YouTube Video Captures Moment Petraeus Concedes He Doesn’t Know if Iraq Plan Makes America Safer; Quotes Three Republican Senators

VoteVets.org has unveiled a new internet ad on YouTube, which captures the moment that General David Petraeus admits during an exchange with Senator John Warner, that he doesn’t know if the White House plan for Iraq will make America safer, and hasn’t put much thought into it. It also captures similar moments of frustration from Republican Senators Chuck Hagel and Richard Lugar.

Of all days, on September 11, Americans were reminded that we need to be vigilant against real threats to America, and how our military is used will either help or hurt security. But, General Petraeus has a very limited area of concern - the US military in Iraq. With three words, he confirmed yesterday that his responsibility isn’t to worry about the world outside of Iraq, or our global commitments, or the overall war on terror.
