After blaming the previous "supine" Congress and Rumsfeld for our current impasse, she repeats that skepticism of Petraeus's report is merited. She seems to have conceded that there's no chance that the Congress can stop the continued escalation. That won't inspire the netroots, will it? Money quote:

"You wrote the book, General, but the policy is not by the book, and you are being asked to square the circle, to find a military solution to a political crisis."
