General Patraeus isn't a liar, but Hillary's hubby, Bill Clinton certainly IS. Depending upon what your definition of "is" is. Lieing under oath is called "perjury".

I love how counterinsurgency expert Clinton takes on the brain trust behind Gen. Petraeus [/s].

If I could, I’d help her with the hole she’s digging.

2012? Why? Isn’t Fred Thompson going to run for re-election?

If you parse Hillary's comments, she actually tells the truth.

"Although the charts tell part of the story, I don't think...."

From the article - "The senator's reaction to the cautious optimism of America's top general in Iraq is a pivot away from the position she took last month, when she conceded that American forces had achieved some security gains in Iraq, particularly in the Anbar province. She later backed away from those remarks after coming under fire from rival presidential campaigns and anti-war Democrats."

Talk about flip flopping - wow!

Who do you trust more?

A four star General running our War against Islamofacism.

A failed, former president's wife using stolen money bundled by a Chinese guy to get herself elected to the presidency.

No brainer!

Clinton is bringing a rubber chicken to a machine gun fight.

Just remember she not only voted for taking down Iraq, she stated on a Russert show that "it is the Policy of the Democratic Party".

In other words, if things went better than expected, THEY would be the heroes!!

At the same time, Bubba was wishing he were "The War President".

It was Hillary Clinton’s twisted, convoluted attempt at disguising vocabulary. She had listened to General David Petraeus’ report to congress for hours. He had given his assessment, based on his experiences in the field — his military successes in the Anbar Province where blood stains the desert sands west of Baghdad.

Then Hillary, sticking her tongue into the mouth of her noose, looked the general straight in the eye and told him that all he had told congress so earnestly and truthfully required a “willful suspension of disbelief.”

What arrogance to insult a 4-star general who has removed himself from his battlefield to come to Washington, D.C. to give this report! Here’s a man who has a masters degree and a PhD (1987) in international affairs from Princeton University (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1896503/posts)

What arrogance to call this man a liar — a man who bravely and valiantly leads our fighting men to the successful conclusion of the military need to be in Iraq! A man who has service records in Haiti, Kuwait and Bosnia. He has five Oak Leaf Clusters and a Bronze Star, for crying out loud!

What arrogance to insult this general and all the service personnel he represents — men and women who put their lives on the line every day.

What arrogance — that’s Hillary and her ilk. Her best pal looks like the leader of moveon.org, Eli Pariser. He’s a graduate from Simon’s Rock College and moved up the corporate ladder to become executive director of Move On.org. His claim to fame is being a web page designer and is politically connected to everything Democrat.

As an American, I can’t believe that Slick Willie’s wife even has a chance at becoming the next President of the United States. I guess this shows just how far America has fallen into the sewer. We’re done.

So, Hillery is trying to engage in a battle of wits with the general. Its a good thing that the general doesn’t fight back against an unarmed opponent.

I feel silly just saying the word “credibility” in the same sentence as I mention Hillary Clinton (spit).

Not sure it was mentioned in this article, but Hillary’s pretentious remark “willing suspension of disbelief” was not at all original. Some commentators seemed puzzled by the phrase as if it were something new. But it’s a common phrase used to describe what one must do to enjoy reading fiction, all fiction including the best or worst available.

Would Hillary Clinton make a good commander in chief during war??? That is the question voters need to ask themselves.

Sounds like Gen. Patraeus unwillingly found himself in a sword fight with a one-armed blind woman on crutches and armed only with a pocket knife....
