WHY are not these proceedings–STILL–not covered on any major media outlets? and WHEN will these testifiers be allowed to appear before a Congressional Comittee where they can be questioned and grilled as PETRAEUS was allowed to do? Do not our thousands of SOLDIERS count as much as one general?
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO–RIOT IN THE STREETS as WE DID IN THE 1960′S? Evidently so.
