Abazaid is a darling poster child of the "anti war" movement.... he has a long history iof this, add to that he is of questionable patriotic character in my book, seeing he is a first generation import from Saudi Arabia !
He's a general in the same military as Petraeus. Why is it ok to call him names, but it's unpatriotic to call Petraeus names? Actually, I believe it's not "unpatriotic" to question ANY military man, including Petraeus. They're government workers, and I don't take any government employee's word as gospel without independent verification.

Only Moveon calls them liars and traitors. Big difference.

Moveon called Petraeus a juvenile name, like some of the posters here are doing with this general. Different ideologies, same tactic.

Thank you for correcting the original information. Far too often misinformation is left to fester and/or float through the information channels causing huge problems.
Since I am on the thread,I would like to ask fellow Freepers to try to recall the last time any sane person or even more to the point,group of same persons,almost to a man believed that any ugly,miserable situation was the fault of one person or one side exclusively.
Reading articles and comments from Israeli-Jews in Israel sources,demonstrate that there is much more diversity of thought vis-a-vis the Mideast situation over there than over here. I would think that should cause some serious revisiting of the state of affairs.

I’m sorry,since you posted the thread I should have pinged you to my comment #48. Consider yourself pinged.

“Hey, I thought only Moveon critizes U.S. generals.”
There is nothing wrong with criticizing retired generals who are giving personal opinions. What Moveon did was call the general in charge of a current war a traitor. There is a big distinction.

John Abizaid, the retired Army general who headed Central Command
for nearly four years, said he was confident that if Iran gained
nuclear arms, the United States could deter it from using them.
Well, the good General might do a real service by just being
more direct:
"Radical Islam, partially embodied by today's Iran, is the new Communism.
We need to get down to work with deciding how to spend the next
couple of decades, containing the enemy and slowly helping them
onto the ash-heap of history."
Sometimes you just have to say it out loud, sir!

As far as I know, Gen. Abizaid is not running for President. Duncan Hunter is. He has the experience and wisdom to weigh all information and make the correct decision. I trust him absolutely to do this. I believe the military commanders will trust him also.

I second all you had to say in post #17. Your thought process put to the pen describes in essence how I view the issues revolving around their nuclear program.
