    Man, if Petraeus were to run for POTUS (and this is assuming he's half as good as a politician as he is as a military leader), I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

    mmm Petraeus strike me as the kind of person that will deal with the real problems in a pragmatic way instead of relying on ideological crappy non-solutions.

    I would like him if he became president.

    I think he needs to be president after he wins all of our wars.

    By 2012 the last thing we will be worrying about is a presidential election.

    Nemesis and its planet Nibiru is coming. It will be here by 2012.



    Here was an unarmed infiltrator caught on camera in a highly secretive installation in Japan! They are feline in appearance and can blend in really well.



    Just don't quote this all the way down the page or it will drag down the bandwidth.

    You realize its the Ides of March, right?

    Irony wins again.
    Link go to November 1983 and look for "Why not a nuclear freeze"

    An article by then Captain David H. Petraeus. Gives you an idea of foreign policy beyond Iraq and Afghanistan. In it he argues a unilateral nuclear freeze would increase the chance of nuclear war.

    I may be wrong, but I'm yet to see any indication of the man's political views. Is it certain that he's a republican?

    But all the sources indicate him running as a republican.
    Besides, barring exceptional events I'd imagine the Democratic ticket for 2012 is occupied - most presidents go for two terms.

    I don't care who it is as long as they lead the country well, keep some of their promises, and do good in the world.

    And so what if he does run as a Republican? Does it really matter whose party he's in if he puts up a superb performance?

    It is way too early to even think about 2012. It will take at least 1 year for any candidates to seriously speculate about running for the presidency. However, the most likely to run are Romney, Jindal, Pawlenty, and Crist. However, those are just the normal, expected, candidates. Depending on the state of the nation, a hawkish swingstater like Eric Cantor could emerge and so too could a northern moderate like Bloomberg.

    HAIL PETRAEUS! It's like I said, he has the support of the legions and the is popular with the mob! America is the mob! Petraeus you are the light!

    If he ran he'd be the first politician I ever actively would support and such.
