Retired Gen. David Petraeus said Monday that he doesn't "envision" returning to a government position, and said his views don't align with President Trump's on foreign affairs.

“I think there does have to be policy alignment [with Trump,] and I’m not sure that exists, I’m afraid," Petraeus said on BBC Radio 4 when asked if he'd be willing to replace James Mattis as Defense Secretary, as first reported by Time magazine.

OK, General, no one would force you to. In fact, no one has asked you to. Why do you think the question would ever come up?

Don’t bother to answer that. Like the question of your serving in the Trump administration, your response is unnecessary and unwanted.

[Jane Long]

If nobody asked him to serve, does it really matter?

👍🏼

David Petraeus also suggests he might sleep with reporters if they happened to be female, probably. Mostly. For sure if they even look once at his less than handsome face. He also suggests a desk, table, or office floor is perfectly ok.

He must be too busy with man hands...

Disclosure?

[HIDEK6]

Was he asked?

[Sequoyah101]

It doesn’t matter what he thinks. Nobody is asking him.

Thank God!

Foreign affairs, like perpetual war? Perpetual police actions around the world? Wasting American lives overseas when it serves no purpose?

I was talking to a fellow at a New Years Eve party tonight who revealed himself to be a never-Trumper neocon. On the topic of Syria he said "Most Americans don't get it, but Mattis did. America has to throw it's weight around occasionally, even if there is no good reason for it or the reasons are made up. The world relies on us to show we can and will do this, and our own prosperity relies on the world knowing that."

I told him that he was right. "most Americans" don't understand how endless war is a good and necessary thing. That includes me.

[trebb]

Exactly.....

[trebb]

Kind of ironic to see that statement since so many were torqued when the dems labeled him that....

[Darksheare]

The multiple layers of irony aren’t lost on me.
Sadly, the Betrayus label was right
Just for a different reason.

She was a very attractive young woman.

I wonder what you look like, or will when you’re pushing 70 :-)

(Hopefully you look better than this cheater General has ever looked...)
