Perhaps. But I find it a little hard to believe that Fox would run with a statement like that, without being pretty sure of it, as Petraeus could pretty well body slam them if it was inaccurate. To my knowledge, he has not. My heart wants me to think Petraeus was misquoted. My head says probably not.
Fox’s Catherine Herridge has been reporting on this fiasco from the first. She is an ace reporter and I don’t believe that she would misquote or misunderstand.
