Lies From Gen. Betrayus

General Betrayus is a military man constantly at war with the facts. In 2004, just before the election, he said there was “tangible progress“ in Iraq and that “Iraqi leaders are stepping forward.”

Washington Post, “Battling for Iraq,” by David H. Betrayus. 9/26/04

And last week Betrayus, the architect of the escalation of troops in Iraq , said ”We say we have achieved progress, and we are obviously going to do everything we can to build on that progress.”

The Australian, “Surge Working: Top US General,” by Dennis Shanahan. 8/31/07

Every independent report on the ground situation in Iraq shows that the surge strategy has failed. Check out"

GAO report, 9/4/07
NIE report, 8/23/07
Jones report, CSIS, 9/6/07

Yet the General claims a reduction in violence. That’s because, according to the New York Times, the Pentagon has adopted a bizarre formula for keeping tabs on violence. For example, deaths by car bombs don’t count.

You don't understand the Military do you FedUpAmerican, he has a code of conduct and he (you might have not thought of) knows what the others know. So he isn't going to lie and ruin his 30 some years of service and be known as a yes man. He also has clearances that allow him to know the whole plan and in a Military fashion he is stating his and his staffs position. Don't back set quarterback Him. Bush do as you like any politician deserves it IMHO!!
But a man who gives his life in the Military has honor and thinks differently than any civilian on all matters where life is concerned and mission orders are involved. besides you have the time to wait and see. But I don't like the fact he had to lay open his plan of action for now and later. puts the entire mission in a danger. For what a show and news bites. Nothing else has changed nor will it unless it gets worst.

Betrayus has a ***ing yellow streak up his back more thanbushys and any other "soldier" thats playing bushys game in Iraq.

COWARDS!

Each and EVERY one.

Plans by President Bush to announce a withdrawal of up to 30,000 U.S. troops from Iraq by next summer drew sharp criticism yesterday from Democratic leaders and a handful of Republicans in Congress, who vowed to try again to force Bush to accept a more dramatic change of policy.

What did you expect from a professional soldier -- betrayal of his Commander-in-Chief? Gimme a break. Stop attacking this hero. He's doing his job, which is to try to win this counterinsurgency. Counterinsurgencies are almost NEVER won, decisively. History clearly shows that. Fight the war, not the soldiers fighting it. And remember, if we pull out, MORE war will break out, with much higher stakes. BE MATURE IN YOUR JUDGMENT. Look to history for the answers, not bi-partisan politics. :liar:

I think when he looks in the mirror, he see's himself.

It does't matter if it's the "Wrong War", the US needs to finish the job.

Can ANY of you people that support the ILLEGAL OCCUPATION of Iraq even find Iraq on a map???

I HIGHLY doubt it.

bushy and General BETRAYUS need to stand trial for treason. The world will be much better without these puppets.
