Re your comment about the dems sabotaging the plan to send Petraeus to head up Iraq operations ... the only way they can do this, I think, is to cut off funding.
I seriously doubt that they will have the guts to do this, don't you?
And thanks for the bio of Petraeus...to be honest, I'd never heard of him. The description reminded me of another smart, tough general we once had. (Patton)
Rummy used to talk about Petraeus in his press conferences. I remember hearing his name although I don't remember what Rummy said about him.
