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.

Gonna be some serious head rolling as a result of this crap but, regardless of how it came out, Flynn put Trump/Pence/Spicer in an awkward place with his "inadvertent" lapse. He needed to go but the result will be some serious repercussions for those that leaked it.
I agree with Laura that Neocons are undermining Trump, with approval from media and Democrats.
Not another Democrat, NO!
STAY OUT DA PETRAEUS!
Petraeus????
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
Appointing Lindsay girl to something might be a good idea- get a REAL republican in his seat THEN FIRE HIM
Same with McCain
Trump tweeted this AM that the real story is the illegal leaks coming out of Washington. He asks integrate going to leak his NK plans, which made me wonder if that was a setup,
So he can help Hillary and the Regime Change Investment Club continue with bidness as usual?
Have always said that Petraeus was setup....just like in the Michael Douglas movie “Disclosure”.
When Ralph Peters even mentions Russia the spittle flies like foam and he can’t even finish his sentences
And he wants that nancy- boy Graham who goes red- eyed over the same issue
We are seeing a pretty serious concerted attempt by the US government bureaucracy and lapdo propaganda media to hem Trump into a very hostile relationship with Russia
A rational person has to ask WTH is going on????
Whis is why Freepers are scratching their heads but the media is acting like nothing out of the ordinary is going on with the US and Russia. Except that President Trump wants to relocate the Kremlin to DC.
I would sooner ask Allen West than David Petraeus.
...... Well ... In my crappy opinion .... I’m pretty sure that since Petraeus, No matter how good a guy he is, has already been tarnished by scandal he is therefore not likely to be chosen to fill the shoes of a person who stood down because of a scandal.
Flynn was never the head of NSA. The title is wrong.
They didn’t listen when Obama said the eighties wants their foreign policy back?
Peters has lost his ever-lovin mind.
He needs a break.
I saw Patreaus on a 3 person list on CNN, and I guess it was on Fox too. But who created this list? DJT? or was it just CNN?
It doesn’t say he was the head of NSA. He was a national security advisor, the letters match up.
