Petraeus blasts politicians spreading 'anti-Muslim bigotry'

The Hill ^ | May 13, 2016 | Harper Neidig

[catbertz]

Petraeus, and all the others on that side of the argument really believe that Islam can be reasonable. Historically, there is no long-term basis for that belief. They will be continually shocked when Islam takes a hundred miles for every inch given in compromise.

[The Citizen Soldier]

Man, do they got the goods on Petraeus! So, where is his raw FBI file? Hint: try the upper bedroom at the White House.

[silverleaf]

this is not what Trump said- he said vet them before we let them in

Petreaus must be a real schmuck

Get back in bed with another military groupie, General

[dfwgator]

He’s just another Wesley Clark.

[fieldmarshaldj]

To think some folks around here wanted to recruit him to run for President. Well, he’s not much different than Pig Vomit “Kay Sick.”

[wideminded]

Hillary’s VP?

Seems unlikely they would form a "being careless with classified information" ticket.

[Sacajaweau]

I’m assuming part of his plea, too.....because he knows that Trump is suggesting a security measure...and Muzzies are at the top of the list.

Trump has called for a TEMPORARY ban on Muslims persons holding an ideological position, based on the Islamic Koran and Hadith, and on hundreds of years of practice, which is explicitly hostile to the principles of liberty and freedom at the core of the U.S. Constitution and social and political practice in the United States entering the country until they can be properly vetted. What the hell is so difficult to understand about that?

[silverleaf]

Given that muslims might rightly blame Petreaus for killing hundreds of thousands of them, it’s hard to see him getting any medals from ISIS

[Psalm 73]

Understand.
But how does an Ivy-League leftist become a counter-insurgenct guru?

[OldSmaj]

And to think I once looked up to and respected your two-timing dumb ass liberal self.

Won't be fooled again.

[pfony1]

I guess Petraeus can forget about being “tapped” as Trump’s Secretary of Defense...

[Snowybear]

This guy may be good on a battlefield but in every other aspect of his life has turned out to be a complete and utter dumbass.

[Stingray51]

I think he is writing this because he thinks (wrongly) that Hillary is going to win easily (Beltway consensus) and he thinks that carrying water for her now will lead her to do something for him when she’s elected. Overrated clown, IMO.

[dfwgator]

If he was good on the battlefield, we should have gotten out of Afghanistan years ago.

[1Old Pro]

OK, so he doesn’t like Trump - not news.

[MHT]

Wish he showed as much sympathy about the Americans who did end up dying thanks to Islam in Benghazi....

[Richard Axtell]

Various memes get their start with obvious clues. Think back to these assertions that were pooh poohed in their time:

"Global Warming as a political movement will lead to pressure to ban SUVs, and eventually all forms of hydrocarbon based energy."

"Gay rights will lead to Gay Marriage, and unisex bathrooms"

"Gun Control Laws will lead to Gun Confiscation Laws"

"Anti-Islamophobia laws, in the form of hate crime laws, will lead to stifling of opposition to imposition of Sharia Laws and the Jihadist takeover of the West:"

Seem like fringe based extremist conspiracy madness to you now? I thought not.

[xzins]

I guess Petraeus is now off of the VP list.

[lodi90]

Every time the Petreus “issue” comes up here there isa FReeper who pops up to say he really is a conservative. Well, the proof is in the pudding.
