Patraeus is the consummate military General. He doesn’t get to pick his boss. You and I do and if we elect a commie SOB, that becomes his boss.

***** “Patraeus is the consummate military General. He doesn’t get to pick his boss. You and I do and if we elect a commie SOB, that becomes his boss.” *****

WRONG

He isn’t General any more (He held the Rank and is referred to as ... but his Job now / was that a Government Employee the head of the CIA “Director of the CIA” he retired from the Army...

“On June 30, 2011, Petraeus was unanimously confirmed as the next Director of the CIA by the U.S. Senate 94-0.[16] Petraeus relinquished command of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan on July 18, 2011 and retired from the U.S. Army on August 31, 2011”

He is a Civilian not Military. He picked his Boss!

TT

Patraeus is the consummate military General.

I'll take your word for it. It's just hard to believe that anyone other than a politician could rise to the top in today's PC military.

And why would a Marxist like Obama want someone heading the CIA who is a patriot?
