However, in the back of my mind I was thinking maybe since he's a General, there is a possiblity he would have dignity and therefore not do any of that. But when the report came it removed all doubt about that possibly happening, and showed that Generals don't necessarily have any dignity. It became very clear that the Gen. was a sham just like Bush, Rummy, Condi and all the rest.
So, only if Patreus had concluded that we were in over our heads and needed to begin a withdrawal from Iraq, would he have been telling the truth. How is this any less of a "prejudiced" perspective than is the "you're a pack of traitors if you don't support the President" stance that the Hannity Zombie crowd takes?
