I was listening to Meet The Press over the weekend, and I really started to feel for General Petraeus. Russert was interviewing Senators Reed and Hagel (two of my favorites, let me tell you) and a great question was posed:
"You voted to confirm General Petraeus to head the unit—oversee our troops in Iraq, along with Senator Hagel. Senator McCain asked this question: “Suppose we send you over to your new job ... only we tell you that you can’t have any additional troops. Can you get your job done?” Lieutenant General Petraeus: ‘No, sir.’” Why would you vote to confirm him and then oppose giving him the troops he says he needs to get the job done? "
General Petraeus is voted in unanimously, only to be denied troops later?
Their answer was pathetic. Garbage about this non-binding, gutless vote was against the President's plan and nothing to do with the General. And yet, it was the General who said he needed these troops to get his job done! Petraeus stated from the beginning that he needed the troops, he was going to ask for these troops, and without them he could not succeed in Iraq. Why on earth would these Senators vote him in if they didn't agree with this troop surge?!? Talk about your typical crap hypocritical politicians.
If you want to see the Meet The Press transcript, go here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17168627/page/4/
I feel for you General Petraeus. There's nothing more frustrating than to be hired to do a job, but then denied the very tools necessary to get the job done...

To our surprised, there is a long story behind those Christian Louboutin shoes
displayed on the Milan and Paris Fashion Week. So that men can not understand why the women like Christian Louboutin Sandals
without protest despite the most fashionable styles they are. In that period of luxury pursuit, 5-inch pointed Christian Louboutin Pumps
were produced which was finally prohibited to proceed because it is impossible to walk with it. From the development of Christian Louboutin Boots |

The most popular sneakers online shop. All Juicy Outlet are guaranteed authentic. There are so many great things about this shoe but..it is not very durable! I wore these Chanel Handbag for about 3 monthes and the bottom started to come off:I am getting a new pair because i LOVE them sooo much! Wish they didn't break! Chanel have new arrivals from nike sneakers for girls. Today we present Nike Air Jordan, this air jordans comes in white, pure purple and neon turquoise. These shoes are very lightweight which is great for someone like me. Cheap Jordans are very comfortable on the one foot I do have. The Juicy Couture Handbags locks my foot into place so I know I am less likely to get hurt while playing hard. |
