PELOSI SCAPEGOATS PETRAEUS PING
Nancy Pelosi’s credibility notwithstanding, can we trust anything Petraeus says or does?
His irresponsibility is something that’s very hard to understand or forget. Not at his level.

Which one to believe, the lying liar or the liar that’s always lying?
All the training in the world cannot instill a desire to stand and fight. Or to charge a machine gun.

A leader is responsible for results in the areas that they control.
Petraeus never turned down a promotion, so he must have wanted to be in control.
He deserves part of the blame.
Obama was and is responsible for foreign affairs for our country. He has made a hash of it. He bears the burden of being the person most responsible for our military problems.
Just because a person can have a job doesn’t mean that person should take the job if he can’t handle it. Obama was never prepared to be President. The Democrat Party nominated him and elected him.
The Democrat Party is responsible for our military problems.
Don’t like how things are going in Iraq and Afghanistan? Don’t vote Democrat.
The issue with the Iraqi security forces isn’t training, it’s leadership and logistical support.PM Maliki purged the Sunni Generals the instant we pulled out. He appointed Shiite lackeys to those posts. Many of them had no military training. Many of the rank and file Sunni soldiers said screw it and left. As for logistics, the Iraqi govt corruption prevents the beans, bullets, and band-aids from getting to the units that need them most. Putting this on Petreus is crap.
I will be buying myself a bottle of champagne when that woman retires.
In Sand Land, ‘Allah’s Will’ trumps training every time.
This is Pelosi eating one of her own and not taking any of the blame herself being as she was responsible for so much. Petraeus is a liberal from head to toe as exposed in his civilian rants about the North American Union (with Pelosi), his COIN strategy and his rules of engagement on and off the battlefield,

Can you imagine being a conservative and having to survive the politics of the military machine under this administration? Many didn’t. I wonder if they can be called back by a true constitutional Commander-In-Chief worthy of the sacrifices of our boots on the ground?
Pelosi can pretend all she wants that nothing happened in Iraq or in the U.S., from 2009 on, that changed the security picture in Iraq, just as she can pretend Obama and Maliki did everything the could have to sustain the gains made up to 2008. They didn’t.
But history knows, millions of Americans know and millions of Iraqis know that Obama and Maliki, together, lost all the security gains that had been made up to 2008, and together they had the ability to act differently and prevent that, but they failed to.
If Democrats were smart they’d tell their “blame Bush” for everything crowd to shut up. On second thought, let them keep it up.
