John Edwards’ Questions For David Petraeus
September 7, 2007, 11:22pm
Army Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of American troops in Iraq, is scheduled to testify before Congress next week about the progress of military operations there. Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has a few questions that he thinks Petraeus should have to answer.
Edwards posed them in an interview with Josh Marshall of the liberal blog Talking Points Memo: “Has there been significant political progress? If not, can you give us any indication that you see that progress coming? … If the answer to those questions is ‘no’ [Edwards said he believes they are], how many American troops, how many American lives are we going to lose? How many more billions of American taxpayer money are we going to spend waiting for them to do something?”
In the Senate, meanwhile, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., is promising “another whack at Iraq” come Sept. 17-18. In an interview with PoliticsTV, Reid also discussed the search for someone to replace Alberto Gonzales as attorney general, among other topics.
