David Petraeus for President
Tweet Share on Facebook September 23, 2010 Comment (2)I was recently in a meeting of former elected and appointed officials, thought leaders, and former policymakers. Also present was a retired chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Sadly, I do not spend enough time with members of our armed forces--especially those who rise to the highest ranks. When I am fortunate enough to converse with such figures, I am never surprised by their dedication to their country or by their extraordinary intelligence. What I always find staggering is their judicious and, for lack of better terminology, calming nature. Why is it that men and women entrusted with overseeing the fighting of wars possess such tranquil and moderating personalities?

Most pundits assume that move is a given.

By all accounts, it appears Tea Partyers and anti-establishment GOP candidates have recently adopted that same philosophy in colluding with Sarah Palin.
