Is David Petraeus a "Lying Liar" About the Drawdown?
Robert Naiman, Truthout: "'Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them' was former non-Sen. Al Franken's 2003 examination of the lies and distortions of right-wing pundits and politicians. Such a book, if it were written today, should certainly include a fair and balanced look at some of the lying liars still running our foreign policy: in particular, at Mr. David Petraeus."

From Churchill to Petraeus
Michael N. Nagler, Truthout: "'I have not become her Majesty's first minister to preside over the dissolution of the British Empire.' It was hard not to remember this proud declaration of Winston Churchill, as wrong headed as it was confident, when General Petraeus argued last Sunday that he had 'not come to Afghanistan to preside over a graceful exit.' Can we, unlike many, unfortunately, who will be persuaded by his reasons to delay withdrawing troops from Afghanistan until the 'job' is done, draw some lessons from the instructive parallel?"
