Petraeus should be BLOCKED. It is time for his career to end. His comments attacking the Koran burning and endorsing Sharia primnciples, while at the same time saying NOTHING against those who murdered 22 people in Afghanistan over it, were despicable. This man understands nothing about what our Constitution or values represent. BLOCK HIM.

Swell. The marxist piranhas in the CIA will hamstring Petraeus, the incompetent Panetta will wreck the DoD.

How is it possible that the same 50 or so people seem to always show up?

Quite frankly I am surprised Jamie Gorelick isn't being looked at for the position. I guess they are still trying to get her the FBI gig.

What is it?

Didn't Petreaus also insist our guys not wear body armor when dealing with the locals in Afghanistan?

Petraeus has “gone native”. The British during the days of Empire understood the phenomenon well.

He didn't endorse Sharia.......but, his comments about the FL preacher's koran burning were disturbing (especially the "perhaps understandable passions" comment). From Koran burning creates new Afghan dangers: Petraeus

......."In the interview, which was posted on the newspaper's website late Sunday, Petraeus said the March 20 burning "was a surprise."

Petraeus, commander of the US-led international force in Afghanistan, deplored the burning as "hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant."

"Every security force leader's worst nightmare is being confronted by essentially a mob, if you will, especially one that can be influenced by individuals that want to incite violence, who want to try to hijack passions, in this case, perhaps understandable passions," Petraeus told the Journal."........

“How is it possible that the same 50 or so people seem to always show up?”

Therein lies a huge problem with our government. We have become an oligarchy.

Okaaaay. So NOW how will the Moonbats treat Gen. Petraeus?
Another full page nasty ad in the NY Slimes? I doubt it.

The hypocrisy that'll be shown by the leftists will be so thick you can cut it with Auntie Em's 60 y.o. butter knife.

Maybe they'll even throw a ticker-tape parade for him :-)
