Just asking...

Then again, kicking the can down the road for Bush in 2008 is a flawless victory!

So, just because Petraeus, after failng upward, wrote a piece of Bush teabaggery right before an election that turned on the war, gave Hugh Hewitt an exclusive interview (even Andy Sullivan noticed), and then went on FOX for a session of fluffery with Brit Hume right, that doesn't make him political.

Heaven forfend.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
