If Petraeus needs to be confirmed, then he ought to keep his intentions private until he is in theater.

I don’t agree. I want the so-called senators who believe in handcuffing our troops to say so, on the record.

“If Petraeus needs to be confirmed, then he ought to keep his intentions private until he is in theater.”

Then again, Petraeus may be putting the fear of God into the minds of our enemies over there. And he's backing our troops in their mission.

“Islamist websites: McChrystal fired because Afghan war is lost”

Petraeus might be sending a message from America to our enemies:

“Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.”

He isn't leaving our troops dangling in the wind in theatre during the leadership interim by leaking this out. He's stabilizing morale so it won't plummet. And hopefully, he's sending a message he means business.
