Has the subject changed?

To me, the church is doing a stupid thing that could possibly endanger our men. That is what I believe Petraus is saying.

Now, what do I think the majority of our American military personnel would say...

Untie our hands and let us win this thing. They'll like us when we win.

If America would unhinge itself from the United Nations and “international law” which it has been tied to since World War II, we would fight wars to win again.

This long, drug out no-win kind of war is the wrong way to go.

If we had really dealt with Pakistan back in 2001, we wouldn’t be bogged down now with Petraeus worrying about our ememies being angered.

Pakistan created the Taliban and Pakistani elements maintain it to this day.

I think the latter is what Petreaus is saying.

It is not about buring the Koran endangering troops. Burning the koran is endangering their “rules of engagement” as set forth by Obama. (he is CnC so the buck stops there)

Neither is the subject what Patraeus meant to say: we all know what he meant.

The subject, to me anyway, are the consequences of his comment.

And there are no good ones.

Was that Petraeus speaking, or was he speaking for the Usurper in Chief?
