Patreus has been getting a bad rap from both sides but his soldeirs universally love him

I thought the navy admiral was going to be in charge of the operation, over Petraeus. What happened to him?

This speaks very well for him, IMO.

Not only does he know how to motivate his men. He knows how to motivate the conquered foe.

Lets give this guy every opportunity for victory

As far as I know David Petreuas is the supreme commanding officer in the field

This translates into:

You don't have to "two step" through EOF or request permission to shoot a bastard you believe to be a threat...

You will not be charged with murder, for acting in rational reaction to any life threatening situation..

THIS IS LONG OVERDUE

Semper Fi

General Petreuas

I thought he was a Spartan.

I could be wrong, but I thought the admiral was taking over command of Centcom. I think he just took command a few days ago (or last week, I'm rather foggy after working like a fool in flowerbeds for the last two weeks, thank goodness for ibuprofen and Claritin-D!)

Your chain of command will stand with you.

Of course I believe and honor the General and the troops -- it's the chain of command that I worry about as it traverses the beltway.

Me, too! Sounds like he's right on the mark. How is your son - my prayers and best wishes for him, you and your husband!
