More blatant showmanship with Petraeus.

Transcript from the WH Press Briefing:

Q And the second one is, there's been some confusion about the whens, hows, wherefores of the Crocker-Petraeus testimony to Congress. Can you say when they're going to testify before Congress and under what conditions?

MR. JOHNDROE: Yes. General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker will testify in open hearings on the Hill. Administration officials are reaching out to Hill leadership today to discuss with them the potential dates for that testimony. Given the tight schedule leading up to September 15th and the congressional recess with Rosh Hashanah coming up, the likely dates for testimony are September 11th and 12th.

Now taking bets on the fact it'll fall on the 11th. After all, that's all Bush has left: Humping the corpses of three thousand people in a city that would hate his guts if they saw what he did in their name.
