General David Petraeus is a hero who took over when we were not winning and has done some amazing things.
I’ve heard rumors lately that he may run for political office, hence the hit piece.

Pretending the US has enjoyed a strategic success in Iraq is delusional at best.

On the leadership side of the house.
“Do you think soldiers on the ground in the field care one way or the other if their comrade in arms are gay or lesbian?” asked NBC’s David Gregory.
“I’m not sure that they do. We’ll see,” replied Petraeus.
“I know, I served, in fact, in combat with individuals who were gay and who were lesbian in combat situations. Frankly, you know, over time you said, hey, how’s this guy shooting or how is her analysis or what have you?” explained Petraeus.”
