"Despite Bush’s repeated statements that the report will reflect evaluations by Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, administration officials said it would actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government.
And though Petraeus and Crocker will present their recommendations on Capitol Hill, legislation passed by Congress leaves it to the president to decide how to interpret the report’s data."
Hmmmmm....
Let me guess: The report will show progress is being made, despite all evidence to the contrary. More money is needed. And we should all be thankful and grateful the Lord God gave us Dubya to...*ahem*...lead us in bringing democracy and...*cough*...freedom to the people of Iraq at our grandchildren's and great-grandchildren's expense, not to mention the lives of their fathers.
Since he knows history will deem his presidency to be the worst ever, he's trying to further manipulate it by writing Petraeus' report for him, then putting Petraeus out as a stooge to say whatever Dubya, his speechwriters and spinmeisters want.
