Hook, line and sinker even the erstwhile Rep King buys the whitehouse/MSm hatchet job on Stanley. Show me in the now infamous article where the general said anything? ???

Gen. Petraeus should have made these points a condition of accepting the assignment if he was “asked” to accept it and not just ordered to take it.

It is time for President Obama to demonstrate that he has the same determination and resolve as President Bush.

Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.

This has turned into a wholesale "blame the military" fiasco.

No war can be won with Obama and his Marxists in charge.

The entire officer corps should resign in disgust and repudiation.

We are back in VietNam and it's all repeating itself.

Let the narcissist emperor fight his own wars.

“Yet his remarks in Rolling Stone were clearly inappropriate and wrong.”

I don’t know what he said, but was it any worse than what everybody else is saying about that ignorant and incompetent Muslim Communist President?

My only *problem* with Gen. David Petraeus taking over on the ground in Afghanistan is it's sort of like a 'demotion'. He's a General (4 Stars), the head of CENTCOM, who'll now be doing the job of a Lieutenant General (3 stars).

To me its like Ike personally commanding the 3rd Army instead having Patton Commanding it right after D-Day.(1). (And after 1st being relived or commanding the 7th Army in Sicily)

So I just don't hope that Bambi doesn't screw Gen Petraeus after next July when Bambi says troops sre pulling out, then the Gen won't have a job and will be forced to retire.

(1) Patton's 3rd Army didn't go in on D-Day. Some Divisions went in on D-Day +9. Some on July 11 like the 4th Armored Div (1st combat on July 17, then that Bastogne thingy in Dec. of '44)

He mocked Petraeus and the surge that transformed Iraq, although that country is still far from out of the woods...now he goes running back to the man for help, because his “hand picked” general spoke his mind and the truth....but, right now I’m wondering how Petraeus feels about getting demoted...

President Obama must be a true leader and demand that all the civilian officials in his administration line up behind him and Gen. Petraeus and put aside their egos, their grievances and their liberal ideology.

President Obama must...? Witness collectivism, soft tyranny, domestic enemies. Witness their ideology and tactics inside our/your "house". What gangs are they attached to? What collectives are they beholden to? What anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives are funding them. What anti-truth, anti-freedom collectives are being defunded, de-legitimized, dismantled? Zero. President Ocollectivist, The Divider-in-Chief must...? Wake up Peter King.

The collective, the gang, the jihad marches on.

We the collective...?

Against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
