On January 20, President Clinton or Obama should fire Petraeus

[bluestateguy]

And replace him with a general who will be loyal to the new president's plans for a phased withdrawal from Iraq.

[niyad]

1. yes

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. among other reasons, yes, this should be done n/t

[mac2]

3. Do they plan on really withdrawing or is that a carrot on a

string. There will be "peace enforcers" instead.

[Hamlette]

4. No need to fire him. Tell him what to say and he will.

He's a tool of power. No reason to believe he will change.

Then you can say "see, even you god says we should leave."

[movonne]

5. I don't even know why we have these hearings at all...we all knew

what betrayus was going to say....he is bought and paid for by the bush administration...so as I say again 'WHY BOTHER'...let's get back to dissing Obama and Hillary...that is more fun...

[mac2]

7. There's an election and they want us to think they have a

handle on the situation when they don't. Bush is king.

[SoFlaJet]

6. Agreed

all the Bush shills MUST go. Joe Biden for sec. of state

[gratuitous]

8. Bundle him on a plane and send him to The Hague

Let him answer to a tribunal composed of the survivors of his troops' atrocities.

[NNN0LHI]

10. He calls them troopers

What a guy.

Don

9. Or just, you know, give him a new set of orders

Not sure what firing him would accomplish.

[bluestateguy]

11. I seriously have my doubts that he would follow orders to pull out

Or that even if he did, he would publicly bitch and complain about it to a sympathetic news media.

12. How about just giving him a boss who is not an asshat?
