Congressional Democrats are trying to undermine U.S. Army Gen. David H. Petraeusโ credibility before he delivers a report on the Iraq war next week, saying the general is a mouthpiece for President Bush and his findings canโt be trusted.
โThe Bush report?โ Senate Majority Whip Richard J. Durbin said when asked about the upcoming report from Gen. Petraeus, U.S. commander in Iraq.
โWe know what is going to be in it. Itโs clear. I think the presidentโs trip over to Iraq makes it very obvious,โ the Illinois Democrat said. โI expect the Bush report to say, โThe surge is working. Letโs have more of the same.โ โ
The top Democrats โ Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California โ also referred to the generalโs briefing as the โBush report.โ
