i'd agree, but do you think that the public would fully accept him? or do you think that TPTB just plain will not care anymore.
I get if we are in a desperate state at the time, that a military leader may seem like the perfect choice, but I'm not sure if they could sell us that he would win an election. They barely were able to sell us that Bush did ya know?
It makes since, but it would be a hard sell, if they are even worried about it at that point.

Hmm...

General Petraeus for President as a Bilderberger plant. Just like the rest of them I guess.

Petraeus rhymes with Betray us.

Star and flag for sheer interest. I find the entire idea completely frightening. Makes me mad that that fearmongering BS works on me. Ha!

How fitting.

General patraeus would be readily accepted by the people. he is a war her... he turned iraq right around. he won us that war, iraq is as stable as its ever been. the people know this, we love war heros... weve elected many generals in the past (washington, jackson, harrison, grant, eisenhower) especially if the social fabric of this country starts to tear apart... and if the people dont accept him, TPTB dont care.. he is a bilderberger (having top military officials as known bilderbergers is quite scary) and the bilderbergers seem to have alot of pull in the NWO so.. it will be ineteresting..

I think Petraeus is more of a Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State appointment by the inevitable Republican President. I can't wait until we get grownups back in office. You know Alpha Male leadership, and not Beta Male incompetence.

Can Patreaus even run if he's in Obama's Cabinet or still General in charge of the wars?

They aren't going to run a democract against Obama in 2012. They are only running a Republican.


Edit to add: My bad, I thought he was a Democrat. NVM.

This could actually take place, however he would still have to quit his position...

2016 is more likely. In order for him to run in 2012, he'll need to abandon his position in the Afghan conflict. Which voters would not admirer.

With a coming economic crisis, America will descend into a Latin American style right wing government. Post Obama.
