No wonder Bush loves Petraeus
It's no wonder Bush loves Petraeus. If you believe this hearsay report, Admiral Fallon describes Petraeus as Bush's favorite kind of guy.
If we've learned anything, it's that the way to Bush's decision making brain is through kissing his ass.
(Maybe it's because they're so frequently close together.....)
Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.

A character flaw we all suspected, but it's interesting to hear this from Fallon. I wonder if after throwing in his self respect in Bush wood chipper, Patraeus will find himself alone and friendless by (or before) November '08.
The fields are littered with the soiled reputations of those who've tied their good names too closely to this administration.

That's why I keep asking whether Petraeus and his credibility will end up shredded, because the second part of this is for the White House to push all blame on him when it fails.
They're going to use him up.

Sadly, I expect all this to pass.
