In a recent post I hazarded the following guess about the American reaction to the Petreaus report:
My sense is that the truth has sunk in to the American people, and they’re not going to be convinced by anyone’s flimflam, no matter how many stars on his shoulder.
Looks like I was mostly right. According to a Rasmussen poll only 39% of the people in this country believe the report will reflect the general’s honest opinion. But of course, everyone in Washington will pretend that it does, even though they are probably almost as aware as the average American that the general is a shill.
