when you have to tune into a comedy show to actually get the news. Why didn't abc, nbc or "seebeebullshit" the "liberal media" run those statements back to back, and show the American people wtf is actually going on?

You can see bush's hand up the guy's ass making him talk for christ sakes.

It's pathetic, isn't it?

I don't know if you even bother with CNN anymore, but there is one journalist who is totally nailing it. For years now. He is balls to the wall, and he is reporting the truth, and trashing the spin.

Its that Austrialian guy that works for CNN in Iraq. He's on Anderson coopers show a lot. Michael Ware...do you ever check him out?

Alternate scenerio:

Things are so f'd in Iraq they ain't never going to be made right. The right knows this. They are running out the clock so the pull out, or "admittance" comes on the next President's watch, who many of them believe will be a democrat. The right wing machine spend the four years of the dem's presidency doing what they do best; creating the faux narrative. If only we had followed the "Patreaus plan" Instead, the Democrats, cut and run. Now there is chaos in the middle east and America isn't safe. We need someone with balls to be President in 2012.

Who's that man?

Why is it that whenever someone writes of the sacking of Mosul, the fact that the police and the army either changed sides or abandoned their posts, NO ONE EVER says a word about the inept running of that sector by Patraeus? 41 million ($40,000,000) dollars of military equipment VANISHED! WTF!?!? How is that not an offense worthy of being relieved of command? How does that not "go on your permenant record"? How do you skate the responsibility of placing the very people that ran off with all that shit in the position that allowed them to do that very thing?

$40,000,000???? Not a big deal... that is like a dozen toilet seats. Not the least bit newsworthy.
