Listen to these advisors - they are ludicrous as they DEMAND our and the world’s respect for the empty suit.

RE: “It has occurred to me that this CiC couldn’t make it thru basic training.”

**********************

Ding ding ding!!!!!! Winner! This CIC (”campaigner in chief” as another poster noted) is such a weakling — I doubt Zero could make it through one WEEK of basic training.

Goldie Hawn in Private Benjamin turned out to be tougher than Zero!

She did it once — why not again? I think she might — powerful team, yes? Let’s not kid ourselves, Hillary would’ve happily accepted the post as well. And Palin’s much younger............. more time to hone the skills

“if Gen. does not get reinforcements 0 looks like a bad CIC and indecisive.”

My money is on 0 doing some worthless half-measure like deploying 15K to 20K troops for a limited amount of time. After all there’s the loony lefty base to satisfy, not to mention President Soros growing impatient with his little puppet. Soon President Soros will pull the string that activates a surrender and withdrawal from Afghanistan.

FURIOUS. They do not employ words such as angered, miffed, snubbed, indignant, upset, or critical. The word chosen carefully, after the paper’s lawyers gave the go-ahead, was furious

This article has receive much attention, is posted on Drudge. The Telegraph has now change the title from "Furious" to Angered

No President should ever be elected without military experience. It must be terriblty humiliating for a general who worjked his way to the top ranks to be ordered to report to a Kenyan who hates America.

Man you got that right.

The Founders should have put in "two years minimum of military service or as Governor (head of state militia) of a state" in the Constitution.

The Founders in their wildest dreams never could have expected anything like Obama to fool enough Americans to get into the White house.

I think they wanted us to have the right to bear arms for a reason.

If Obama doesn’t want truth from his Generals, what does he want?>

My money is on blaming the coming "Purposeful" failure on Bush.

How does this differ from Gen Washington going publicly to the Continental Congress and begging for funds to pay his troops after Valley Forge?

You have to watch which "expert" you choose to listen to, especially when they teach at Yale.

And all he cares about is how he looks. Which is all anyone needs to know. Where that ends is plain as day; it ends in surrender and retreat.

To go on living in his media cocoon of self righteous make believe, of course. Like every other liberal on earth. Reality is something to play smash-mouth with and avoid at all costs.

“Petraeus/Palin indeed!!! Powerful!”

Thanks for your reply. I just think we need a non-politician next time around. Someone who thinks of country first rather than party first.

We need a new ‘Freedom Party’ not just a conservative or libertarian party. I’m a conservative/libertarian for sure but labels turn the sheeple off. We need a re-Founding. We need a General Washington.

Just heard on the news about Petraeus’s prostate cancer. God bless him.
