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.

Kardashians-— military style. Funny how in both situations,
Tampa and Charlotte... the husbands in question to the broads were both surgeons. Seriously, even as it merges into obamaomaucare.

Couple more years and her butt will look like a Kenworth.

"And look at who runs SOCOM now."

I thought Rush was in charge at the Southern Command Center.

Who are all of these people who want to go to war.

If there is a better reason, someone should be putting it out there.

I think the folks in the US “want” to believe our government. But their reason just don’t make sense.

It is NEVER right to step out on your wife. Never.

No excuses. No reasons.

A man can ask forgiveness and move on. His wife can chose to leave him, or accept his apology.

But it is never right. Never OK.

You are correct in your first sentence.

The second sentence has since been disproven.

Gotta keep up with your scandals.

This administration’s one and only response to massive shouts of “NO” from the American people is to shove it down our throats. They pull out every stop on every issue.

Now they are fabricating/rolling out big bad Iran, just in case we’re thinking we’re not scared.

Every talk show, every creaky retired general, with the press, to their eternal shame, piling on.

I wish Code Pink would show their red hands at a media focus point.

Because you are giving him a pass because his wife looked her age.

What you wrote is not germain to the conversation.

Who are you that you feel you can judge someone because of their looks. It is a superficial comment that has nothing to do with his actions.
