Liberals have never questioned the performance, sacrifice, commitment, courage or quality of the military. It’s the always been about the reasoning of invading Iraq in the first place, and the only logical conclusion remains oil. That as a White house goal has also been an abject failure as the contracts and control of the oil fields has gone to China. Surge or no surge our brave men and women continue to die unnecessarily and John McCain’s notion to stay in Iraq until their deaths are justified is obscene.It was wrong to go into Iraq in 2003 and it is still wrong today.
You right wing conservatives just keep telling yourselves that we have a reason to be there and maybe some day you will start to believe it yourselves.

Thank you, Austin.

While it could never come close to being an adequate expression of gratitude for rescuing this enterprise … thank you, General Petraeus and all those who served with you.

Great work!

Too many Americans, especially on the left, don’t understand how professional our military has become, and how well educated its members are – from the low ranking enlisted to the top generals. US military forces are now made up of true professionals – well selected, well educated, well motivated, brave and capable.

Interesting to have the ideas of Gen Petraeus presented so clearly.
What we are seeing here, with Pajamasmedia and Col Bay’s Arena is a new media information channel, that can displace the old MSM fossil media’s bias and ignorance.

The people who criticize this man have utterly no idea of just how intelligent and broadly read he is. An intellectual warrior who also understands diplomacy. I’m glad I took the time to read this interview. It was worthwhile.

Plus, you can tell he loves his soldiers and cares for them. His closing remarks are humble and full of that sense of comraderie that all veterans understand.

I’m wondering what Gen. Petraeus must think of Obama? Would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when Sen. Obama came to town to chat with the general. But I’m sure it will be years before we find out what transpired there. After he retires from the service.

Nah ..you mean JK Rowling for President…the hack writer of repetitious childrens books voted by our media to be PERSON OF THE YEAR instead of Gen. Petraeus. And after all its the media that counts..they manufacture the candidates..as our idiotic infatuation with Obama proves.

President David Petraus?
I’m all for that.
