Petraeus: "I Don't Know" If My Strategy Makes America Safer

Bush makes a big deal out of how much he says he listens to the generals-- and yet his own top general can't say that the war is making America safer? Sounds about right.

I'm a huge opponent of the war, but quite honestly I thought his answer was on the money. It really isn't his job to determine if the war makes America 'safer'. It's his job to conduct the war he is ordered to wage.

I American Hero is Gen. Powell U.S. Army Ret., General Washington, Audie Murphy, all the men and women who died or substained some sort of injury in combat. I can tell you this, this man loves his country, but most of all, he loves himself more. This general actually tried to become one of the 5 star generals, give me a break. He's a soldier,very well educated, loves his country, has did he's service, but he hasn't made the sacrifices that so many before him made.

"Multinational Force Iraq Commander."

Sorry, that title confused me a bit...

its the Generals job to follow orders .... not to make policy .. what don't you get about that ?????

What a fucking hack job fuck you for editing and making an American hero look bad. You should be ashamed of yourself if you aren't then you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

His job is Iraq! Great hack job next time play the whole clip! CONTEXT!

fucking congress/Senators always thinking they no mmore then a fucking GENERAL! then trying to act smarter then them. god.. fuckign poitics suck.

A stabilied Iraq is supposed to make us safe, so him saying he doesn't know whether or not it'll make us safer means he doesn't know if Iraq can be stabilized at all.

Alberto Gonzalez: "I don't recall."

General David Petraeus: "I don't know."

Why do our high-ranking figures of authority suck at remembering things?

YAWN!

To get back on topic, the bottom line is Betrayus is a lying bastard and is nothing more than a treasonous chump that should be hanging on the end of a rope. Obviously you enjoy cheerleading your criminal hero! LOL LOL

Yes you do usually have to prove somebody is doing something before you accuse them. I'm very far from liking Bush or this war but I'm not so "ignorant" as to decide things about people before I even hear what they have to say. He's supposed to stabilize Iraq, not philosophize about how safe that may or may not make us.
