Rep. Ike Skelton, a strong opponent to the President's plan to send more troops to Iraq, is offering strong support to the new general charged with saving Iraq.
Rep. Skelton called Gen. David Patraeus,"a first-class leader," adding, "If anyone can help motivate the Iraqis into taking on more security responsibility and well lead American forces in Iraq, it is he."
Skelton is breaking with his leader, Speaker of the House Nance Pelosi, who told a group of San Francisco-area journalists: "He has been in charge of training, unsuccessfully."
