The GAO report on political reconciliation in Iraq reached dismal conclusions -- there has been little progress, and none of it is sustainable. In Senator McConnell's world, that means the GAO has to be discredited. Here's what he said yesterday:

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL (R), MINORITY LEADER: There are a number of reports, but all reports are not equal. The report that is written into law are the reports by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker. Those reports will be before the Congress next week.

Of course, the GAO report is also "written into law," mandated by the same law that demanded the White House report, as Media Matters points out.
