#4 A White House staffer present at the meeting was quoted by the source as saying: "Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama."

This sounds like leftist anti-military triumphalism.

Petreaus should publicly and noisily resign rather than act against the best interests of the nation and the military.

#5  "Petraeus made the mistake of thinking he was still dealing with George Bush instead of with Barack Obama."

Blustering, arrogant, leftest bastards. None of them would make a pimple on the general's backside. General Petraeus will not abide much of this I can assure you. We'll lose him over it.

#8 I've a family member who spent a considerable amount of time working with the Good General in Iraq. He says the same as Besoeker. If Barry goes ahead with the premature withdrawal, the general will not be around for it.
