More Men Like Petraeus

What are the democrats and Lefties so upset about? Lets take a look (read the two posts before this one to get a better view).

Ever notice how those who have no name to the rest of the world have to attack those whose name stands out in the minds and hearts of others? Usually, great accomplishment in a person’s life brings that person recognition and, in some cases, fame. If you don’t have the time or talent to actually DO SOMETHING with your life to get that same spot light… what better way to get it shining directly in your face than to attack someone already there? You won’t get it if you praise them or send fan mail… nope… you have to bring them down and bury them alive.

Army Gen. David H. Petraeus said he would send home a force of about 2,200 Marines this month, and he recommended that an Army brigade of about 3,500 return home in December. But Petraeus advised keeping the remainder of the buildup forces — four brigades and two Marine battalions — in Iraq through July.
