Hillary Praises Gen. David Petraeus Leaves Country In A “willing suspension of disbelief”
Guest post written by Robert
Refresh your memory with this video :
And yesterday, we see this:
As critical as she is about the Bush administration’s conduct of the Iraq war, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton gave a relatively rare shout-out to the military’s top man in Baghdad, General David Petraeus, calling him “an extraordinary leader and a wonderful advocate for our military.”
Here’s a real study in contradiction. Hillary Clinton, who just a matter of months ago attacked General David Petraeus testimony to Congress as requiring the “willing suspension of disbelief” now praises him. Why the turnaround? How could General Petraeus go from Liar to Leader in Hillary’s view in such a short time?
As everything Clintonian is calculated, the answer intuitively will be found in the political analysis. At the time she effectively called General Petraeus a liar, it was politically advantageous to align with extreme Leftist elements such as moveon.org and other Soros-funded moonbat organizations. Hillary was quite willing to suspend objectivity and evaluate what the General was reporting.
But why the sudden 180? I have my theory; let’s hear yours.

Robert, my feeling is that Hillary knows that the middle is hers to win. Based on the polls, of both the elction and the war, she knows that to adopt the far left stance is not going to get her anywhere..she needs the middle…

Mister, why are YOU here?
But there is a much deeper course of service that transcends even duty, and it is a course that citizens need to at least be aware of, even if they never feel able to embrace it…
