1. Anyone catch a glimpse of Jeff Gannon under the table?
Just who does he visit at the white house anyway?

2. General Petraeus has four stars which makes him
a full General. A Lt General has three stars. Now he could be moved to a higher command or Chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

3. He already has 4 stars, is an O-10 (General), not O-9 (LT General)
no more stars are likely.

4. You are correct. Why did I think he was a Lt. Gen.?
But star, schmarr .. I'll bet there is a tasty quid-pro-quo in this for Petraeus.


"DemoTex, you ass, I have FOUR stars and I'll testify to that under oath!"

7. BINGO!
Look for him to retire soon. He will write a book and take a fat job as a consultant with a defense contractor.

11. Nope the GOP will slide him into the VP slot if they can!
As long as he kisses the right thing, for the reich wing.

6. I am most positive he received his "promotion"
in an off shore account way ahead of his testimony before congress.
