Petraeus of Arabia

If supporters of Israel have been roiled lately by the tense exchanges between Washington and Jerusalem, they are soon in for another shock.

On March 13, a report on the Foreign Policy Magazine website revealed that in mid-January, a team of senior military officers from the U.S. Central Command (responsible for overseeing American security interests in the Middle East) arrived at the Pentagon to brief Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Michael Mullen on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Gen. David Petraeus had sent them to amplify his growing concerns at the lack of progress in bringing the Arab-Israeli conflict to an end. The briefing reflected a growing perception among Arab leaders that the U.S.is incapable of standing up to Israel, that CENTCOM's mostly Arab constituency was losing faith in American promises, and that Israeli intransigence on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was jeopardizing U.S. standing in the region.

"...The report, if true, should be of far deeper concern to Israel's supporters than a temporary spat over housing units in Jerusalem. For if the U.S. military, which has traditionally seen the State of Israel as an important hedge against the rise of Islamic militancy in the Middle East, now sees the nation as a liability, then we may be in for a fundamental realignment of American foreign policy."

And with it they'll bring a curse upon our nation. Well, more of a curse than Obama, Clinton and Pelosi have brought upon us.

Weird, but when you replace the P with a B you get Betraeus.

I wonder if anyone else ever noticed.

“I wonder if anyone else ever noticed.”

Well, no change of a letter, but in 2007 the left used the general’s name in a rhyming play on words that conveyed the same idea.

Of course, outside of the nuts protesting last weekend in D.C., now that Gates, McChrystal and Patreus are marching to Obama’s beat you barely hear a peep out of the Left. What happened to our great military leadership? Why are they all caving into the whims of the Muslim in the W.H.? Who will stand up for America?
