Will you view the petraeus speech with less or more credibility because of bush's suprise visit to iraq?

Question

Will petraeus give a bipartisan independant speech or will we be listerning to bush's prepared speech by a general betraeus?

Answer 1

Less credibility. Judging by all the writing on the wall, General "George Bush" Betrayus is going to cherry-pick the good things going on--and leave out all the bad things happening in Iraq right now.

Answer 2

Petraeus's speech will be another Bush and the globalists propaganda move. Petraeus cannot give a speech that would go against his commander in chief--his mouth, and hands, and career--are tied to the Bush administration. He does what he is told.

Answer 3

We will be listening to a prepared speech.

Whether it was prepared by Bush and the White House, with Patreaus as the lip-syncer -- or whether it was prepared by Patreaus to make him look good... the result is the same.

There already numerous examples of him deliberately misrepresenting the facts to put a very partisan spin on things. Such as only counting as "deaths" only those caused by religious conflict in his death total -- and ignoring all deaths that are caused by political conflict. That's just one example.

The bottom line is that his report is a propoganda piece and will very likely have little resemblence to the reality that is beign reported -- consistently -- by every other independent reporter and independent agency that is reviewing the facts.

Answer 4

I question Petraeus' credibility for several reasons (see coragryph's answer) including the fact that he wrote op eds supporting Bush before the 2004 election. Bush's visit has no bearing on my opinion.

Answer 5

What in the world does one have to do with the other?

Answer 6

It doesn't matter what he says, Dems have already made up their minds about it.
