Re: GEN Petreaus letter:

It took several readings to catch your meaning, uncle.

Before reading it, I expected that Petreaus had responded to the remarks by Harry Reid.

Then while reading the letter, it had a reasonable list of accomplishments and failures.

Now I see your point is that the government of Iraq derives its legitimacy from the consent/respect of the populous and any negative reviews must be done in private.
