No report, thorough or incomplete, honest or fraudulent could justify the continuation of an illegal occupation, one that the American people voted to end over 10 months ago. Were violence in Iraq really down, that would be a reason to end the occupation. That violence is actually up is also a reason to end the occupation.
But a fraudulent report bearing the president's signature, if intended to mislead Congress, constitutes a felony and an impeachable offense.
Click to Tell Congress they must impeach Bush and Cheney if the Petraeus Report is fraudulent.
The "Petraeus" report is a report from the president. The Los Angeles Times reported on August 15, 2007:
"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 Betray Us Report is expected to contradict a recent Government Accounting Office Report, the GAO Report itself having been watered down by the Pentagon.
Petraeus already imposed happier conclusions on a National Intelligence Estimate.
The Associated Press reports twice the death rate from war in Iraq this year over last year. The death rate is also up sharply for U.S. troops in Iraq.
Petraeus' expected claims of reduced violence in Iraq are disputed by so many experts and reports that even the Washington Post takes notice.
The "surge" failed to achieve political reconciliation.
More of the evidence Petraeus is expected to contradict is found in Key Questions on the White House Report and Petraeus-Crocker Testimony By John Podesta, Lawrence J. Korb, Brian Katulis
A preview of the Betray Us Report may be found in Petraeus' September 7th letter to troops.
UPDATE September 7, 2007: We are now told there will be no written report. Producers and editors should immediately ban the word Petraeus and not go within a mile of his testimony, but they won't. Congress should demand his report or send him packing, but it won't.
