Zero can give Petraeus the tools and means to win or how about Mr Commander in Chief Obama can go to Afghanistan in person and personally direct the war.

I’m wondering if Petraeus may have a lot more standing with Zer0 than McChrystal did. Petraeus proved himself in Iraq when most Dems laughed at him and some insinuated he was lying.

If it should turn out that Zer0 fires Petraeus as well then I believe it will only make Zer0 look more the fool, but maybe not.

He’ll fire Petraeus if Petraeus starts winning. I think there’s a power struggle going on in DC - Obama vs. Dems. As Rush pointed out, most Dems don’t want to be perceived as “losing,” and there are probably even a few of them who understand what is at stake here and that keeping fanatical Islamists from returning and destroying a place we had already liberated from them is vitally important.

The problem is that Obama is on the side of the fanatical Islamists, and while he’s dumb as a post and lazy as all get out, he has this one obsession and he will absolutely insist on doing everything to prevent the US from exterminating the Taliban.

I don’t know how he’s going to do it, but if Petraeus manages to get things on track there, Obama will undermine it.

In 2007 The Won stood with MoveOn.Org as they called him “General Betray us”. Sec. of State Clinton went so far as to vote AGAINST condemning MoveOn’s ad, one of 25 Senators to do so (3 abstained from voting, 2 were Barack and Biden).

Now they want to revise the historical record. They called him a traitor on the floor of the Senate. THAT my friends is treason. Standing with Soros’ socialist front to slur our US military in a time of war.

Now they want to make nice. And to think they have the balls to call out the General they fired over “improper remarks”.
