I expect people to think when they read and respond to the words that are actually written. Forgive me.
General Petraeus is doing his job, both in working to get the war won under dire circumstances with an anti-American CinC, and in defending the lives of his troops from irresponsible morons.

oWf, I do respect you, as among rather few freepers whose names I recognize and generally agree with, but on this issue I beg to differ strongly. Not only as to the utter irrelevancy of the jackass preacher, but wrt the general.

I say that if the general is "doing his job" under an anti-American CinC, he is doing serious wrong, as in moral turpitude. I apologize for dragging nazis into this, but that is the "just following orders" argument. The CinC is undermining the troops with his policy, and the general is backing him up.
Think less about the message a Florida preacher sends to homicidal muslims, and more about the message a US general and his CinC send them.
