Hit piece. That guy has an axe to grind. Of course Petraeus didn't know, he was pulled out of the hat and assigned the job at the last minute. He wasn't expecting the job nor lobbying for it. Obama gave it to him out of the blue after firing McCrystal.
As for the people not slamming Petraeus at the hearings? They did that last time and they all ended up looking like fools afterwards because he proved them wrong and made fools out of them. They're not going to go after him a second time.
Yes. This is just news among the news. Sometimes I post things from Military.com that I don't particularly agree with, but which are interesting enough that someone might want to read them.
I've been more lax than usual about that lately, but it's because half the time (or more) my energy is in the toilet and I hurt all over -- bad feet, bad back, you name it. Not sure why; my energy was coming back splendidly after a three-year downhill slump after I got out of the hospital last year, apparently because I was no longer taking three powerful blood-pressure medications (Northwest Hospital told my nurse-practitioner never, ever to put me on Lisinopril or Verapimil again, on pain of death). But lately I've been feeling lousier and lousier. My new primary care type, a GP named Chris Smith, put me on Prednisone for the joint pains and other inflammations I have, and while I'm on it, it helps. But I was out for about 10 days because he was out of town and it took a while for his nurse to okay a refill and then for me to get to the pharmacy to pick it up. So I put a lot of links up to which I don't add much in the way of my own comment, because the link is worth checking out, but I just don't have what it takes to do more
