General David Petraeus opening statement

[Tenki09]

War is a fast track to huge amounts of money for bankers and it provides 2nd lieutenants with an opportunity to become generals. Turn just these two things around and there would be peace. Take the profit out of war and put it into peace and the bankers would have a person trying to start a war hung. If during war, all rank was frozen, war wouldn't even be on a career officer's list.

[jguy30]

we need general patton, we don't need general bullshit!!!!!



[SilenceSlayer224]

He is probably the greatest military leader this country has ever had. Petition congress to award him his 5th star.

[Malarkey31]

@streetsk8r96

Petraus can suck my dick. He's nothing more than a PR agent. Put back in McCrystal.  We need a General Patton, not a general bullshit.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@Malarkey31 You kidding me? Obviously you have never served your country or you would know what he has been through. You don't get 9 oversea bars, Airborne, Ranger, and Air Assault tabs by sitting on your ass. He has worked hard leading our troops in Afghanistan and deserves not only recognition from the US citizens, but he deserves his 5th star. Why don't you stop and think before you speak.

[Malarkey31]

Mr. Petraus leave the military so our military can be strong again. Go faint somewhere else!

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 You're dumb.

[Malarkey31]

@25Milimeter

Your dumb if you think if we need Petraus. He's a PR agent, not a general. We need to bring back McCrystal. Either that, or put me in his place.

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 Its "You're" dumb. Like "you are dumb". I'd rather trust Petraeus,cause he knows proper grammar LOL

[Malarkey31]

@25Milimeter

Ooh c'mon dont act like a hurt school girl. Your man is a pussy.

It would be nice if petraus knew common sense and grew pair, so the shackles can be taken off our troops. Petraus is an ass-clown who's in love with beauracratic red tape that kills our soldiers. I don't trust him with my life, let alone to babysit my niece and nephew.

If we we're standing face to face, and if it were legal I'd knee him in the groin and spit in his face. The man's an empty suit.

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 Hurt hehe? Well,you have your opinion,I have mine.

[Malarkey31]

@25Milimeter

petraus is a hollow nobody. He needs to get kicked out. Every time a soldier dies, I point the finger at him.

Hopefully we win??? Hopefully we leave afghanistan as soon as possible. How do we win when no one even knows what our objective is over there. Let alone how do we win given the rules of engagment that no one on Earth can follow.

A-stan is a lost cause. There isn't any reason for us to be there. I still have yet to hear why we should be there.

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 I personally believe "your country" shouldn't be there. They've never been attacked by Afghans or anything. And don't attack spelling,unless you want to look desperate.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@25Milimeter With all due respect, I get what you are saying, but we aren't fighting Afghans we are fighting terrorists. We are trying to stablize the middle east so we can go in and attack Iran without causing WW3.

[25Milimeter]

@SilenceSlayer224 USA puts the Taliban in control of Afghanistan,and sells Saddam Hussein CHEMICAL WEAPONS/WMD's,and then the UN takes them away,and USA invades Iraq in the name of "freedom & democracy",kills 100,000 -Iraqi civilians in the invasion,and 1.3 million of them in all of the operations in Iraq,seizes control of their Army,and authorities & installs new leaders,but still; finds no WMD;s?;who seems like a terrorist here?

[25Milimeter]

@SilenceSlayer224 Apparently nuking countries is for "freedom & democracy"! Invading & killing all of those Iraqis & Afghan civilians,to free them of their lives & houses,and rebels are terrorists cause they must give their country to us! Right? Also USA nuked Japan to save them!-[What about all the suicides]? You Americans,are full of flawed logic,and lack info & proof,BEFORE invading fucking countries. P.S,jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to take out the WTC,you fail.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@25Milimeter I have to agree with you on one thing. Jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel, however it's not melting steel that collapsed the buildings. If you watch the video it shows the plane slicing through the building. It would only take one floor collapsing to trigger a chain reaction and cause structural failure. Notice the building didn't tip over like it would have if the steel melted. It fell directly down as if it collapsed under it's owne weight. other than that you're dumb

[SilenceSlayer224]

@Malarkey31 Hollow nobody? Then what does that make you? How many people do you know that are General's? How about people with all three of the elite Army schools? None, so shut your mouth.

[Malarkey31]

@SilenceSlayer224

Just put me in his position and you'll see how well I top him and I've never been in the miltary ;) The guy is an empty suit.

