Why not. Wesley Clark opened the door.

[Principled]

Or the original GW general who got this ball rolling...

Uruknet was in the past the mouthpiece of Saddam Hussein and the Baath Party, though the country-code holder was living in the US.

on fox he looked a good candidate to this Brit

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

(Anti-Ameican) Iraqi Baathist Web Site Backing Sappy Cindy Sheehan
Moonbat Central via Discover the Network ^ | 8/22/05

Uruknet, the web site of Iraqi Baathist backers of Saddam Hussein, nominally based in Italy, the sort of people who lop off heads of Western captives, is devoting much of its space to celebrating Sappy Cindy Sheehan’s jihad against America and against Dem Joos.

Uruknet routinely runs anti-American screeds from a motley collection of far-leftists, neonazi rightists, and Islamofascists. You know, the familiar axis of evil. It currently also features a piece by ultra-moonbat Jude Wanniski calling for Saddam Hussein to be restored to power, entitled “Are We Really Better Off Without Saddam?”

President Petraeus....... I dunno. Maybe he can change his last name to something more English or Irish. That seems to be the requirement. Someone should have told Giuliani.

[GeronL]

why should we believe this is even true?

[gondramB]

There is nothing wrong with wanting to be President.

But I don’t think being point man on Iraq is going to help anybody do that.

[Joe Boucher]

If you compare the good general to the current crop of dems running he at least is coherent.

[Beckwith]

Patrick Cockburn is a long-time critic of Bush, Blair and the Iraq War - - it follows he's a critic of Petraeus.

[Beckwith]

Sabah Khadim, then a senior adviser at Iraq's Interior Ministry, says General Petraeus discussed with him his ambition when the general was head of training and recruitment of the Iraqi army in 2004-05.

"I asked him if he was planning to run in 2008 and he said, 'No, that would be too soon'," Mr Khadim, who now lives in London, said.

Wouldn't this be considered hearsay in a court of law?

After all, anyone can say anything about anybody - - doesn't make it true.

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

The smearing continues.

[LZ_Bayonet]

Obviously the "DEM/MSM Anti-American Coalition" had a conference call and decided to put out hit pieces on the General. Apparently they knew the General would be effective, which led to the big price discount for MoveOn for the NYT Anti-Petraeus ad that came out before the hearings.

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.

[airborne]

First of all, this is, IMO, pure BS!

Second of all, if he did run,I would have no trouble supporting him!

[mewzilla]

Mr. Khadim just loves the Coalition aaprently. He's certainly a go to guy for the handy quote.

Check out the sixth paragraph from this Newsweek article.

Oh Goody, more hairy armpit news. I never trust source like this.

[mrmargaritaville]

I’d like to see Rudy select Petraus as his VP.

Patrick Cockburn

Patrick Cockburn and his whole family are a bunch of Leftists. Anything he writes will follow the the party line.

[LibLieSlayer]

That was George Washington that "opened the door"... and I guess you forgot about IKE! It is a long list.p> I would LOVE to see this man run... and dims would run in fear! LLS
