It's being announced that when Gates steps down at DOD, the CIA Director will move there and Petreaus will become Director of the CIA.

Competent people, it makes it look like some defense cuts are coming. Panetta knows how to work with Congress.
 
Panetta's going in there to be the hammer.

Petreaus after 4 years at the CIA is going to be SOOOOOO ready to be President.

What happens to Petreaus' role in Afghanistan?
 
Petraeus will be president in 2016.
 
Hillary will be POTUS in January 2017.

Ha. You're dreaming. They'll have trouble keeping all that makeup from melting off her face during the campaign. She's way too old.

She'll be 68/69. Younger than either McCain or Reagan when they ran.

I can't wait to argue with you about how there's like a 95% chance she dies in office.

Also after reading this thread, I decided to review the whole Betray Us story and came across this on wikipedia:

MoveOn hosted pages on its website about the ad and their reasons behind it from 2007 to June 23, 2010. On June 23, 2010, MoveOn erased these webpages and any reference to them from its website. The change took place in the aftermath of President Obama's nomination of Petraeus to be the new top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan upon General Stanley McCrystal's retirement. Political blog Weasel Zippers was the first media agent to notice the change. Commentator Jon Bershad of Mediaite stated, "Since MoveOn is an advocacy group with no claims to unbiased content, there’s nothing unethical about scrubbing the site."[2] Commentator Logan Penza of The Moderate Voice criticized the change as a "cover-up" and argued that "[h]ow can a group supposedly dedicated to holding government accountable so obviously seek to avoid any accountability for its own excesses?"[66]

So they took it down the day Pres. Obama appointed him to a higher position? What a bunch of hacks.
 
Reagan was 69 the first time he ran (1980) and 73 when he ran for his second term.
McCain was 72 the last time he ran (2008).

People said they were too old too. Hillary would be a few months younger than Reagan when he first ran.

Women live longer then men. It's in their DNA to kill us off.
 
She's qualified, and may run. But it takes a lot of eneregy to run then, and I'm not sure she hasn't lost some of the zeal having achieved on hr own as as Senator and as Sec. of State (especially lately).
 
Strange move by Petreaus...

Hillary won't technically be too old, but she'll be an old WOMAN. Big difference between people voting for an old man and an old woman. Men age more gracefully and people have fewer reservations, both outwardly and subconsciously, about voting for an old man.

Truth. Old women smell nasty, live in shoes and hoard cats
 
If Daddy Bush was elected on his resume, she sure has a good one as well.

She'll do everything she can to get Obama re-elected and cash those chips in for 2016.

Wonder if this means the CIA will be ramping up paramilitary activity/black ops.
 
It might be the plan so we can get lots of troops out of Aghanistan.
