That was pathetic! Gen Petraeus is a West Pointer - he's not going to lie to spare a politcian's feelings! Further, Warner couldn't handle the truth! Yes I said...
YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!
Here is my email to Senator Warner, which he won't read, of course.
"Dear Senator Warner:
I was treated to the spectacle yesterday of you admonishing a three star general in the United States Army for giving a truthful answer to a fair question.
Of course your horrid resolution will harm our military and our efforts in the long, hard battle we are going to have to fight, whether you find it inconvenient or not.
Presumably you understand this, but are willing to proceed for your own political purposes, and that is why you found it so painful to hear it spoken to your face. My goodness, what does that say about you!
In disgust,
