If you click on the link above it will take to the 'place' Petraeus was before being REDEPLOYED to Iraq. He was teaching American soldiers at Leavenworth. Below is one of his classes.
When Petraeus came back to 'report' regarding Iraq, the Republicans mounted a campaign against the American people and the media is all about 'striking up the band' for Bush with less than two years to complete in office.
There has been a lot of 'fuss' over 527 ads regarding the General. Don't know why, it would seem as though there actually is more hype to the reports than anyone wants to admit, so I intend to sort through some of the realities now being lost in the media as the focus falls OFF Iraq, Baghdad and the withdrawal of USA troops and ONTO the 'quality' of citizen and legislator that finds themselves ANY BUT Republican.
To note that General Petraeus was 'in it' from the beginning is to realize the degree to which his reporting is tainted. He was never at the top of the heap to file reports to Washington before now, and it must be somewhat of a vindication to finally be 'the man' and come to DC with reports of accomplishments never before achieved. Quite a coupe if you will. You almost get the feeling that here is the man with all the answers for Iraq and no one ever listened.
I find THAT reality; very, very odd. General Petraeus, the silent general. Never listened to, never influential before now. Sounds more like Washington Neocon politics than reality, won't you say? Well, let's do a run down on the 'reality' none of the American people are familiar with but is the reality of the Iraq people.
