Did the liberals attack a man, who has given his life to the service of his country, purely out of politics?

Question

In General Petraeus?

Exacly how low do you think the will stoop to win the next election?

Answer 1

the funny thing about the left is that they have no standard, yet want to hold every one they disagree with to the highest standard. Hillary questioning of Petraeus was absurd. Yet she wants to focus on 'positive Politics". She is a hypocrat but as long as her hypocracy helps the left they are fine with it.

No ethics purely consequentialism

Answer 2

There are 2 things to consider:

1) Everything, regardless of what side does it, is done purely out of politics to gain an advantage. If it means winning elections, any party will stoop as low as they have to.

2) Washington has become partisan to the point that every side believes that the other side will do anything or coerce anyone into backing up their point of view.

Answer 3

You know, I didn't agree with the way the ad was worded, but to listen to most of my fellow Republicans today, it's as though you believe that they didn't have a right to question a general. Sorry, but for all their valor, they still work for us, the citizens. We have a right to question them, and perhaps disagree with their portrayal of things on the ground.

There's so much misinformation floating around about Iraq, on both sides, that it is increasingly difficult to make a sensible decision on it. As a result, I'm increasingly willing to consider the idea that perhaps we're into something that we don't truly know how to handle. One thing I do know for certain - we're not getting a full story from either side on this. And that concerns me greatly.

Answer 4

No we did it because he deserved it you can't LIE to the American people and get away with it unless of course they're the kool aid drinking branch of the Republican party

He tells the foriegn press this
“It has not worked out as we had hoped,” the general said

“Many of us had hoped this summer would be a time of tangible political progress at the national level,” Petraeus wrote. “All participants, Iraqi and coalition alike, are dissatisfied by the halting progress on major legislative initiatives,” he wrote.


but tells the American press this
“Based on the progress our forces are achieving, I expect to be able to recommend that some of our forces will be redeployed without replacement,” he told the Boston Globe by email on Friday…. “Few of these political solutions would have been possible without the improved security provided by coalition and Iraqi forces.”


and here's a link to the artcle where he states the surge DIDN'T WORK

Answer 6

His speech was taken to him by Bush 's to Iraq on his way to the Summit. That speech was written by Bush speech writers. He can watch a person face when they lie , their check twitches and their eyes show that they are not being honest. That was Bush speech all the way.

Answer 8

oddly, these same guys who think that asking general petreus questions about the quagmire is unpatriotic were the same guys who thought it was just swell to attack decorated war vets, john kerry and max clelland.

to this day, i've never heard a single repub or con or neocon apologize for those hideous lies that were told strictly in the name of elections.

you sir, have selective piety, reason, logic, scruples and morals...

Answer 9

They didnt attack him because he was GAY!(hes not)

Answer 10

Those big meanie libs. Too bad you don't think the General is a big enough boy to take care of himself.

PS
I love the irony of you complaining about the politicizing of the General's situation as you politicized it yourself.
