Petraeus to be Secretary of State?

According to some news reports he is being actively considered. Of course he will have to share things with his parole officer.

So let's see here. HRC was vilified (and probably deserved some of it) for bypassing the govt's e mail system for a private one which, as far as we know, was never compromised. Petraeus shared privileged info with a woman in order to get into her knickers, as far as we know successfully.

Can one of his surrogates here spin that one for the Donald? I am all ears. Of course DJT may be thinking - I wish I'd thought of that.

He is a good man and probably the smartest general in the country. One of the weakest was Colin Powell ,” If you break it you own it“. He may be ok to head State, but he would be a better fit for secretary of defense; We could use some creative thinking.

I don't think that the 'Pottery Barn' rule, which btw had nothing to do with PB, was ever anything more than a restatement of the Marshall Plan. You displace a government, however poorly functioning, and it's yours to administer until you can get the hell out.

I was commenting on the sheer hypocrisy of this man. Not that it's a surprise. SOP.

The Donald has no hypocrisy. He has a very high personal ethic which he applies consistently.

Simply re-stated, his rule is "everything is negotiable." EVERYTHING. Truth, reality, greater good, are all empty of any inherent meaning. There is no value in anything beyond "I must win."
