[A-List] Petraeus To Iran: "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

["Leigh Meyers" <the.buffalo.in.the.midst@xxxxxxxxx>]

McClatchy:

"Army Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. general in Iraq, who briefed
the president on Iraq along with U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker,
also spoke out against Iranian intervention.

"Iran's senior-most leaders promised Iraq's that they would stop
funding, arming, training and directing of militia extremists and
other elements in Iraq that were creating security challenges,"
Petraeus said. "We are waiting, frankly, to see that carried out."


My comment onsite reads:

David Petraeus is quite simply a personable administration military
mouthpiece with a limited logical/rhetorical repertoire.

"Iran's senior-most leaders promised Iraq's that they would stop
funding, arming, training and directing of militia extremists and
other elements in Iraq that were creating security challenges,"
Petraeus said. "We are waiting, frankly, to see that carried out."

You know the old saying: "Have the Iranians stopped beating their wives yet?"

How DO you disprove something you aren't doing?

Do they have to start arming Iraqi militants (patriots) to stop and
say they did, but they aren't anymore?

Anyone with a living brain can see that this is utter B.S.

The US has not produced a single speck of physical evidence to back
their claim, and there is NO DOUBT it would be just as fabricated as
the "Iranian speedboat tape."

Perhaps using those 1/4 million missing AK47s lost by the Pentagon's
favorite air carrier, Victor Bout... Former KGB, now Russian mobster
with connections to AQ & the Taliban...

Mr. Petraeus had the temerity to say it was just "..a bookkeeping error"

His time is up. He lies too much, just like his boss, George W. Bush.
