The legislation actually does call for the President to prepare the report. It calls for Petraeus and Crocker to testify in
both open and closed sessions, but W has to personally pull out his crayons and write it. From
WaPo:
The legislation says that Petraeus and Crocker "will be made available to testify in open and closed sessions before the relevant committees of the Congress" before the delivery of the report. It also clearly states that the president "will prepare the report and submit the report to Congress" after consultation with the secretaries of state and defense and with the top U.S. military commander in Iraq and the U.S. ambassador.
