Email from Congressman Robert Wexler "What Would You Ask Petraeus?"

[seemslikeadream]

IMPEACH CHENEY




Dear xxx

As President Bush stubbornly refuses to change course in Iraq, it grows increasingly frustrating for those of us who have been loudly demanding a withdrawal. I know you share my frustration. Every day, I receive letters and emails from patriotic Americans who want to - somehow – personally contribute to a solution.

Now it is your turn.

Next week, General Petraeus – the architect of the failed surge policy and our chief military leader in Iraq - will be testifying before the Committee on Foreign Affairs.

For too long the Bush Administration has been in a bubble – hiding from the truth and avoiding tough questions from outraged American citizens. This time I am turning the oversight powers of Congress over to you.

I want you to be the ones asking the questions to General Petraus.

Write me back with a short reply and tell me what - specifically - you would like me to ask. Please include your first name as well as your city and state.

I will choose the best two questions and ask them to General Petraeus this Wednesday. You will be able to watch his answers directly on C-Span.

Please consider submitting a question. You already work so hard to bring accountability to this Administration and to bring our troops home from Iraq. I hope this provides you another opportunity for us to collaborate and directly influence the national dialogue.

Please keep your questions short and focused.

I look forward to your response, and thank you for participating directly in our democracy.

1. How many more troops in Iraq and Afghanistan do we need

to accomplish "the mission?"


How do you plan to recruit them?

2. Ask Petraeus why he ignored Col. Ted Westhusing's reports on corruption in Iraq

just before Westhusing was "suicided" to shut him up.

3. Why are our troops serving as Maliki's militia in the Iraqi civil war?

4. Does "victory" in Iraq include

the resettlement of almost 5 million Iraqi refugees? Or would you rather not talk about it?
