Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.” “Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.

With Congress set to return from summer break on Monday, Obama’s request is in trouble in the Senate and on a path to an embarrassing loss in the House. He will sit for interviews Monday with six TV networks as he makes his case for military intervention in Syria ahead of an address to the nation on Tuesday.

Apparently the "General Betray Us" crowd had inside information.

[cripplecreek]

I don’t know but I think Americans are pretty much done with war for a while and its especially true of wars that have no point.

[Cyber Liberty]

Let him go. He’s just making his payback for all the free sex Obastard scored for him.

[Slyfox]

Fixing to be a real betray-us, huh?

[DoughtyOne]

You beat me to it.

This does not look good at all. Any guy with military savvy would avoid Syria like the plague, IMO, unless...

[tennmountainman]

Betrayus was caught lying for Obama about Benghazi.
He has been disgraced not only for his lying, but for his young squeeze
on the side.
His opinion carries no weight with me.

Ya think they’re all compromised? Seems to be a lot of agreement on that?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

I just saw “White House Down” movie—a real joke in light of what’s happening—Radial right wingers try to kill thge president to stop him from making peace in the Middle East—now the truth is Obama wants war! the movie was a fantasy Obama—a Peace-prise obama that doesn’t exist (if it ever did) and evil Republicans want war in the Middle East—now the right want peace and the president wants war—what a reversal—what Irony. Obama is so out of it.

"Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus"

Shouldn't he just stay retired?

[OwenKellogg]

He’s “all in”.

He’s compromised.

He’s “old school”.

He’s embarrassing.

He’s now a tool.

[krunkygirl]

I don’t usually swear but,
FUGP!

[sport]

Yep! They are all, to one degree or another, compromised.

[Iscool]

Do these people think those thousands of muzlim, Russian, Iranian, and Chinese ship to ship missiles, ground to ship missiles, ground to air missiles and ground to ground missiles are going to sit there idle while our military takes outs targets in front of Syria's allies??? Does Obama and Petraeus think they are bluffing???
