Petraeus vs. McChrystal

At Power Line John reminds us of this pathetic performance by The One:

and Paul then asks something I wondered about:

After that exchange in 2007, it's difficult to believe that Petraeus holds Obama in higher regard than McChrystal and his staff do. Petraeus is far more savvy, and will almost certainly keep these views to himself. But it's a measure of the General's patriotism that he would accept this assignment from Obama -- not because of the way Obama treated him in 2007, but because he surely understands the odds against succeeding in a difficult war that requires great patience, under a president like this one.
