In other words, the op-ed was written to please the middle-east clients of Petraeus' new employers.

There are Gorgons that need slaying, but he’s not the man to do it.

In other words, talking about Muslims the way that democrats talk about Christians is “hate speech” and will not be tolerated.

Yup. Middle East money is silencing Washington and causing chaos and death in Texas, New York City, etc.

Islam has been at war with everyone not muslim since 622 A.D.
Refusing to acknowledge that will get people killed.

Sadly, Petraeuss attacks primarily undercut the foremost critics of Islamic doctrine: Muslim reformers, the group of Muslims who most need our support. A prominent young Muslim reformer, Shireen Qudosi, responded to his op-ed with this poignant tweet: Petraeus doesnt see that for much of the maddening world of Muslims and liberals, hate speech is conflated w/ truth. Petraeus comes across as a PC fool... but maybe you're right - he's just trying to please the totalitarian thugs he's working for...

Why not just say it....instead of ‘middle-east’....just say Saudis. They are the ones that pay for the think-tank foundation that Petraeus works in....right?

Mad Mo’s book tells them it is their religious obligation to subjugate, convert or kill all non-muslims.
Everyone MUST submit or be killed.
Mad Mo made it so.

This guy has morphed into such a schmuck. Does he really hate western civilization so much or is he just a paid-for whore?

Hillary also wants us to shut up about Islam. It's what she was paid to do.

With nothing to back it up, I’d say he’s a blackmailed schmuck.

I knew Petraeus a long time ago and had a great deal of respect for him. Today, I’m not sure whether I misjudged him or he changed a lot. In either case, he has no more loyalty to the United States or to Western culture than he has toward his wife.
