DRAFT THE GENERAL

Petraeus for President?

Let's get the Man who is the REAL AUTHOR of the SURGE to be Commander and Chief in the GWOT!

Can we give this HERO the Nomination?
General David Howell Petraeus

"USA (born November 7, 1952 in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York) is the current Commanding General, Multi-National Force - Iraq (MNF-I). This special four-star post oversees all U.S. forces in the country. He was confirmed to that position by the Senate in a vote of 81–0 on January 26, 2007...

Petraeus was the General George C. Marshall Award winner as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College—class of 1983. He subsequently earned a Master of Public Administration (1985) and a Ph.D. (1987) in International Relations from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He later served as Assistant Professor of International Relations at the U.S. Military Academy, and also completed a fellowship at Georgetown University. He has a BS from the U.S. Military Academy—class of 1974.

Time named Petraeus 33rd out of the 100 most influential leaders and revolutionaries of 2007. He was also named the second most influential American Conservative by The Daily Telegraph and "America's most respected soldier" by Der Spiegel in 2008."

Liberals are already concerned with the idea...
"General David Petraeus has a sterling reputation, the love of the press, and the adoration of the GOP. Don't be surprised if a Democratic presidential win in '08 starts an effort to recruit Petraeus as the Republican candidate in '12."

Why keep the LEFT waiting another four years?

Did you see this one?
"Like Ike: Petraeus for President?"

Don't miss the always amusing TP:
'The right wing is rooting for Petraeus to take the plunge. On Sept. 6, The New York Sun wrote an editorial titled “Petraeus for President?” The Corner’s Kathryn Jean Lopez approvingly linked to the editorial this morning, titling her post “Dream Sequence.” Last spring, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol told the Harvard Republican Club that he and other “conservative insider[s]” believe “a ticket of Fred Thompson and David Petraeus might be able to avert electoral disaster for the GOP” in 2008.'
