Clyburn: Positive Report by Petraeus Could Split House Democrats on War

[GaryC 7]

With the way the administration has handled facts and the truth about this war, I would be vary hard pressed to take a report, from someone who for all we know is just saying what the administration wants him to say. Especially when many other organizations show conditions to be the opposite of the administration says they are.

The report was from the Brookings institute. They have issued many scathing reports on the war in the past. I saw an interview with them on CNN and Criss Mathews. Mathews did his best to discount what was reported but the reporter stuck by his guns.

Which one?

Shows the surge is not working, but making things worse

Is about Iraq falling into civil war.

I don't see how any reports from the Brookings Institute is making your case that things are improving.

This one.
