G.O.P planning on spinning the Petraeus report.

The Washington Post reports:

Senior congressional aides said yesterday that the White House has proposed limiting the much-anticipated appearance on Capitol Hill next month of Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker to a private congressional briefing, suggesting instead that the Bush administration's progress report on the Iraq war should be delivered to Congress by the secretaries of state and defense. LA Times ran a similiar story.


So in other words it appears the Bush administration wants to shied the full report on Iraqi progress. The Republicans are using this war as a political tool, simple as that.
