WASHINGTON — Army Gen. David Petraeus' congressional testimony this week is likely to generate plenty of sound, fury and analysis in Washington , but not much change in America's policy in Iraq .

The Democrats who control the Senate and the House of Representatives may threaten to put restrictions on the next round of war funding. Some may try to impose timetables for withdrawal.

They'll probably quiz Petraeus on his opinions about those strategies when the U.S. commander in Iraq testifies before two Senate committees Tuesday and appears before House panels on Wednesday.

[red states rule]

Dems will stil push for surrender and appeasement

Dems will ignore all the progress and good news

They will talk down to Gen Petraeus, ask one sided questions, and then not allow him to answer

Pretty such the same old same old from the party that wants to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory
