Petraeus Report: Absolute Farce

I have mentioned repeatedly that in spite of what the White House and the media have been telling you, the upcoming "Petraeus Report" will actually be written by the White House, not the military general who has given it his name. Now it turns out that this report -- hollow as it is to be -- will not be written at all, not even when delivered to the President himself. I shit you not.

From The Washington Times:

A senior military officer said there will be no written presentation to the president on security and stability in Iraq. "There is no report. It is an assessment provided by them by testimony," the officer said.

The only hard copy will be Gen. Petraeus' opening statement to Congress, scheduled for Monday, along with any charts he will use in explaining the results of the troop surge in Baghdad over the past several months.

I'm just hoping that the presentation will include finger puppets. That may help Bush pay attention.
