Will Petraeus Fess Up to The Iraq Mess?

According to Americablog, maybe not:

"A new report from the Pentagon flat-out contradicts the rosy view of Iraq that top-US general David Petraeus tried to peddle only a few weeks ago. The report says that violence is getting worse, in spite of the surge, and that "it was too soon to judge whether the security crackdown was working." Contrast that with General Petraeus leaking to ABC, only two weeks ago, news that he's already seen enough progress to decide that come this September he's going to call the surge such a success that he wants it to continue twice as long."

I'll say one thing, if he comes out and paints this rosy picture for Congress, and they continue to follow along, then they will have no excuse for their ignorance, and the public will continue their downward spiral towards apathy and loathing for government. Of course this is exactly what Bush wants.
