Can Petraeus really give a 'frank assessment' of Iraq occupation while feeding it to us through FOX?

Petraeus promises frank assessment in Iraq benchmark report

Thursday, August 9, 2007

The commander of coalition forces in Iraq said he won't "pull any punches" in the Iraqi benchmark report due to Congress by Sept. 15.

The report will reflect both tactical progress being made in Iraq and areas that still need work, Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of Multinational Force Iraq, said Wednesday on Fox News Radio's Alan Colmes Show.

"I have vowed that I will provide a forthright and comprehensive assessment," he said during an interview from Baghdad.

1. Here's the forthright assessment:

Progress is being made, Iraq is more secure, shops are opening, children are laughing, lovers are holding hands, and we need to give this...well, whatever it is we're doing...more time to succeed. Like, another six months. Or twelve. At least until 2009.

2. No, But His Assessments Are About The Same Size and Shape as a Frank

lets just leave it at that.
