“If you think Patraeus is in control, you lose.”
Well, if that’s what you meant ... I’d say that sentiment is wrong. Petraeus IS in (effective) control. He has Obama over a barrel and can call the shots. And that’s what your later posts seem to imply. So your posts seem to contradict each other, leaving the reader confused.

I was responding to someone else’s post. Nothing confusing except YOUR POSTS! : P
