I’m sorry but his work in Iraq with General Flynn was outstanding. He gets my vote. Big time.
I appreciate your comment and opinion. It is not unheard nor ignored.

Same here. I was over there at the time and saw his handiwork even before he arrived. He ordered the arrest, detention and expulsion of the Iranian “diplomats” who were funding and running the insurgency. I read of the howling protests of Iraqi politicians in the medias and witnessed attacks for that week go from their average of ~180 to 7. And they stayed down.
That single act of leadership by Petraeus single-handedly saved the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of US servicemen and women. And for me that was and remains very, VERY important. I still recall young men and women, kids, being blown up outside base after I’d walked past them 20 min.s earlier on my way to work. Fate had it that in 2006 my shift started at same time a scheduled convoy departed Camp Victory. Its assembly point was a parking lot I’d pass on my way to the Al Faw Palace. They usually put the lowest ranking, newest soldier in the HumVee turret of the lead vehicle. I remember their faces and will never forget it is the Iranians and Syrians who sponsored their murder.
