Funny, Petraeus was the NYT's darling years ago. I hope they were right and he succeeds before the Dems cut out.

Here's Ignatius on-topic.

What's the big deal? Just stop listening to the mamby-pamby, peachy-fruity advice from JJ, and get tough as nails, in Shermanesque mode. Not rocket science.

Joe Lieberman referred to him as a contemporary Matthew Ridgeway of Iraq. We need a general who wears aviators like MacArthur, grenades on his vest like Ridgeway, and has a pair of ivory-handled revolvers holstered like Patton. Throw in the dispositions of Sherman and a little U.S. Grant, and we've got this terrorist thing licked...

Having gone to Princeton, Petraeus probably knows the difference between frying and grilling, too.

Tecumseh said...

So what's the difference, JJ? You're still transferring heat to meat, dontcha? It's all homotopy equivalent.

Mr roT said...

Let's not get too sexual on this blog, AI. I try to limit the sex discussions to topics that are directly related to politics. Like this. You start generalizing to heat transfer...

BTW, nice grammar, AI.
