Hot seat and Popcorn

It’s going to be interesting today to see what General Petraeus has to say about the progress of the “surge”, while at the same time trying to deflect the fighting in Basra, Sadr City and what seems to be the daily mortar attacks on the Green Zone.

I believe the testimony will begin at 9am, eastern time and I’m fairly sure you can watch it on C-span or at their website. It might be a little early in the day for popcorn, but you know it’s going to be an interesting show. It would be nice if the cable news channels gave this the uninterrupted coverage they gave Anna Nichole’s death and subsequent events.

Let’s say that you are one of the Senators who will be given an opportunity to question General Petraeus, what would you want to ask him? Do you think you would get a truthful answer?

I know I sure wouldn’t want to be in Petraeus’ boots today.
