MRFF take on Petraeus................. kooljerk666 Nov 2012 #1
My take on him? He's a bullshitter and a liar. MADem Nov 2012 #2
Yup............... kooljerk666 Nov 2012 #4
This is the second biographer. Look at where the first one landed... Tutonic Nov 2012 #7

I agree... Little Star Nov 2012 #12
Irony has long since been dead, cremated and its ashes placed in a subduction zone Fumesucker Nov 2012 #3
One of the two ex-seals who died in Benghazi was a member of MRFF Schema Thing Nov 2012 #11
Any bets that details were being fed straight to malaise Nov 2012 #5
Hell of a job Petraeus! kitt6 Nov 2012 #6
Deep Doo Doo (R) and the Mysterious Emails (R) Berlum Nov 2012 #8
It was worth five edits to finally produce that image...HILARIOUS!! A+++! nt MADem Nov 2012 #14
Yeah - some days ya gotta work it Berlum Nov 2012 #16
If Margaretha Geertruida Zelle had been alive and wanted to be a Petraeus' biographer, AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #9
Margaretha was not without her talents, that's for certain. MADem Nov 2012 #18
And, excuse me for saying so, probably smarter than Petraeus as well. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #23
Of that, I don't think there's any doubt! Petraeus has always been VERY overrated, IMO. nt MADem Nov 2012 #33
So Petraeus was part of that religious fundamentalism in the military? yardwork Nov 2012 #10
Xtian nutz in US Armed Forces is one of the most dangerous things on the planet............. kooljerk666 Nov 2012 #13
Got his Fundie Freak On. They usually do. While preaching to everyone else. Berlum Nov 2012 #17
Can someone answer this? RoccoR5955 Nov 2012 #15
He's a RepubliFundie Berlum Nov 2012 #19
Why are they special RoccoR5955 Nov 2012 #20

Eric Holder. AnotherMcIntosh Nov 2012 #24
Too many Americans falsely equate morality with religion Generic Brad Nov 2012 #44
He didn't give anything to Wikileaks. He just gave it to his girlfriend, who had a clearance. MADem Nov 2012 #21
He denied giving anything to his girlfriend. sabrina 1 Nov 2012 #25
I read that he directed his subordinates to give her access--that, IMO, is the same MADem Nov 2012 #27
So RobertEarl Nov 2012 #29
Not necessarily--see the link I added in the above post. MADem Nov 2012 #30
So RobertEarl Nov 2012 #32
That could be. Then again, his attitude (the General's, that is) could have contributed to MADem Nov 2012 #35
She stopped them RobertEarl Nov 2012 #36
It was not her intent to "stop them" at all--she wanted to be ONE OF THEM. MADem Nov 2012 #39
Where and how RobertEarl Nov 2012 #40
How asinine--so if I write "a high word count" about Jack the Ripper, I'm "favoring" him? MADem Nov 2012 #41
That's better RobertEarl Nov 2012 #42
You don't "know my words" though, unless you've read every post I have ever written about this guy. MADem Nov 2012 #45
So you're annoyed, then RobertEarl Nov 2012 #46
I'm not absolving the general of ANY responsibility. MADem Nov 2012 #47
Pertraeus is a 1,000 times worse RobertEarl Nov 2012 #48
Yes I do--but you'd have to have been a commissioned officer to understand. MADem Nov 2012 #50
her clearance gave her access TorchTheWitch Nov 2012 #37
No, that is NOT what clearance means. Just because you are cleared to "TS"--which she was--does not MADem Nov 2012 #38
that isn't what I was talking about TorchTheWitch Nov 2012 #49
No, you are still not understanding. You continue to confuse clearance and access. MADem Nov 2012 #51
And if they find some, shouldn't he be treated the same as Bradley Manning? n/t RoccoR5955 Nov 2012 #26
Not necessarily--if Petraeus shared information, he shared it with someone who has a clearance MADem Nov 2012 #31
"Rank hath its privileges" n/t Cerridwen Nov 2012 #28
Recommend for "MADem's" extra info re "Security Clearance" and links in the comments. n/t KoKo Nov 2012 #43
