I think what she dislikes about Petraeus is this...
"the general's recent comments echoing the Arabist narrative on Israel as the culpable driver of regional unrest."
IMO, she has a pretty clear and undiluted view of inherent evil in Islam and the dangers of befriending its adherents.

Even though I can't point to a specific statement by West, I think she thinks (rightly or wrongly) that the whole concept of counter-insurgency/COIN is inapplicable when dealing with Islam...and this would put her at odds with many in our military.

She gets it...Petraeus and his cohorts do not or will not.

Islam is an ideology that thrives in secular corporate cultures like this one...and stamping out its leadership in one place allows its shoots to emerge in another.
