Petraeus for SoS?

[FNFAN]

For the 3 people (thus far) who've answered "Sure!" to the poll, can you reply to the thread with your thought process?

Misfire. To get the radio button to fill on my phone you have to stretch the screen and as I did it posted.

He's a smart man and served his country for 37 years. Unfortunately he screwed up badly. He should enjoy his retirement.

I laughed so hard when I read this that I'm just glad I didn't need to be wearing Depends® .

Blues- I am 42, I waited till later in life to have a kid. Don't regret it at all. I sleep well knowing he can change mine one day

We tried for five years, then we were planning to go to Ireland, .... And then she got pregnant.

On a side note I just heard Pete Hegseth is a contender for the VA job. He is young and fired up, he might make a good one. Being a vet he knows the VA issues.

After hammering away at Hillary for so long about mishandling classified stuff, it would be hypocritical to pick Petreaus.

Not that he needs any help with that. Between those two things and filing the cabinet with Goldman Sachs people, I'm wondering when people are going to realize they've been conned.

Hush now. Trump is the second coming of Jesus or so I've been told...As opposed to what he really is - a fucking carpetbagger.

Petraeus should be sitting in jail right now. It's convenient for him, that he is not. Sec of State? Fuck no.

- He's plead guilty to mishandling classified materials

Didn't read the whole thread, but it's been said that Betrayus got in less trouble for that than some Dogface or Jarhead who loses their rifle.

I think he'd make a brilliant SoS, but no, not after what he did. If it was just getting caught with his pants around his ankles, that'd be one thing, but knowingly passing classified documents to said piece of ass is another matter entirely. If he is appointed, then Trump has precisely no ground to stand on regarding Hillary Clinton and it would make him look like an even bigger hypocritical ass.

This.

As I understand it, a Cabinet appointment would require a pardon...

Based on what? Is there some law regarding that? I'm not aware of one, but haven't researched the topic.

I would suggest that the folks saying that are largely mistaken. Over 20+ years of service, I've seen a fair number of incidents involving lost weapons or sensitive items, none of which resulted in anything even remotely close to a $100K fine.

Haha. I turn 51 in two weeks, and the wife and I have a little boy that turns two in February. His grandma fed him something for lunch the other day, and he shit through a screen door for almost 24 hours. But man, little ones are so great. We have three others. Oldest is 12. Wife's younger, and we married when I was 38. Fun times, never too late to start!

BOT: like you said, he destroyed careers while at Campbell, and then tried to pull a fast one with that Reservist/reporter. One of my Soldiers was his RTO back in the day, and while he loves him, I have no illusions about how the General needs to stay away from government service.

I'm concerned to see the draft-dodging hypocrite surrounding himself with retired generals. Anyone else see a danger here? When all you have is a hammer, your problems look like nails.
