Obama says he will back Patraeus promotion
The Messiah wants to cut and run ASAP, BUT, he has high praise for the job General Patraeus has done in Iraq
“Yes,” Obama told “Fox News Sunday” when asked if, as a senator from Illinois, he would approve Petraeus. “I think Petraeus has done a good tactical job in Iraq.”Obama has said he would start pulling out more troops as soon as he became president.
“My hope is that Petraeus would reflect that wider view of our strategic interest,” he said on “Fox News Sunday.”
“I will listen to General Petraeus given the experience that he has accumulated over the last several years,” Obama said. “It would be stupid of me to ignore what he has to say.”
“It would be my job as commander in chief to set the mission, to make the strategic decisions in light of the problems that we’re having in Afghanistan, in light of the problems that we are having in Pakistan, the fact that al Qaeda is strengthening,” Obama said.
Hmmm, he thinks Patraeus has done a god job, but STILL wants to leave Iraq ASAP? An action Patraeus has warned against? Does this sound like sound judgement?
