New General in Iraq

I agree we need to have a resolve to win in Iraq, not change the hearts and minds of the Iraqis, and our troops who have put their lives in harms way. Petrus may be a past hero, but he also has shown he is more diplomatic and politically correct in the last few years. GWW

Once again

a great post. I was unfamiliar with this guy. But you solved that problem.

I don't like the sound of this:

"...peacekeeping general.."

This will be

an interesting thing to watch...great job as usual!

creativity

is sort of what we need, but we really need to set a tighter perimeter and take out a few more leaders of the opposition.

This is

One of the few high points of the new year thus far.

LtGen Petreaus

Sounds an excellent soldier and a great leader.

Losing-not an option

"The burden of winning this war should really be in the hearts and minds of every American – including every citizen and every elected American official."

Amen Bro. We don't have an option other than winning. Unless you want to consider leaving this mess for our children to clean up 10 or 12 years from now. Thanks for the great info trv. DD
