[Peace-discuss] Is David Petraeus a 'Lying Liar' About the Drawdown?

[Robert Naiman]

In pushing for more time for the "surge" to "work," David Petraeus is
doing exactly what he promised in November 2009 he would *not* do: ask
for more than 18 months for the "surge" to "work," if the "surge"
didn't "work" within 18 months. If Mr. Petraeus' clear statement in
November 2009 that he would not ask for more time can not now be
trusted, why should Congress and the American people trust anything
else he has to say about the drawdown?
