Then he should keep his mouth shut on every loaded political questions no matter how good he is at speaking neutral.

Today, every quote is spun, over-analyzed, distorted or exagerrated by the whoremedia.

I don't remember in past wars where Generals and Admirals were questioned by the media everytime they turned around. Eisenhower? Leahy?

Pershing (for gawd's sake)?

No one is forcing Petraeus to open his yap.
