Former CIA Director David Petraeus on Friday called out politicians who are spreading “anti-Muslim bigotry” in a Washington Post op-ed.
Petraeus wrote that he was concerned about “proposals from various quarters for blanket discrimination against people on the basis of their religion,” an implicit shot at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has called for a ban on Muslims entering the country.
“Some justify these measures as necessary to keep us safe — dismissing any criticism as ‘political correctness,’ ” Petraeus wrote. “Others play down such divisive rhetoric as the excesses of political campaigns here and in Europe, which will fade away after the elections are over.

I don’t blame him for that, I blame Bush. We won both countries in a matter of weeks and should have left immediately.
Who forced or paid him?
A Conservative doesn’t tell Americans to give up their First Amendment Rights just to make his job easier.
He’s a neocon lackey in the back pocket of the saudis, along with a multitude of others within our government.
“Neo-Con” implies that at least there’s something Conservative about him.
The day the POTUS claimed that Islam is a ROP.
Well, those that refuse to see are either pig ignorant or simply trolls. There’s a few nutter trolls pushing the creepy Socialist thug ex-Sen. Jim Webb to be Trump’s VP, claiming he’s a “solid Southern Conservative.”
“Hard to understand this view.”
Impossible to understand. These folks are not part of just a religion. They are part of a complete system of life/government/duty right down to daily functions. Anyone who still thinks there are moderate muslims who will stand up to the islamists is fooling themselves. They, the so-called moderate muslims are guilty of hudud crimes and ARE/WILL BE punished if they do not participate of the rise of a global caliphate....it is in their book, their laws. There is no acceptance of laws made by man, there is no acceptance of another culture, there is only the book the hadith and all of sharia.

Not bigotry when you are stating that their ideology spurs them to rape, slice necks, and burn.
Mohammedanism is NOT a “religion”. It’s a political
dogma of the sort that beheads people & proselytizes
people by force. Using our American “values” in order
to ram this dogma down our throats don’t work with us.
Just ask the people in centuries past who were invaded
by Mohammedans & had their whole cities butchered down to
every man, woman & child; then ask those people in
Vienna who STOOD with Jan Sobieski & resisted the
Mohammedans & defeated them. We owe VIENNA a debt of
gratitude for stopping the Mohammedan rampage across
Europe which lasted for a while at least until now
that the U.S. has elected a bunch of Mohammedans to
dictate to us. . AND DICTATE THEY HAVE!
Collective memory for history is rather short. - See
“The Gates of Vienna” if you want to keep up with what
the Muzzies are up to now (hint: it’s mostly rape,
murder, beheadings & rampaging.)
It would seem that obammy and company still have his balls in a talon grip. Spending as much time as is necessary to vet immigrants from war torn regions dominated by jihadi terrorists is damn common sense. France, Belgium, England et al should have used the same damn common sense.
Yes, his connections with Saudi Arabia need looking into.
He was part and parcel of the operation to supply Syrian rebels with arms from Libya. Suggested at one point that we support al Nusra in order to fight Assad. At one point in the Iraq war he said Israeli “intransigence” in the conflict with the Palestinians was making his job in Iraq much more difficult.
He is talking like its 1990 or maybe 2008. Trump has brought a new playbook. This looks like the hand of the DNC and Political correctness. Its pro Hillary/ anti Trump. Glad to see the blow back on PC foolishness. Its a war! The Russians get it—its a 1,000 year old fight with a fanatic Politico-Religio death cult that would kill their own children to please their Satanic God. Trump gets it too. The Illegals who kill people become all Mexicans, the Temporary Ban on Mulims becomes Anti-Islamic hate. Its more Alinski propaganda PC—all for the Queen Hillary Movement. Think things are bad now? Wait till muslim Terrorists use a nuke on an American City or two—wait till they kill millions not thousands—then every lamp post will be decorated with hanging Muslims and the sky choaked with burning mosques and Arab businesses. No power on Earth would be able to stop the revenge of the American people.
Not going to say anything against Patraeus as I don’t know at what level his stress is, but I do believe Islam has to be taken down to the lowest level of believers as is humanly possible under any circumstances. Islam is an ideology. A sick ideology as all ideologies cannot be totally eliminated, but can be substantially reduced in effective influence by several means, and those means be they education, or firepower must be used beginning immediately to end the activities of the Muslims involved.
Life as we know it is in jeopardy.
Sharp insight. The new old Wesley Clark. He’s so danged smart? Doesn’t he realize that he’s on the wrong side of majority America? Going down for the third time.
Geez, when did generals get so damnedd dumb?
All that’s left now is for Petraeus to pose for the cover of “The Advocate.”
Boy they really re-educated him didn’t they.
‘anti-Muslim bigotry’
Oh boo hoo.
Just remembered with regard to the Saudi connection, which you mentioned - Prince Turki al Faisal said in Wash DC about a week ago that electing Trump would be a monumental mistake - a disaster. So the Saudis are dead set against Trump and Petraeus is in lockstep, as is his custom.
Compromised in more ways than one.
