TANKS,,,

Prayers for Gen.Petraeus,,,

I think the timing of this release is strange...

[Bobalu]

[cubreporter]

God bless this man. He is a true hero and a patriot who loves his country and his troops. I will pray and pray hard for him.

[MestaMachine]

Adding my heartfelt thanks to the Prayers of a Grateful Nation. Prayers do indeed go out to General Petraeus and his family.

[barker]

Oh No! Prayers for this very good man and his family.

[MestaMachine]

Ja. I thought that too.

[onemiddleamerican]

The statement was issued by the general’s spokesman, Col. Erik O. Gunhus, in response to questions from The New York Times.

Cynical ol' me has to ask, "Now, why would the NY Slimes think to ask questions about General Petraeus' health?"

Perhaps President Obama; Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr.; Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates; Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; or one of the other top officials who were informed of the initial diagnosis and treatment tipped off the NY SLimes.

And that is pretty sleazy.

Prayers Up for Gen. Petraeus and his family.

[mojitojoe]

Prayers up.

[Elsiejay]

My doctor told me that virtually every man that reaches old age (I assume he meant the 80s) has cancer of the prostate when he dies; not that it is the cause of death necessarily, but the condition is present.
Hope and pray that the General’s cancer is relatively non-threatening, and treatable.

[GloriaJane]

Prayers going up for a complete recovery!

[oldteen]

What you said.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Prayers for this man and his family.Hope they caught it in time.

[ambeeeant]

Thank God he has his socialist health care.

[WHBates]

Curious, how is his health care socialist? Would you care to expand?

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

First McChrystal now this from Petraeus ,,,

O’Bammy mite be surrounded...

[MestaMachine]

It’s time. Oh, Lord, I pray.

[El Gato]

Thank God he has his socialist health care.

It's not socialist when it's provided by your employer. His employer happens to be the US Military.

That said, I hope he finds a good private oncologist. TriCare, which is not that good compared to most private insurance, will at least help pay for it.

[MestaMachine]

Oh, puleeze!

[WHBates]

?? Puleeze, What in the world are you talking about? The Military receiving health care is socialist?? You or the poster might be trying to make some kind of a point but it's pretty lame and makes no sense.
