OK, it’s not really a Bushism, but: it’s (cheney)in’ stupid, on several levels. And by saying it, on national TV, T-Paw is showing that he’s either in over his head because he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, or he’s showing he’d be a willing and pliable tool for those who would make Bushy McSame king president. Of course, “both” is a distinct probablity, also.

Think about it: under the US Constitution, civilian leadership determines natonal interests and sets foreign policy, not the military, and certainly not a theater commander, such as General Petraeus. And for those that actually believing in following the law, which, of course, excludes bootlickin’ republiCons, Title 10 of the U.S. Code clearly states that it’s the Joint Chiefs of Staff that advises The President in formation of policy, NOT theater commanders.

Clearly, General Petraeus is not authorized, nor is any General, to determine America’s national interests nor create foreign policy. Furthermore, did General Petraeus actually say what Gov. Pawlenty claimed General Petaeus said?

Of course not. Which is why January 21st, 2009 would be The Beginning Of A New Error if Bushy McSame assumes the office of the Presidency – especially if Gov. Pawlenty is part of the ticket.
