I didn’t forget the lineup of generals who were president. It’s the current political context I spoke of.

Wesley Clark opened the door.

The only door that ambitious soldier ever opened was the door to the sh!thouse.

He was the military commander on the ground at Waco and fought on the wrong side in the Balkans.

US Dems definitely working for this paper.

I knew they were aiding and abetting, literally.

Right on cue, someone (gee, wonder who?) is putting out hit pieces on this general.

Target. Fire for effect.

Anyone wanting a strong Commander-in-Chief type to fill the White House in 2008 need look no futher than Duncan Hunter.

"Also, and I think this is another intended result, Hillary's basically calling the General a liar sent the message that Petraeus might as well retire if she is elected, and that military people who are or became aligned behind Petraeus would have no future if she is elected."

(my earlier post)

Thought! - Was Hillary's statement at the hearing actually an attempt to intimidate our higher levels of military leadership and thus cripple Iraq War military leadership? Basically sending out a message that, if she is elected, military leaders supporting Petraeus will be punished and those "actively" opposing him (ex. the Centcom commander)will be rewarded.
