NEW YORK, March 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AJC warmly welcomed remarks by CENTCOM Commander General David Petraeus in which he denied that the perceived pro-Israel slant of U.S. foreign policy endangers the lives of American troops serving in his area of responsibility, which includes Iraq and Afghanistan.

I wish this man would run for President.

I wonder about Gen Petraeus, after reading Diana West articles recently—

“Furthermore, Nigeria, Somalia, and Sudan (members of the Arab League to which all the Arab “moderates” belong) are also, according to the general’s thinking, conducting their Jihad because Israel just won’t cut a deal with the Arabs by signing a suicide note.
Well, it is all nonsense driven by a desire to placate the oil gusher kingdoms. But then, there is no surprise here. Generals make lousy politicians.
As one prominent conservative commentator put it to me in a recent email (that I quote in this week’s upcoming syndicated column):
I would think that Jewish leaders would be appalled by Petraeus’s statement ( “The Jew’s are protecting their property with the blood from the bodies of our dead young men” !!!) It is about 95% the way to the “blood libel” that, I hate to admit, Christians used in the middle ages against the Jewish people.

Just shocking. Did he understand what he was saying? I wonder.”
