Ex-Gen. David Petraeus says Hillary Clinton would ‘make a tremendous President’
The New York Daily News ^ | February 9, 2014 | Adam Edelman

Former Army Gen. David Petraeus , who has traditionally stayed away from political endorsements, appears to be eager to support a Hillary Clinton candidacy, a new book alleges.

“She’d make a tremendous President,” the former commander and CIA director reportedly says in the new book “HRC: State Secrets and the Rebirth of Hillary Clinton,” by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes.

“Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times,” Petraeus adds.

The comments mark an interesting departure for Petraeus, who, when it comes to politics, has typically remained quiet.

The book, to be released Tuesday, alleges that the unlikely pair forged a friendship while Clinton was Secretary of State.

According to excerpts of “HRC,” obtained by ABC News, Clinton, soon after taking office, invited Petraeus to her Washington home to drink wine and discuss Middle East issues. The night was so enjoyable that she invited him over again the next night to continue their chat.

You ask “What position was he promised?
How about “Chief Butt Boy”.

Petraeus is a kook who went over to the other side. Probably from watching too much Star Wars. He’s got the hots now for Slick Willie’s wife. But hey! She’s responsible for the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. What’s not for a liberal ex-general to love?

...as opposed to her liberal supervisor in the Watergate hearings who said she was an ethically deficient liar and not fit for rehire for any position.

See was power can buy you? Simpering ex-Generals among other things.

Yet another reason to loathe this man. Makes one wonder what happens to these people. Do they get taken to some secret facility for some type of mind alteration or does he just have some really weird, kinky stuff on his computer that they’re blackmailing him with?

Hillary was right when she called him “General Be-tray-us.” He’s now betraying U.S. Obviously, the Clintons have the NSA info.

I thought the same at one time.

What a disappointment.

He could hang out with her sexual predator husband and ask for pointers on how not to get caught in an adulterous affair.

Beating the tar out of our current SecDef & Hillary & Betrayus isn’t a high standard. I’m sure 2ndDivisionVet could clear that hurdle effortlessly.

Most patriots could...
