Patraeus in crossfire of political campaigns(usatoday.com)

Top officials of the Iraq War General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker had to answer questions from the senate on tuesday. At least from the Democratic moninee's Clinton and Obama. McCain on the other hand sat there and gushed complements toward the two, stating "the congress must not choose to lose in Iraq." As though it's as simple as that, "we should instead choose to succeed".
