Good questions…

…from Steve Soto.

1. General, since the surge hasn't delivered what it promised, where's the Plan B? For that matter, where the hell is any plan at all?
2. Why is General Petraeus giving an exclusive interview to Fox tonight?
3. Why do the Iraqis feel the surge has been a failure?
4. Why are you manipulating statistics to make your case?
5. What pressure was brought upon the Prime Minister to follow the script one more time, after he said just last week that he could find other friends? Why is al-Maliki making the same discredited claims about violence reduction, if he isn’t reading from the same script?
6. Why are we taking steps that appear to be aimed at a long-term provocative presence in Iraq?

I wish I thought the General read The Left Coaster. I wish he would, just this once.

Because somebody should ask him.
