Petraeus would be a disaster — a stalwart of the old establishment in an administration that said it would “drain the swamp.”
In May 2016, he published what was essentially an anti Trump screed, saying that proposals to restrict immigration from Muslim countries that are hotspots of jihad terror shouldn’t even be made, so as to avoid offending Muslims.
He was in favor of using al Qaeda jihadis to defeat the Islamic State, which would give us a region full of al-Qaeda jihadis with American weapons and materiel who hate the United States and want to destroy it. (This is essentially what we have now in Syria, where Obama armed “moderates” who were really al-Qaeda jihadis.)
When he headed up the international coalition in Afghanistan, he said that Florida pastor Terry Jones’ plan to burn the Qur’an was “hateful, it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful and again, we condemn it in the strongest manner possible.

Hell No!
Petreaus and John Allen are both weak men lured into being fools by honey traps
No no no no
Yep, headed up by McCain and Lindsey. Hillary was a neocon.
Ralph Peters was a Never Trumper. His opinion isn't worth a bucket of warm piss AFAIC.
No.
I don’t trust him to not give in to Islamists.
Bring in Allen West!
The guy who cheated on his wife, and gave his mistress/biographer access to classified she wasn't cleared for? Yeah ...
OBTW ... Why the hell is Hillary Clinton still breathing free?
“Do not allow the Republican convention to be a coronation wherein Trump and Trumpism are unchallenged,” he wrote.
And as hard as he tries he can't imagine why President Trump wouldn't want him on the team.
Right here on the posting page it says: “Loose lips sink ships.” — That applies to the President on down.
OMG
The fact that you're stupid enough to say something like that to CNN is reason enough to keep you away from Washington.
Agree
Moving on.....Flynn is out, nothing will change it. Time to go after the leakers.
Petraeus is completely unacceptable. Ignoring his betrayal of his wife, the relevant flaw is that he mishandled classified material. He needs to go. Even those who admire him for his sharp mind (and I do) need to reject him. Endorsing Petraeus is an implicit endorsement of Hillary, and that witch has to disappear from political discourse.
What YOU said! Ditto
No way Betrayus gets the call!
How is Patraeus any better? He has a strike against him already....what’s the diff?
Mrs. rktman and I said the same thing yesterday about KT. As far as batraeus, we already know he can be compromised. Trump would have to pardon him for him to be able to assume the post. I vote no. As if that counts. Or, they could give me a call. I’m in between jobs right now. LOL!
I used to like Ralph Peters, but his anti-Trump fervor makes him sound a little unhinged. Sure, he’d love Graham....the Trump haters stick together.
