Reasonablib discovered 3 months ago- It's Time to Challenge Gen. Petraeus by Tom Andrews Dear Members of the House Armed Services Committee, As a former member of your Committee, I urge you to pursue some of the troubling questions that were left unanswered by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker during today's hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee. The most serious is whether the surge of U.S. forces is making things worse, not better in Iraq both militarily and politically. In addition, can we afford to continue to fund sectarian combatants who have not shown the slightest inclination to compromise and reconcile? It is crucial that General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker be challenged on these crucial points and that you use the opportunity of your hearing to separate myth from reality in Iraq.

- Common sense and decency does not apply here-- our failed policy for controlling Iraq and Afghanistan should be terminated. I'm wondering if, like Hitler, the policy makers are willing to destroy even America in their single-minded drive to win.

- I think such hearings are a waste of time for the committees which indulge in them. There are no facts available that are not colored by the prejudices of either the questioner or the answerer. In some cases the members of the committee deliberately ask questions of opinion (just for the record). It is bad politics made worse by congressional endorsement.
