General Unease: 'Rockstar' 4-star Petraeus brings baggage to CIA

The outgoing commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, is set to become the new CIA chief The U.S. looks to be moving away from his heavy approach to war, as Washington stands firm on a mass troop pull-out from Afghanistan. But the General's ascent to his new role behind the wheel of global covert operations, raises doubts that he can be impartial.

Chief David,

Will you please give Obomba a nice long twisty interview about why on Earth he thinks America's bombs are his toys? I think the neighbors are getting upset with all the death and dismemberment Obomba's war sport is causing them.

Please lock the bomb closet while you're at it and hide the key from him.

Oh ... and don't let him near the world chess set, either. And keep his answers short so he doesn't hypnotize you to sleep.

Thanks, brother.
