16. You know he says shit like that then hires someone who leaked top secret info to his mistress

Gen. David Petraeus was the architect of the "mission accomplished" surge that Obama emulated in Afghanistan with disastrous results. And it turns out the surge was just as much of a disaster in Iraq. He was also responsible for training Iraqi forces who gladly took our billions of dollars and turned tail at the first sign of danger. He also completely failed to predict ISIS.

You'll remember he was also the general Paula Broadwell was fucking to gain special access, an obvious conflict of interest for which he was barely given a slap on the wrist.

Talk is cheap. Jesus - we can't find anyone better to do this?

Top officials in the Obama administration have consulted former CIA Director David Petraeus about the fight against the Islamic State group — despite his admission that he gave classified material to his biographer and mistress, the White House said Monday.

Petraeus was brought in by President George W. Bush to command multinational forces in Iraq in 2007, and presided over the "surge" of American forces there. Defending the Obama administration's decision to get advice from him periodically, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Petraeus maintains strong relationships with Iraqi military and political leaders.

"He is, I think, legitimately regarded as an expert, when it comes to the security situation in Iraq," Earnest said. "So I think it makes a lot of sense for senior administration officials to, on occasion, consult him for advice."

Gen. David H. Petraeus, who commanded U.S. troops in Iraq during the 2007-2008 surge, was back in that country last week for the first time in more than three years. He was attending the annual Sulaimani Forum, a get-together of Iraqi leaders, thinkers and academics, at the American University of Iraq - Sulaimani in northern Iraq’s Kurdistan region.
