Will Harry Reid Regret Saying "Listen to the Generals"?   [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

From Fox News Sunday:

Chris Wallace: General, we have less than a minute left. Let's get to the bottom line here. Do you feel that we can still win in Iraq, that we can leave behind a stable, democratic government?

Gen. Petraeus: Chris, if I didn't believe that, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be leading the finest of young American men and women who are putting their lives on the line every day. In the last two weeks, I’ve gone to memorial ceremonies, one of which was for four soldiers lost in one unit, another for six soldiers lost in one unit. And I can tell you that as you sit there at that, you obviously reflect on that particular question. And again, I think that there is good prospect for progress in the months ahead, that hopefully can be matched by progress in the political and economic arenas here in Iraq, and again, can give us hope for the way ahead.
