GEN. Petraeus,
For God’s sake, sir... come clean. You excelled in so many areas during your illustrious military career, culminating in the surge operation that literally saved Operation Iraqi Freedom from certain failure.
Lift this burden from your heart and your soul. Look deep within yourself and come to realize this evil man for whom you lie and obfuscate is nothing more than a messenger and imp of Satan.
Please... reach inward and grasp onto what remains of your love of the country you so honorably served in uniform and know the truth shall set you free.
No good will come of drawing in a cloak of protection over Barack Obama. Loyalty to your COUNTRY comes first!
Operation Iraqi Freedom was and is a failure. Irag is now an ally of Iran, and the only reason the surge appeared to tamp down violence was that one of the two feuding factions chased the other one out of its areas.
Petraeus has always been a self-promoting tool. He took credit for things that looked like success where he could and got out of town when things looked like they were going south in Afghanistan. He was responsible for the horrible decision to make troops get out of their armored vehicles more to “interact” with the populace. The result was a dramatic increase in our people having their legs and other body parts blown off by IEDs. Even when it became apparent this tactic was a complete failure, it was not stopped.
At least we won’t have to put up with Petraeus running for president, which was probably his ultimate goal.
Maybe he can place a call to Ollie North.
