Why Wait For Petraeus?

September 2, 2010 by admin

No need to wait for the General Petraeus report on the Iraq War. You already
know what it is going to say. So just replay these fall reports from the
generals of another war 40 years ago.

Remember these statement were made just months before the Tet Offensive hit the Man.

GENERAL WESTMORELAND: Very very encouraged. I've never been more encouraged during my entire, almost four years in this country. I think we're making real progress. Everybody is very optimistic that I know of, who is intimately associated with our effort there.

GENERAL EARLE WHEELER (Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff): We feel that on the military side there has been substantial progress over the past two years, that in the last six months, the progress has been even more rapid than in the 18 months before that.