I have more respect for my local barber than I do him. As a matter a fact -- we should give petraus a job as an army barber,so at least he'll actually be doing something other than getting our troops killed with out of wack ROE regualtions that no one on the planet can follow.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@Malarkey31 You didn't have to tell me you weren't in the military, I hinted on it by your lack of respect for people in uniform. I respect your right to speak your mind, in fact that's what our soldiers have been fighting for and dieing for since we announced our independance. You can't however slander him by saying he's an empty suit. He is a military genious. He writes the battle strategy and without him we would have invaded Iraq and we would have left there with our heads low.

[SilenceSlayer224]

@Malarkey31 And how can you say our soldiers are "shackled" as I look at my left and right hands I see no shackles. I share the same freedoms that a normal citizen has, only I'm held to a higher standard than yourself. If I behaved like you, spouting garbage uncontrollably with a bad case of diarhea of the mouth and utter disrespect for my commander I would be punished and likely demoted. It's a shame we aren't in Israel where military service is mandatory. It might teach you some respect.

[Malarkey31]

@25Milimeter

Just because someone wears our country's uniform doesn't mean they're instantly a hero. Petraus is vermin in our military.

Also, MAKE ME shut my mouth tough guy!

If you don't like my opinions don't pull up this page. Quit pouting like a school girl who doesn't get her way. If your in our military, God help us all :(

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 I have no clue what Petreaus is,I admit it. I just hate arguments,doesn't solve anything. Also,I'd like to add there are people 1,000 times worse than me in the U.S military,who support Petreaus,and would die for him,and think that they should kill out Afghanistan for peace,and I haven't got a clue why they were still there,or even put the Taliban in power to begin with. I ain't actin tough,I just been too many times to this page.

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 Well,he didn't get mass civilians killed,thats the good part. But hes not to great in tactics,"fire if your fired apon" - Shit like that gets troops killed,as well as civilians. Hopefully we win this war..

[Malarkey31]

@25Milimeter

But in reagards to your last comment. If you insist on making grammar so important. The term " mass civilians" makes no sense.

hehe schmuck

[25Milimeter]

@Malarkey31 I'm gonna talk all professional online now?

[mkl62]

Gen. Petraeus will be appearing tomorrow on Good Morning, America on ABC (December 6).

[SumerianTurk]

David Petraeus is a diaperhead Zionist Jew

[3rdsnowleopard]

@SumerianTurk Although it's your freedom to say such baseless stupid shit, it is also my freedom to hope you lose your genitals in a horrible car accident.

[MrBarri13]

@SumerianTurk explain yourself please

[USMCjunior117]

@SumerianTurk Thats retarded,and Zionists aren't jews fucktard! Go blow up somewhere else.

[SumerianTurk]

die you fucking filthy jew

[Sevenoneight7]

@SumerianTurk This is the 21st century, we don't need that racism here, please remove yourself.

[bangkapi10240]

@SumerianTurk - take this diatribe you post somewhere else please absolutely pathetic comment

[centurion180ad]

Dear General Petraeus, why is the United States Army utilizing Depleted Uranium ammunition against unarmored nonvehicular targets?

[Wardog687]

I hope this man is our next president someday. Godbless Ya General

[cignasty47]

what a true hero he is

[Pella5000]

Petraeus 2012

[HoBoMoBob]

Petraeus kicks ass

[centurion180ad]

@HoBoMoBob Its too little too late, hes going along to get along. A SURGE is at the beginning of a mechanized campaign, not in the middle or at the end. Sadly the US Army's professionals, are not the ones directing this phony war against Al CIA Da.  Any Admiral or General that attempts to fight according to the Rules & Customs Pertaining to Land Warfare, is summarily dismissed.

[advancedwarrior]

Why don't you go play in traffic?

[ScarlitRebel]

Because even though he is annoying and a waste of life... our soldiers fight for his right to be as such and has the freedom of speech even if abused...

[pikeymutt]

True story. +1

[bunnyluv41]

hey, may I use that phrase too? I usually tell people like the one you're responding to "go back and sit in your sand box - head first!"

[cignasty47]

0. now you can stop wondering you slanderous prick

[Hancerlioglu]

Is this the table of General David Petraus, then here is my clearing.. Where are the closing of guantanamo, Iask again so you can listen again, the closing of Guantanamo so we can free our innocent people in your so called prisons!
