Listen to Chabot question Petraeus

Rep. Steve Chabot, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, got the chance to question Army Gen. David Petraeus for himself last Monday. So what did he ask?

CHABOT: "Could you comment on the current morale of our troops in Iraq?"

PETRAEUS: "I believe that our morale is solid. But it is an individual thing and it depends on the kind of day that that individual has had. Our soldiers are determined. They know how import this task is and that it is a crucial factor in what they are doing. ... I've got to be up front, you know, none of us want to stay in Iraq forever. We all want to come home. We all have days of frustration and all the rest of that. But what we want to do is to come home the right way."

Listen to more of Chabot's exchange with Petraeus for yourself on THIS LINK from C-SPAN.

Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which was also included at the Petraeus hearing, also asked Petraeus a question. Listen to him at the same place.

Note that Rep. Mike Turner also is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, although a clip of his questions was not available from C-SPAN.

Read the Petraeus' report for yourself HERE.

Local blind Gay Old Party reps lob softball questions at Betray-us:

"General, are you a great General, or are you the GREATEST general of all times?"

Pathetic!
