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.

“Sorry, General, you CLEARLY do not understand!”
Of course he understands.
Further proof that having four stars on your shoulder or collar doesn’t make you smart. Guess he hasn’t heard that religion is but one component of Islam. Besides, he ought to be in a cell right next to Hillary...
How do you feel about Hillary getting a slap on the wrist for major security violations after you faced felony charges and eventually had to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information?
Substitute “faux” for “neo” when it comes to con.
It makes more sense that way.
This is an odd essay from someone who has been so viciously screwed by the administration that is trying to sell the same BS Islam appeasement policy.
Cui bono?
What’s he want?
I used to have some respect for the man.
What is wrong with it is that Moslems must be barred entry, all of them, and those currently resident must be expelled. This is truly a civilizational war and we are allowing the enemy to have an army on our soil.
What an idiot — blustering against the very person who has been defending him. Has some shady gummit agency been giving him mind-altering drugs?
Is this part of his penance to the WH Powers?
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.
now that is exactly what is going on.
“Dangerous Dave” indeed.
He does make sense on a lot of levels for Hillary Rotten Clinton. She needs help with men. Petraues worked for Bush so he is perceived as being a Republican. Helps Hillary run as a centrist. The kenyan can campaign for the black vote. The Dems will run against Trump with Hispanics. Honestly, I’d say Petraeus has as a good a shot as anybody as being Hillary’s VP.
So basically Petraeus is a whore.
illary voter is all!
?
This man knows nothing of Islam or its history.
Didn’t expect this of him. Sounds anti-American.
you had your chance and blew it.
Frightening that this man was chief of the CIA.
Probably part of his parole/probation conditions. Tell the public what we tell you to say or it’s back to prison.
