Gen. Petraeus: 'War Going Great, See You In Six Months' (Pt. II)

General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker took their fancy charts over to the Senate today.

Reuters has a clinical report on the testimony. TPM was following it all day with video clips... here's the 'highlights': Sen. Feingold questions our foreign policy priorities; Sen. Lieberman asks Petraeus if we can invade Iran yet; Sen. Dodd questions the general state of Iraq; Sen. Reed catches Petraeus on the troop drawdown kabuki; Sen. Martinez wonders who our enemy is; and finally the General makes the telling admission that he 'doesn't know' if victory makes America safer.

The fun continues all week with press interviews tomorrow and a Bush speech on Thursday.
