shifting the blame to Petraeus

When we listen to General Petraeus, we hear the generals of Vietnam assuring us that they are winning. Generals are not independent thinkers. They serve the political goals of the administration. We can't expect independent, honest assessments of the situation.

The Republicans are trying to make the war on Iraq as a Petraeus War, to shift the blame. He follows policy, he doesn't make policy.
