Hmmm...so what's next, Petraeus pulling an Eisenhower in 2012, only without retiring?

See that dude, "Obama needed the withdrawl deadline for domestic political reasons. The reason Obama fought for the time limit was because of pressure by the liberals, and that is what the heck I Have been saying. As Roosevet said about the New Deal: "Make me do it". Warren and the liberals made Obama pass Wall street regulations by keeping the pressure on. We neeed to get out of Afghanistan. In Obama's War, published on Monday but leaked early to the New York Times, Woodward claims that the infighting was ferocious, and punctuated by remarkably snide and bitter remarks. On one occasion General David Petraeus, the US commander in Afghanistan, is quoted as saying, in reference to Obama's administration: "You fucked with the wrong guy." Another damaging section of the book reveals that Obama needed the withdrawal deadline for domestic political reasons, to keep the Democratic party happy. The revelations leave the president vulnerable to fresh attacks by Republicans just as Obama and the Democrats are struggling in the polls ahead of congressional mid-term elections in November.
