Rep. Alcee Hastings, the Miramar Democrat who represents parts of the Treasure Coast, had this to say on the report released Monday by Gen. David Petraeus:
“There was absolutely nothing that was unexpected in General Petraeus’ recent report to Congress," he said. "While there may have been minimal military successes, there has been total political failure with no end to that failure in sight. The report contains no real exit strategy and lays the groundwork for a continued commitment to Iraq far beyond the wishes of the American people.”
