"A few years back the Left called him General Betrayus ..."

Yes. I remember it well. Guess they wanted to uh, "move on".

“On a side note, what is it with squirrels and chipmunks lately? I have never seen so much roadkill in my life and squirrels and chipmunks constitute the bulk of it. What reckless little animals.”

You know, of course, that the squirrel and chipmunk economy is really bad right now. Mostly because all of the nuts are in Washington (Weiner excluded). As a result, all of the squirrel and chipmunk suicide hot lines are being overwhelmed!

The only Obama birth certificate that matters is the vault copy, original, Certificate of Live Birth which remains on file in a bound volume at the Hawaii Department of Health. Internet posted copies and scans of birth certiificates are irrelevant.

For Immediate Release: October 31, 2008
STATEMENT BY DR. CHIYOME FUKINO
“There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama’s official birth certificate. State law (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record.
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai‘i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai‘i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.
“No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai‘i.”

“The state of Hawaii has said that he was born there. That’s good enough for me.” —Representative John Boehner, Speaker of the House of Represenatives

He is now an Obama whore.

I have ZERO respect for the guy.

He cares more about his salary and his career than he does about the nation. He could have taken the CIA gig as a 4-star active duty General, but he found out he could double dip and make more money if he retired, collected his 4-star pay, and got the SES promotion to CIA. Other active duty Generals took the position as full flag officers to avoid the double dip.......not this guy.

His "Counter Insurgency" (COIN) strategy was a terrible failure. He thinks Muslims will love us if we fist bump their kids enough.

Never mind the whole "Islam is evil" thingy. Hey! Let's all be pluralistic! Who is say what is "evil?" Huh? Can't we all just get along?

Begone you 4-star Obama whore.

Obama put him in the Cabinet because he doesn’t want Petraeus running for President.

When you're driving at 100 MPH with your headlights off, trying to run down chipmunks, sometimes the squirrels get in the way. Call it collateral damage.

People seem to think Petraeus is a great general. As someone with a military background...I don’t like him. He isn’t a soldier, he is a politician. He didn’t make thinga right in Iraq, he just bribed better than the Bathests. Personnally, I’m glad he is essentially out of the Army. He was for a “kinder gentler army.” I believe in “total war.” He is one of those “negotiate” types. Also, any general that can florish under the Obama administration is probably a closet liberal. I like intelligent thinking leaders...but this guy is too cerebal.

I’m reading a book now called God’s War on Terror by Walid Shoebat a former Muslim who gave his life to Christ many years ago. He has confirmed so many things that I had read and heard about muslims. Basically, it is holy for them to lie to infidels. The convert of die is in the Koran. It is a religion of war and politics. There is no getting friendly with these people. They are taught to hate, especially Jews and Christians at a very young age. Even the so called moderate Muslims believe these things and will lie. Just like Arafat did for years. There is no way to make peace with these people. There culture/religion won’t allow it, doesn’t subscribe to it. It is all about conquering, submission and conversion. I’ve always hated to lump people all together. But, it would appear that there really is no moderate muslims. Only pretend moderates.

I didn’t mean to say that Petraeus is an incompetent General. He was a very effective General and understood we would not win a war of insurgency with conventional methods killing them all and letting God sort them out.

What I mean is that, Obama is implementing Soro’s agenda, and to do so means not putting the best men for the job in the jobs where they can be effective, but burying them where they can’t be effective, so he can work his communist schemes behind the scenes.

For example, Petraeus would have been perfect for the Joint Chiefs position, but instead Obama installs the much weaker and inferior Dempsey. He bury’s Petraeus at CIA, where Petraeus has absolutely no experience with US intelligence. And he puts Panetta in the Pentagon.

There were far better picks for each of these positions, if you REALLY wanted to fulfill the traditional pro-US missions these positions have performed. But that is not Obama’s communist agenda. So he takes great candidates suited for other roles and then puts them in the wrong place so they basically are out of his way, and he isn’t interfered with by someone stronger in that roll.

This is just like when he picked Hitlery for SOS to get rid of her. Puts her in a corner to keep her out of the way and prevent a strong SOS from stymieing him. That is what he did with Petraeus. That is what I was referring to.

So, offering the “evidence” that Petraeus didn’t sink his long, distinguished career that still has places to go (i.e. CIA director, likely Cabinet appointments, maybe even VPOTUS or POTUS) over something that was very obviously going to go nowhere,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yep! When did convenience and a career become more important than the military code of honor? Do they teach this at West Point and our other military academies? (Just wondering)

Rat traps baited with peanut butter works. Or a nice little terrier.

A nice little terrier? What are you catching? Alligators?

What do you think would happen if Petraeus came out tomorrow demanding a real birth certificate?
