Despite Bush's repeated statements that the report will reflect evaluations by Petraeus and Ryan Crocker, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, administration officials said it would actually be written by the White House, with inputs from officials throughout the government.
And though Petraeus and Crocker will present their recommendations on Capitol Hill, legislation passed by Congress leaves it to the president to decide how to interpret the report's data.
The only thing that surprises me about this is that the White House admitted it.
Perhaps we should e-mail this story to a few of those right wing blogs and then ask them to apologize for giving us shit about being skeptical about this report. Because as usual we were right.
thank you for being right....
