Gen. Petraeus is now appearing before the joint Senate Committees (Armed Services and Foreign Relations. This should be interesting because between the two Senate committees there are five presidential candidates on those committees: H. Clinton, B. Obama, J. McCain, J. Biden, and C. Dodd.
Who are the Republican Senators that might not be willing to wait for more substantive progress to be made in Iraq? Sen. Norm Coleman (MN), Sen. Susan Collins (ME), Sen. Chuck Hagel (NE), Sen. Gordon Smith (OR), Sen. Olympia Snowe (ME), Sen. Richard Lugar (IN), Sen. John Warner (VA), and John Sununu (NH).
Sorry, it's not a joint committee meeting. Gen. Petraeus is appearing before the Foreign Relations Comm. this morning and the Armed Services Comm. this afternoon.
Biden points out that there are 1000 attacks a week in Iraq and we are calling that success.
The hearing is being live blogged here at the UK Guardian.
