On the recordSeptember 10, 2007
In just the short time that we've been hearing quotes from this Jones report, which I very much appreciated, I don't know how many times the gentleman from Minnesota read the word ``progress,'' progress in this respect, progress in other respects, challenges of course, but progress, progress, progress, the word ``success,'' the words ``pleasantly surprised.'' So it would certainly be inaccurate to say that the Jones report was totally negative and that the Petraeus report was somehow far different. So I very much appreciate the gentleman pointing that out, and I simply wanted to underscore the very optimistic words that the general had in his testimony.
