After the convention, they are going to shred him up.

Oops! Betrayus just blew his shot at being McInsane's VeeP.

This is the most relevant graf from the article referenced:

Petraeus is careful not to credit all the progress to the surge of U.S. troops in 2007. The sea change came last year from a series of movements now known as the Awakening, when Sunnis, organizing around traditional tribal leaders, decided to turn on Al Qaeda as "an organization that embraces an extremist ideology, employs indiscriminate violence, and practices oppressive social customs," in the general's words. One of those customs was a ban on smoking. "That was the turning point when they cut the fingers off the first person who was smoking," he jokes. "Can you imagine an Anbar sheik being told he can't smoke?" So would the Sunni Awakening have succeeded without the surge? Possibly, he concedes, but the surge came at that time and helped empower Sunni leaders, paying their fighters and backing them up on the streets. This is where Seneca the Younger comes in: "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."

Amazing that Petraeus was ever acceptable to Bush and now McCain when he refuses to play footsie with their insane "let America take over the world" point of view. Petraeus has enough sense not to put out a stupid banner "Mission Accomplished" followed by continued deaths and maiming of our military in Iraq. Only GW would stoop to such stupidity. I say, make Petreaus the new Sec. of Defense. He surely cut the rug out from under the McCain/Bush twins point of view.

Prime pieces of attack ammo for Obama include:
-the above Patraeus quote
-Iraq wanting the US out and the US government -signing off on the plan,
-McCain's working against Webb's New GI Bill,
-McCain being for torture.
-McCain admitting to know little about the economy, -McCain's record on Women's issues
