Petraeus
As the man credited with turning round the conflict in Iraq when it was at its most desperate, the decision to send Petraeus to take command of 120,000 US and allied troops in Afghanistan could be seen as an inspired choice.
That is, if the media are not still making up lies about this vital issue. This time I looked up the Guardian, dodgy at best, which even this week's "Private Eye" seems make it clear is hardly to be trusted any more, partly because of greedy admin type staff. But at least they are probably telling facts here.
IMO: Petraeus may be OK at least for the moment. He seems to be a nice fellow but has some health problems. And I hope he is not annoyed too much by that useless turd McCain.
