A recent appearance at Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School by LtGen. David Petraeus was blogged in depth by "Tigerhawk" and found to be noteworthy by the heavy hitters of the blogosphere to include Hugh Hewitt, Instapundit and Powerline.
From "Tigerhawk"...
| Quote: | Lt. Gen. David Petraeus speaks at Princeton
The festivities surrounding the 75th anniversary of Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School For Public and International Affairs continued yesterday with a speech by Lt. General David Petraeus (M.P.A. '85, Ph.D. '87). General Petraeus has recently returned from Iraq, having served as the Commander, Multi-National Security Transition Command and NATO Training Mission. Before that, he was Commanding General of the 101st Airborne Division during its year in Iraq.
The advertised topic of General Petraeus' talk -- which was not covered by the mainstream media -- was "A Soldier's Reflections on Iraq," but it turned out to be a quite specific briefing on the present condition of Iraq's military and special police, which General Petraeus had been charged with organizing and training through the completion of his tour.

LtGen. Petraus' presentation, unnoted by the MSM, is now available for viewing at the Princeton WebMedia site.
Those interested in an authoritative, unfiltered presentation of the progress being made towards an effective Iraqi military and police security capability should find this of interest. The heart of the presentation commences at minute 13:26 if you would like to fast forward. |

And General Petraeus was just thanked for his Service by President Bush, at a short press conference w/regards to the current offensive in Western Iraq where 3,000 of the Iraqi troops are taking the lead....
and where the first question after our President briefed the 'Media' on our Military's effectiveness, and General Petraeus' effectiveness was......
drum roll, please....
"Mr. President do you feel roe v wade is settled............."
The comedy continues at the DNC, er, MSM.
