Well they would look bad if the media would run tapes of his confirmation hearing (Senators talking about him in positive terms) and then running tapes of the same Senators at the more recent hearings. The man has a Ph.D. in International Relations from Princeton, has taught at Georgetown and did is Masters degree at Oxford. He has a better education than the people who were grilling him. But since the media doesn't point any of this out, the Democrats look the same as they did last week.

I don't really think there's much difference. The Republicans asked and were just as hard on Petraeus as the Democrats which was a little surprising to me. The General handled the hearing well. I was disappointed that he would not answer Senator John Warner's question on whether the war in Iraq is making America any safer. He didn't answer and that non-answer spoke volumes.

worse! The "moveon.org" group, that the dems like so much, ran a full page add in the New York Times BEFORE Petraeus testified. Seems a bit pre-mature to blast him before he spoke.
In addition the ad cost them MUCH less than a typical ad would be. They got a special rate because of its contents - as per the liberal CNN.

They look worse than worse to me. The New York Times is equally bad, and moveon.org........all a bunch of dishonest and greedy people who do not know what PATRIOTISM means. Ugh.

They look wretched to me. I just disliked liberals before, but seeing how they conduct themselves in front of Patraeus I am ashamed of a lot of them. It is absolutely despicable. It is just to bad the media refuses to show the people what the likes of Hillary and Obama said to that honorable man. I the public was exposed to their actions and words, it would be the end of the road for some presidential hope-fulls.

Much much better. Bush looks like a fool (again) with his babbling about "fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them here".
Petraeus' directly contradicted Bush by refusing to link Iraq with 9/11 and also by saying it was unclear that the war has made us safer.

I don't think any thing can make the the Democrats look better. They remind me of my kids, they keep looking and looking, but in the end they don't know what it is they are looking for. If they did'nt have the Repubicans to talk about they would'nt know what to say.

nether, they are in a no win situation if they would have attack the general they would have played into the hands of the Conservative. by being soft on the general and keeping the focus on the President and his failed policy and his running of this war.

Worst in my opinion, they look like lap dogs for moveon.org.
