| Description | In a rare move for a uniformed officer, Lt. Gen. David Petraeus, considered a shoo-in to become America’s next top commander in Iraq, jumped into the political fray of his nomination hearing.
Prompted by presidential hopeful and Armed Services Committee ranking member Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Petraeus spoke out against congressional attempts to pass resolutions of disapproval on the new White House strategy in Iraq, which includes a troop increase of 21,500.
In response to a question from McCain regarding the effect of such congressional resolutions on troops, Petraeus said, “It would not be a beneficial effect, sir.” |
