Former CIA Director David Petraeus on Friday called out politicians who are spreading “anti-Muslim bigotry” in a Washington Post op-ed.
Petraeus wrote that he was concerned about “proposals from various quarters for blanket discrimination against people on the basis of their religion,” an implicit shot at presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has called for a ban on Muslims entering the country.
“Some justify these measures as necessary to keep us safe — dismissing any criticism as ‘political correctness,’ ” Petraeus wrote. “Others play down such divisive rhetoric as the excesses of political campaigns here and in Europe, which will fade away after the elections are over.

Hard he meant to say.
Philandering loser.
‘BETRAY US’. Okay, now I’m on board with this play on words.
Why does he do this OpEd now? Did someone put him up to this? It is odd.
I thought he was in jail?
Stupid move by Petraeus - perhaps part of his plea deal or perhaps Obama has some more things on him and the Statute of Limitations hasn’t run out.
Because "someone" has something else on him that would damage what's left of his legacy.
He was the one who went off on the Florida Pastor who was burning to Korans claiming it would get soldiers killed.
I say if anything it would have drawn the enemy out and made it easier to kill more of them.
Trump has called for a TEMPORARY ban on Muslims entering the country until they can be properly vetted. What the hell is so difficult to understand about that?
maybe he can go after the government which won’t go after Clinton like they did to him.
There was a lot of “anti-Nazi” bigotry during the 40’s, too.
“Demonizing a religious faith and its adherents not only runs contrary to our most cherished and fundamental values as a country.”
I thought CIA people were supposed to be intelligent. Every intelligent person knows what demonic Islam demands, even the inbred Islamists know its convert or die.
Then again, the CIA did birth Bushes and Clintons, so...
Sorry, General, you CLEARLY do not understand! Probably all that sensitivity training the white shirts in the Pentagon put you through. Most of THEM were put there by the Bush Clan — who were very, very cozy with the Saudis and their “money” or obozo — is A FELLOW MUZZIE!
Spot on. Spend 40 minutes with Bill Warner as he explains that “radical islam” is a myth. There is ONLY ISLAM and it is ALL RADICAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjBDDC4wVxk
All part of Petraeus' attempt to rehabilitate himself with the leftist elite. I'm sure he's still hoping for a MSM guest commentator slot. You can sell a lot of books that way.
I have no desire to discriminate against individuals. But when did this become a muslim country?
Betrayus is so far in the blackmail bag at this point anything he says is bogus. The guy is desperate to hang on to his pension. But he was always a globalist.
He is not taking his castration very well...
Petraeus is a globalist traitor. He’s now a proponent of unhindered immigration into this country and the creation of the North American Union.
not understanding either how hard this is to grasp.
Muslims have said they want to come here and kills us. Muslim s have come here and killed us. Why not stop them for a while and figure out a batter way to do background checks on all of them before they come here.
It really is not that hard , even for a mental midget like so many of the left are.
