I find it disturbing that such a powerful General got involved with this very civilian, very domestic, very political, very local, very tiny, Florida church protest.
I think his speaking to the world as an active and commanding Army General is the major story of this event, it gives me the willies.
It creeped me out too. And as I said, I have lots of respect for General Patraeus. He’s a good man. Military officials sure have been rather opinionated lately (last 12 months or so) in their public comments. I don’t think they respect Obama. Maybe they feel the need to stand up for themselves and their men because they know Obamao won’t do so. If that’s a factor, I’ll cut them lots of slack.
But yeah, creepy.

I think his message was designed to placate Afghanistan. BO sure isn’t going to show any leadership.
