The Washington Post writes that “few Iraqis paid much attention” to the testimonies of Gen. David Petraeus and Amb. Ryan Crocker:
“The Americans have hundreds of meetings and testimonies like this, and what has it done for the Iraqi people? Nothing,” said Allah Sadiq, 49, a carpenter in the capital’s Karrada district. “So why do we care? We just want all the foreigners to leave and stop causing disasters for our country.”
“I don’t even know who Petraeus and Crocker are,” said 31-year old shop owner Yasser Kadhoum al-Khafaji. “I think these sorts of things are more important for Americans than they are for Iraqis.” Most Iraqis interviewed “were more concerned about a day-long curfew” that shut down much of Baghdad. Among other grievances cited: “blocked sewage drains, militias attacking residents in the street, a dysfunctional government and frequent electricity outages.”

If the truth be told neither did I. I have followed this Administration and illegal invasion but Crocker was really never publicly announce or paid attention to. Now I know all the Generals and even the Shiites, Sunnies and Kurds. What has Crocker been doing all these years other then collecting a pay check. Petraeus is known by all the soldiers as a sell out. Most of our troops feel theirs no General looking out for their interest and their right. I did feel bad when Rummy and the Generals all said it wasn't their job to deal with the Pat Tillman's murder. But without a US Justice Department or a Supreme Court we see Leaders do as they please. Musk Rat is so funny it's sad. He worked his hold career and was thought of with respect until he sold his soul to Satan and became AG. Now Mark Filip is out right evil and would kill anyone to move up to the top job.
