Flattery and ego aside, how about giving the general rules of engagement that won’t get our troops killed while also giving him the tools to eradicate the enemy?

I don’t think they will do that because it would have him senior to Admiral Mullen the Joint Chief of Staff. Maybe if they promote both of them it would work. I don’t believe that they will have anyone senior to Admiral Mullen.

By my memory, stars are awarded to establish hierarchy among a group of fellow generals.
The amazing thing is that _now_ the libs like The Atlantic want to heap praise on General Petraeus!

0bamao would never allow it. It might take some of the spotlight off of him.

He’s essentially a theater commander now. that’s a four-star rank.
Ike had five stars, right, as Supreme Allied Commander?
I don’t know what you’d do to pay him more. I guess you could give him the fifth star for the pay bump.
I’d think his wife and family would have been pissed. He’s finally home for a while, and then McChrystal decides to spill to Rolling Stone of all magazines.
It’ll be about 2025 before we blow the last of the 60’s generation out of the system I guess.

Give Petraeus 5 Stars No. Make him Joint Chiefs chairman when Mullen's retires. But four stars are enough.
