He's not competitive. He leads by example.

General David Patreus is such a great man, right up there with Dwight Eisenhower and the Field-marshal Viscount Montgomery. I heard quite a bit of news about his work on ABC Radio here in Australia. Not only a brilliant General, he did an awful lot of diplomacy for a military guy, and thus softened the insurgency more than mere military might can do alone. He's the right man for the job.

@dogwood912 Did you know the virgin bit might be a mistranslation, and could mean something like 72 raisins or fruit?

My buddy is going to be an Army Ranger General in a couple years. The pure fact that this man made it to General, is amazing. it's always great to know that we've got people like him on our side.

Excellent post.

We will be safer having Petraeus lead the CIA, there could be no better choice. His knowledge of military tactics, coupled with the resources of the CIA, will no doubt send many Islamists to meet their virgins.

Petraeus for President and yes as a Republican

@lazyperfectionist1 No offense, but it looks as if I have to start writing my replies using 7th grade English so you can assimilate them . You can't withdraw forces that are fully deployed and engaged in military activity overnight, and particularly not when in a situation like the one in Iraq. It isn't physically possible, and Obama doesn't have magic powers and a magic wand. Even if he did, you can't just get out and leave a void behind you after altering the order of things like we did.
I'm certain he would've made an excellent Defence Secretary, but CIA will do.

@bjr43 That's right. I think he would excel in pretty much any position within the National Security area. I also happen to think that he would be a pretty decent President if he ever decided to run, because he is someone like Colin Powell, not given to side with extremists and people who are willfully ignorant of our reality.
