On Friday’s “Special Report” on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer said the resignation of CIA director David Petraeus was a regrettable situation that might ultimately help shed light on the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya.
“We will unravel all the threads of this in time,” Krauthammer said. “We’re just in the first few hours, but I think it’s worth noting what we do know. This is the end of a career of a truly great American. He did something that hadn’t been done by a general since the Inchon landing in the Korean War, when MacArthur by a maneuver managed to save a war that was being lost and save South Korea.”
“No one had done anything like that until David Petraeus did that in 2007 and 2008 in Iraq,” Krauthammer continued. “That was a lost war. It was headed for chaos, civil war, bloodshed and unending trouble for us. And he pulled off a surge that rescued the war. What happened after in Iraq and what happened after in Korea are other stories, but that is undeniable. It is one of the great achievements, and he pulled it off. He distinguished himself in Afghanistan. And whatever happens and whatever we learn, this is a real tragedy.”

No. It won’t.
Anyone else feel this way?
Yes, it will.
It will until they find out about Obama’s role in this debacle. Then they’ll drop it back into the memory hole.
Interest in the scandal will depend on how many patriotic members of the military resign in protest. That idiot Trump should have offered $5,000,000 to compensate Benghazi whistleblowers for their potential lost pensions, instead of flapping his arms over Bambi’s college records.
Obama and Hillary let Americans die at the hands of Muslims. And that was not news worthy.
But an affair will make headlines?
Really?
I wish I shared your confidence. The media has adorned their emperor in gold robes. I do think the truth will come out, but it won’t come from the MSM. They will not disrobe their emperor.
it’s something to get the attention from Obama and his 100 % here and 100 % talk about voter fraud
No it won’t. It will drive interest about birth control ...just watch.
I recall reading somewhere that there is Charles Krauthamer, brilliant Conservative pundit that is 99% spot on....Then there is “evil” Charley...that pops out once in a while.
You can tell when evil Charley comes out by watching the other end of the desk when Steve’s mouth drops open and just hangs there for a long time.
I don’t think this is an “evil” Charley situtation, but I don’t think he’s right.
Also, the rare time “evil” Charley pops out? I think it’s his ego...he has a big one...and I also think he likes being in the K-street cocktail circuit. Hey....I love the guy...but he’s human.
I don’t get the Petraeus thing at all. It is fishy as with EVERYTHING about Benghazi.
Just my guess...but this is what is going to rid us of the evil fraud in the WH.
They'll probably leave his body in a dumpster near some mafioso.
Until he is made the fall guy; then they bury him.
No, the press won’t cease the coverup now that the election is over. They are BELIEVERS in the goals of the Obama Administration: social justice, gun control, universal Obamacare, redistribution, suppression of free speech, abortion, anti-Christian, anti-American, indoctrination in the schools, stimulus spending, massive deficits and debt, debasement of the dollar, and so forth. THE PRESS WILL DO NOTHING TO PREVENT THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNIST AGENDA. Goebbels himself could not have dreamed that a privately owned press could be this disciplined in generating non-stop coordinated propaganda.
“No. It won’t.”
Agree.
K Slammer is ex ellent at pontificatin and finally ax’n a question.....so.............well that’s all
Like hell it will, Charles. We are now living in The Hunger Games.....and you are just another one of the elitists at the top.
Hmmmm...whatever happened to the folow up about THAT dumpster guy?
I just love when I have more common sense than people who are so much smarter than I.
No, Charles, they will never cover anything other than Petraus was lyin’ cheat.
