I'm hearing gasbag rumblings that Obama believes "his judgment is better than The Man Called Petraeus'." (How dare he demean the service of the troops this way.) The Republicans are obviously fighting back.
The far-right is going to have to get used to the fact that General Petraeus, no matter how infallible, would have to take orders from a President Obama. And in terms of judgment, let's go back to the handy-dandy Cuban missile crisis scenario. The Joint Chiefs wanted to bomb the crap out of Cuba, and then invade. If the Chiefs had been indulged in 1962 and their judgment deemed "better," well then -- BOOM!
