I would think the main reason would be blackmail by the administration. Petraus has to know these thugs are serious. I am not sure he will risk all and do the right thing.
So you remember how great it was years ago. Heart breaking!
Was that news or someone's opinion. And remember, nobody saw John Dean coming.
For Reference ...

No bridge.
San Diego was still a small military town.
Population approximately 300 thousand, maybe less.
Dear God, I hope so!
Right!
I’m glad I don’t have 40 years left.
Not under present conditions!
” leave a good legacy and for my kids a decent future”
