Petraeus Will Testify On September 11?

From the " You're Not Going To Believe This" file comes the latest news that General Petraeus will now testify in an open hearing before Congress on...(drum roll) September 11!

So now the Bush camp figuring it can't invoke the 9/11 attacks in the actual testimony puts it on that date. Coincodence? I think not, and neither do many others. This kind of not so subtile crap from the Bush White House has become standard fare, but this time it is so transparent I hope the American people will see through it and the myriad of time the "irony" of the date will be drummed up in the news.

Now, what will he say? Let's guess. Things are going well. Bright future for Iraq. Nothing but blue skys! Of course that is if you take out the roadside bombs, insurgents that have stepped up activity, and the AWOL Iraqi Parliment.

My guess is the GOP will interpret whatever is said as good and the democrats will see it as "mixed". The Dems are still affraid to stand up to Bush on his failed war, and this will be no different.
