In reply to one of the other posters. Don't you realize that it was the Conservatives who screwed this country up over the 12 years of Reagan and George I and the 8 years of GeorgeII. American conservatiism is morally bankrupt and can do nothing for this nation but continue to wreck it. We do not need conservatives running this country. They have already proven that they are utter failures.

Remove all GOP and Dem's out of DC! VOTE FOR US!! NO CHANGE LEFT!

The last thing we need in the next decade is a WAR President.... especially one with the GOP pulling his strings.... We'd be at WAR with Iran, Pakistan, N Korea, Venezuela, and whomever else the Rightwing feels threatened by. Probably simultaneously...

Very Plain and Simple.

U.S.A is the World's Biggest Military Power. Super Power # 1.

Afghanistan is just a Timid Country. Does not even have an Air Force, Tanks, etc.

If we could not win this war in 9 years. We can never win it even in 100 years.

Why should we put our troops in harms way unnecessarily. We need to bring them home.

Terrorist don't attack us from outside, they come inside our country an attack us. All 9/11 terrorists were living here and trained here.

The best remedy is to have a better homeland security and defend ourselves, than going after these terrorist in other countries. Our economy does not allow us to spend on war, when we don't have jobs, industry, homes.

Let the man do his job!

The republicans will push anyone that is willing to be their puppet. This clown is one. A Karzai

The GOP's theme song:......Desperado.

Who could blame him... the current administration will have this country in such a mess that it would be too much work to repair.

I would like to see him run. It would be great to have someone with a strong understanding of management and logistics heading up our nation.

Bravo General!! I always suspected you were too smart for politics.

The last thing this country needs is a military man in the White House, particularly a ranking military man.

There are larger issues at stake for the Presidency than blowing things (and people) to smithereens. I can't think what else the military is good at.

If Patraeus is a conservative then the man should run. He would decimate Obama and being a conservative bring the govt back into its primary role. Limited Govt.

In life as well as war most time a no decision is as good as a decision.

Gen. How about a military coup before 2010 and rid us of the far left once and for all?

It has to be difficult for the general to give up a job that you can have for a life time, than to be put in a position where you can be jobless as a result of an election.

Good for him. He should stick to what he does, and do it well.

At least we won't have to discredit him in 2012.

No one would vote for him anyway.

Good! Imagine how many wars we'd be in if the president was a man of war.

Of course, he will run in 2012.

Politicians lie all the time (gasp). Was Petraeus lying? Were his lips moving ??

General BetrayUs? Yeah, like I'd vote for him...we already had a "war president", and look where it got us...

GOP: Evolve or die
