Rush Limbaugh played a clip in which then Senator Obama condescendingly questioned General Petraeus about the Surge in Iraq. Remember that
Obama opposed the Surge in Iraq, and said it would never work. Of course, Petraeus was the architect of the Iraq Surge that helped us turn
the corner in that country. Also, remember that MoveOn.Org, a major, major supporter of Obama, took out newspaper ads calling General
Petraeus "General Betray-Us"!
Now, if you were General David Petraeus, how trusting would you be of your Commander in Chief??????? This is a President who will not
hesitate to throw anyone under the bus if it takes heat off him. A major unresolved problem in Afghanistan is that the State Department
team (Holbrooke and Ikenberry) were at odds with McChrystal and Karzai. I don't know that those frictions have gone away.
Obama has shown us yet again that he hasn't a clue about real leadership. He is good at being angry, though.
Thank you, Jim Miller for jogging our memories with the information for this post.
