Exsqueeze me? Gee, why even put media elites at risk by having the in Iraq?
This really reveals a whole butt-load; let's not look at facts or what is actually going on, but stick with pre-conceived and politically motivated ideas.
Yeah, we'd be in great shape with him as our "commander in chief." He only got as close as he did because of the stark raving lunatics of the Left
Oddly, General Petraeus himself might agree with Kerry on this point. In Counterinsurgency Field Manual FM 3-24 (released under the guidance of Petreaus) there is a section with the heading 'Tactical Success Guarantees Nothing.'
So the point isn't that tactical success is anything less than desireable or, in your words, "off the table." The point, in another quote from FM 3-24, is that "...politcal objectives must retain primacy."
But, to be clear, I don't think that Petraeus is being disingenous. His ability to influence Iraqi political objectives is limited.
Remember now, Hanoi John Kerry knows a thing or two about cut and run and being a traitor. He did them all + injured himself, rice in the ass and two paper cuts, to get out of Vietnam early, real early. Someone wake me when this POS dies so I can go pi** on his grave.
The point, in another quote from FM 3-24, is that "...politcal objectives must retain primacy."
Kerry's talking about the political progress in Al Anbar as if it was a tactical success. Therefore Petraeus cannot agree with Kerry as you forwarded.
The picture you've posted of Sen. Kerry immediately prompted me to imagine him with a long, dyed-black beard.
I'm just saying.
