Petraeus Focuses on Positives

General Petraeus has made tons of progress in Iraq, but it seems like to me that when he steps in front of Congress, he cannot hold his ground. However, the last time he was in front of Congress he started by saying that his colleagues have a, "hear no progress.....see no progress.....speak no progress," attitude towards the war. I agree with General Petraeus about this issue. It seems to me that Congress only focuses on the negatives. Every time they meet they seem to always get mad that there has been no progress, but there has been a lot of progress. The soldiers are doing an amazing job and are making a huge difference in Iraq. I think that Congress should focus on the positives and work off them. Maybe the morale of the country will change dramatically then.
