General meets his match

Senators seemed to be quiet on top of Petraeus and Crocker. If things were going so smoothly over in Iraq then why were they sio reluctant to come home? The senator that was so on top of the two was senator himself Barack Obama. He bombed them with a quiet impressive number of artful questions. He asked two main questions one of which is what we should rather do to sustain the fighting in aIraq and another to why is Iran such a threat to Iraq and yet the leaders get greated with such ease? So what are we really doing over there just fighting or playing little mind games between one another?
