Congressional Predisposition?

(Fox News) - Some House Democrats may have had their minds made up before General David Petraeus gave his thoughts on Iraq Monday on Capitol Hill.

Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos told Petraeus and Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker, "We and the American people already know that the situation in Iraq is grim and the growing majority of this Congress and of the American people want our troops out." And he made clear nothing Petraeus could say would change his mind.

Last week House Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to the Petraeus-Crocker report as "The Bush Report."

And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the White House had "cherry picked" the data from Iraq in order to reinforce its position.
