Comrade Hubris Sonic, do not underestimate moose and squirrel. Soviet Bloc fell apart due to sabotage by moose and squirrel. 
I am sure my old Team Sgt. would have been more creative, but I'm a simple man and i prefer the classics.
Naah. In this case, I would say that the military approach of KISS makes a lot more sense.
Besides which, these people wouldn't have the requisite intelligence to follow a logical train of thought if you concentrated all their IQ points in a single wingnut's brain.
I don't even understand what the goal of such a project would be. Petraeus got his fourth star by becoming a Republican Party operative. He is the one that is politicizing it.
Seemed like a cheap shot at Chomsky. If there is some sort of cult following of him it really isn't his fault. He is one of the only anarchist intellectuals there is.
I think it's based on the Truman Show, rather than Harry S
zomg! Teh rabid bloggers are attacking betra- uh, Petraeus!!!
how uncivil! how unruly! Tut-tut!
I sent an email to the nattering nabobs myself, more or less along the lines of Hubris above.
BTW, ol' Admiral Fallon seems to have a similar view of ol' Gen Shitbag: Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that"
So who's Admiral Fallon? Betray-us's Boss
And in followup:
A crucial element of Petraeus's path of advancement in the Army, on the other hand, was through serving as an aide to senior generals. He was assistant executive officer to the Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Carl Vuono, and later executive assistant to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Henry Shelton. His experience taught him that cultivating senior officers is the key to success.
So this is the bootlicker we're supposed to swoon over? Please. I wouldn't use his COIN manual to wipe my ass - the squelch oil running off the pages would chap my delicate skin.
The question is, do we let Truman's legacy be interpreted by a guy who claims that he would walk over broken glass for John McCain?
Because if there's one thing we know for sure about Truman, it's that he believed if you run a fake Republican against a real Republican, the Republican will win every time.
Which works out for Wittmann whether Lieberman or McCain ends up ascendant.
Nice work if you can get it.
Hey, uh, I was looking through the list of Truman's Advisory Board and the "Websites featuring Truman Democrats" at the bottom of the page, and I was wondering if, uh, any of those people calling for this action had ever served in the military themselves.
I'm pretty certain Madeleine Albright, Leslie Gelb, William Perry, John Podesta, Wendy Sherman, and Anne-Marie Slaughter haven't (Perry was SecDef, of course). Ivo Daalder? Rachel Kleinfeld? I don't think so.
