Krauthammer on Petraeus' congressional appearance

The general won it hands down, despite the Move On slime, and the lame snarling of Hillary Clinton.


Excerpts:


"For all the attempts by Democrats and the antiwar movement to discredit Petraeus, he won the congressional confrontation hands down."



"
Just carrying this battle to its successful conclusion -- independent of its larger effect of helping stabilize Iraq -- is justification enough for the surge. The turning of Sunni Iraq against al-Qaeda is a signal event in the war on terrorism. Petraeus's plan is to be allowed to see it through."


Cue the sound of much wailing and gnashing of teeth from Dems/Lefties/"Progressives" of all stripes

It's time for them to give it a break.


Noteworthy:

"Simply put, the MoveOn people are a gift to the GOP," Republican consultant Dan Hazelwood told Washington Post political blogger Chris Cillizza right after the ad came out.

He is right."
