He didn’t counter it, and he didn’t say we are no less safe.
That’s all the headline writer and article writer putting words in his mouth.
He speaks the truth
Even less safe now.
He is trying to say what he can without a Chain of Command violation (and that is not much). By Petraeus saying that we are not less or more safe under Obama is an admission that we are, indeed, LESS safe.
Maybe that was Rove's plan all along? N'yessss, ha ha ha ha!
POTUS = Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces of the United State of America.
End of discussion.
He has to be carefull for obvious reasons. On the other hand we have no clue of his political leanings.
Pray for America and Our Troops
““It is hugely significant to us to hold so dear to the values we’ve fought for over the years,” he said.”
And isn’t one of those abiding values TRUTH? Why not state the TRUTH, that America is naturally LESS SAFE under a radical leftist president?
lets see if we are safer under this idiot.
Russia right now is building their nuclear weapons
Russia is building their conventional military a lot
Russia is now sending navel patrols around the top of Norway and the arctic to AK
Russia is deploying military to south and central America
North Korea is full steam ahead on their weapons programme and is laughing right now in front of phony
China is building up their military and taking over assets in this country.
Islamic nutjobs are going to be released and even talk of them being released int to the streets of America because they might be harmed back in their country.
charges have bene postponed against one and others can soon get the pathetic liberal group of the ACLU on their side with tax payers money
Islamic nutjobs like Hamas and Hezbollah are coming across our southern border
which brings me onto the southern border
The phony and his ilk are ignoring the problem and saying ,”well it has not come over here the violence and it is not a huge problem”
They say something and then do something else as Napolitano has always done.
Our military is being cut with spending and future weapons and equipment is bring cancelled or postponed.
Are we safer
NO CHANCE and it is not like the General can say otherwise as CNN knew this but hey they got their headline and twisted the story to back their messiah and they wonder why they lose rating.
As an Active Duty Officer, Petraeus is very limited in what he can say about Chain of Command publicly.
Expect the biased left leaning media to twist anything said to favor Obama.
Don’t forget, when Petraeus spoke under the Bush administration, it was Hillary who said his words “required a willing suspension of disbelief.”
Now, they will twist and embrace what they can twist to bolster their own shortcomings into positives.
The US may be no less safe under Obama but he certainly isn’t making the US any safer - I believe one of his ‘sell-by’ promises.
Interesting Patraeus Touch.
I hope he runs for the presidency against Obama.
He sure is acting the part, for the military is deeply disaffected with Zero.The good general obscures it well in a very fine CYA.
Which is why Zero has moved to create Civilian Expeditionary para military support Workers.The DoD has already published the executive order.

I wonder what the good General’s take is on this order. I wish someone would ask him.
Sounds like he tactfully avoided discussing politics in a public forum, which is what a soldier is supposed to do.
Tell me “it’s no less safe” after the next attack.
CNN spin. He didn’t say we were not less safe.
'Yeo, the CIC is a moron and we'll all be dead in three years from terrorist attacks.'
Whomever asked that question should be water boarded then sent to GITMO for shear stupidity.
