Plenty.
Considering what's been happening in Iraq as of late--it doesn't surprise me that Betrayus puts a glossy spin on everything going bad in the war.
It's his job to lie and stretch the truth. That's what the military gets paid to do these days.
Just like they did in Vietnam.

Well, you make a rather one-sided claim for someone who provides no link(s) to back their bias. That said....
Perhaps these might help illustrate some of discrepancies between the GAO and Petraeus Reports. For example, US sources say 165 died in Baghdad; Iraqi Int. Ministry says 428 (from morgue and hospital records). It's easier to claim a significant reduction in violence if one doesn't count sectarian violence or car bombings. This might help for starters in examining and comparing the reports:
-- GAO Report (non-partisan):

-- Testimony, recent reports not always on same page:

To get a different and reputable perspective, you can visit this website for articles from independent journalists in Iraq:
http://dahrjamailiraq.com/
Dahr Jamail is U.S.-based (non-embedded) specialist writer on Iraq who travels extensively in the region. Some of his articles have been appeared in The Nation, The (UK) Guardian and Foreign Policy in Focus. Ali al-Fadhily (Ali Fadhil) is a doctor and correspondent in Baghdad who works in close collaboration with Dahr Jamail. Ali al-Fadhily was featured in the documentary, "Iraq's Missing Billions" following his efforts to track down money that was supposed to be spent on reconstruction.

None. All of the fiction came from liberals claiming "unnamed sources" to back up their bull crap. They can't put a name to these sources because they're not real.
Here's an answer to the stories about Admiral Fallon and General Petraeus. They quote Admiral Fallon, not some unnamed source. It is you who who comes across as being laughable and predictable (not to mention lame).
I don't despise Democrats; however, I can't stand idiots.

This question is proof that the left has a stranglehold on hate, and a lack of reason as well.

What credible reports are you referring to? I don't see any links for any of these credible reports.
