Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) just said that his understanding his is that U.S. troops won't be going to Iraq "as troops out front" but that Iraqi troops will be "out front". I guess American troops will standing just behind them, or something.
I didn't quite get Petraeus' response.
Also says Baghdad is "just like an American city", if it also lacked basic services and was wracked by daily violence.
Martinez agrees that dissent is ok, but says that it's wrong to suggest that civilian miltary leaders might lie to Congress. This might be a reference to the many question Petraeus got asking for assurances that he always be candid with the committee.
Martinez also demands that anyone who opposes the war cut off funding.
Please!
