Americans for Petraeus 2012

Quote:

Open Letter to General Petraeus

Sir,

You have served your country with great honor and dignity as a career officer in the United States Army. We ask you to consider a new career as our next President.

As the Commander of MNF-I, you prevented America's defeat in the Middle East against all odds. As the Commander of CENTCOM, we are confident you will ensure American troops leave the Middle East with victory and honor. The Middle East will be a more stable region as a direct result of your leadership and the actions of our troops, and America's interests will be more secure.

As the current President withdraws American troops from the Middle East, your mission will come to a close. As your mission comes to a close, we implore you to return home and lead a new mission to become the next President of the United States.

Americans troops needed you in the Middle East to them to victory against all odds. Now, the American people need you to return home and lead America to victory domestically, as corrupt politicians in Congress and the White House are leading us into domestic disasters.

When your work in the Middle East is done, please retire your Army uniform and run for President in 2012!

God Bless America and her troops.

Sincerely,
Americans for Petraeus 2012

Has he actually given any indication he might accept? Or is this all just speculative?

Dripping Rain · 03-20-2009, 07:06 PM

why does General Petraeus remind me of Julius Caesar?
some weird thought

He's a great General. But so was Ulysses S. Grant...

Go to atimes.com Some of the writers on there have said for a long time that Petraeus has been positioning himself for a presidential run. I will try to find a source for it; the site's archive system sucks for finding stuff.

I don't think its possible for a general to not be a warmonger once in political office.

Do not want. He is a logical choice for the neo-con right though.

One more CFR-tainted puppet neocon, fight against his candidacy like it was the plague.

He was at the bilderberg group meeting this year, no surprise if he runs
