Petraeus Testimony: My Video Supplement Print E-mail Written by JD Johannes Tuesday, 08 April 2008 General David Petraeus will be testifying before Congress today about the effects of the troop surge. To give the public and interested parties a more tangible view of the effects of the troop surge, I have condensed one of my documentaries, 'Anbar Awakens ' and placed it on YouTube. You can watch it below in two parts. The first steps of the Anbar Awakening preceded the troop surge by several months, but without the surge it is unlikely it would have held firm and expanded. More importantly, the success of the Awakening combined with the troop surge to spread concerned citizens groups and neighborhood watch groups through large swaths of Iraq. The condensed version of my documentary will hopefully give a deeper understanding to some parts of General Petraeus' testimony. Some who probably still doubt the existence of the Awakening will say this was shot in a back lot in Morrocco, but they will say and do anything to force a defeat in order to maintain their identity--and that is most pernicious form of identity politics... outsidethewire.com
