"Another big day on Capitol Hill. General Petraeus testified again today before Congress about the Iraq war. Some Democrats are claiming that Petraeus' answers are scripted by President Bush. Which explains Petraeus' use of the word 'surgerrific.'" --Conan O'Brien

One Million Iraqi Deaths
A car bomb blew up in
the capital's Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at
least four people, as a new survey suggested that
the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million.
The figure from ORB, a British polling agency that has conducted several surveys
in Iraq, followed statements this week from the U.S. military defending itself
against accusations it was trying to play down Iraqi deaths to make its strategy
appear successful.
"Petraeus gave his progress report on Iraq to Congress. Many of the senators commented to the general. Senator Barbara Boxer said Petraeus was overly optimistic; Mel Martinez of Florida thanked the general; Senator Larry Craig of Idaho said, 'There's something about a man in uniform.'" --Jay Leno

Another Bush Surge - Iraq Loses Religious Freedoms
Religious freedom has sharply deteriorated in Iraq over the past year because of both the insurgency and violence targeting specific faiths, despite the U.S. military buildup intended to improve security, says a State Department report to be released Friday.
General Petraeus admitted under questioning by GOP Senator John Warner that he doesn't know if the war in Iraq makes us safer. Everyone was shocked by the question and the response. President Bush was so furious he canceled both of their knighthoods.- Argus Hamilton

From Dan Froomkin's Column
Jon Stewart had Bush biographer Robert Draper on his show last night, and
marveled at Draper's access to the president: "He was either disarmed by you --
or didn't think you were writing this stuff down."
Stewart's conclusion: "After reading this book I get the sense of a man who is
very proud of the person he believes himself to be -- but he is, in fact, the
opposite of that person."
