Well , what if Hillary wins the presidency ? What are all our honorable , decorated military officers to think ? Hillary just called Petraeus a liar . Now you can mince words all you want but the military officers see this as her calling Petraeus a liar . Why ? - Simple , because Petraeus is widely respected throughout the entire military . And lest we forget , he was also respected a few months ago by the Democratic Party when they UNANIMOUSLY approved him .
General Tommy Franks(another General widely respected both in the military and even recently by the Democratic Party) said that he's appalled at what Hillary did to Petraeus . He tried to remain diplomatic , however his disgust with her was quite apparent .
How Could Anybody Or Any General Do Their Job Efficiently , If They Know That No Matter What , Their Boss Will Think They're A Liar ?

well people would also lose their jobs if their boss lied under oath, or sexually harrassed an intern, but that never happened during Slick Willy's term.
I don't know why politicians (ALL POLITICIANS) aren't held to a higher standard.
I think Hillary is a horrible person, I don't know if she knows right from wrong, and I think she only wants people that agree with her, basically a dictatorship. I think she will try to get her agenda through at all costs, as will some other Dems, who make up false things about the president and that is scary that there are enough people dumb enough to believe her.

You can be effective if your boss thinks you are a liar though you will be looking to and need to leave that job ASAP. If Hillary is elected President we will have a massive surge of people leaving the military. Under Bill Clinton the moral of the military was extreamly low and this will happen again.

The general has much more credibility than any Clinton ever had.
There is alot of time left for Hillary to blow the nomination and she is doing a bang up job of it so far.

Because the employees are responsible for the American people. Are you suggesting that the Generals only care about their boss, and not the soldiers and civilians they are responsible for? People join the military for a multitude of reasons. The biggest reason is to serve their country. Not just the President.

I think that Hillary is a liar and a disgrace to this country.
Does she think that because LIES are such a part of her life that everyone acts like she does? I don't lie. General Patraeus does not have a history of lies the way the Clintons do.
I BELIEVE PEOPLE UNTIL THEY GIVE ME A REASON NOT TO...
General David Patraeus has not given me a reason NOT TO.
Hillary is a proven liar, as is her husband(?) Bill.

Generals don't run this country, the president does. If she wants to can his as* the minute she gets into office it's her privilege to do so.
And Bush hiding behind a general is really pathetic. The buck always seems to stop some where else with W doesn't it.

Actually We are the Boss of the president and I think he is a liar, but I guess that is ok for you because he is republican.
You know what I have no reason to doubt the General, he is the one over there, we are not. However to think that someone that is close contact with Bush and his adminstration, can't be persuded is just plain ignorant.

That is the problem with Hillary's comments and it shows she has never gotten over her contempt with the military and law enforcement she showed as First Lady.

Petraeus has exploded on the democrats like Fat Boy on Hiroshima. Then to top that they get moveon.org involved and that creates a huge shock wave through the nation, all Bush has to say tonight is I stand behind Petraeus and his Iraqi plan will continue to move forward. The democrats really stuck their foot in their mouth on this one, tried to get too clever a little to early.

I don't think he needs to worry about working for someone that calls him a liar. If Hillary wins, the military will be scrapped.
