Comments on: Has General Petraeus taken a back seat in the Obama war room?

I expect Obama will go out of his way to hand the far-left brain-dead zombies a big bone (so they will keep supporting him) with a defeat in Afghanistan since they love seeing America defeated militarily. But he’ll try to make it look like it was out of his control. Already, his massive propaganda infrastructure, i.e. the media, has started to paint the hopelessness of the situation there, to give him cover. It all reminds me of the massive propaganda push the media embarked upon for him a year ago beating down the economy in the news day-to-day to create a self-fulfilling prophecy of economic failure, which resulted in his election. It worked for him then and they figure it will work for him now.

As for Petraeus, I’m sure they fear him politically since he snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in Iraq, after the Democrats said all was lost. And in comparison to Obama he outshines him by many magnitudes, which is troubling for them on many levels. Because the Democrats use wars and soldier’s lives as political pawns, they assume everyone else would too. Hence the cold shoulder for Petraeus. But of course, they are wrong.

I am king, by God and I am the Supreme Leader! How dare you underlings attempt to usurp my supreme, all-econompassing royal power and might! And how dare that pesky Olympic committee not realize that!! And how dare that pesky Petraeus take any recognition or glory or cast a shadow of doubt on my Supreme aura! You serfs expect me to deal with something as stupid and deemed unnecessary and a relic of that buffoon Bush by my Democratic base, war when I am extremely busy taking over everything in America!

Lorica, Lorica, Lorica. Only if you think that most of us knuckle-dragging, hateful, racist, Nazi terrorists would actually vote for a man just because he blueprinted winning strategies in two separate wars just so Bush could enrich his friends with oil and keep the opium flowing freely in the ghettos.

My, oh my, you’ve got to look at this from the perspective of the enlightened.

Ya know, I sure hope that Duh-1 will stop running for president last year sometime.

In order for the general to run for president, he would have to resign his commission and start campaigning now.

I disagree with that Leslie. It’s not like Petraeus doesn’t have a great deal of name recognition already. Yes he would have to resign sometime after the 2010 elections, but victory in both Iraq and Afghanistan would be campaign enough to get him elected. – Lorica

Ah, Joseph… aren’t you forgetting? Only the Liberals can make comparisons to Nazis. We are now in the ers of “they can/you can’t” and welcome to Administration Corrupt!

“The concept of an honest man who is more concerned with doing his job well and winning a war for his country are completely alien to them.”

Well said. And true.

Obama spent over $2 million on flying to Copenhagen. The AP said he spent 25 minutes with General McChrystal. How much time did he spend on the Olympic bid? I think we know what his priorities are.

What do we expect from a president who is always campaigning? That is all Obama knows; organizing and campaigning. God help our troops because this president refuses to help them!

Of course the White House thinks Petraeus is just campaigning and is tilting his opinions to make himself look good, they are just projecting their own attitudes on him, which liberals seem to do instinctively. The concept of an honest man who is more concerned with doing his job well and winning a war for his country are completely alien to them.

I seem to remember another dear leader who wouldn’t listen to his Generals. He was called Der Fuhrer.
At least Hitler made corporal. Anybody know what Zerobama’s rank was?

What Carlos said. It almost looks as if Obama feels threatened by anyone who just might be smarter, more competent, or even have more “star power” than he does. (Witness the marginalization of Hillary.)

Our military has never lost a war.

It has been inept political incompetency that pulled victory out from under our troops.

Afghanistan appears to be another Obama foible.
