Mr. Petraeus is a demanding boss who does not hesitate to order substandard work redone or details of plans adjusted.

“I’ve never seen anyone with his drive — ever,” said Michael J. Morell, the agency’s deputy director. “He remembers what he asks for. Three weeks later he’ll say at a morning meeting: ‘Whatever happened to that? Is that done yet?’ ”

I realize this is highly unusual for Washington, but it hardly describes an outstanding leader who insists on excellence from his subordinates either.

It's telling that the Slimes is out trying to paint a good face on Petraeus and doesn't speak well for Petraeus. I'd feel better about him if the Slimes had their panties in a knot exocoriating him. As is, the paragraph below says it all:

Mr. Petraeus’s discretion and relentless work ethic have had a positive side for him: old tensions with Mr. Obama, which grew out of differing views on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, appear to be gone
