What is it about these wingnuts and Petraueus? If I were him, I’d be insulted by the notion that he should do anything but serve his country. Like when McCain was responding to Obama’s point about negotiating with Iran by demanding to know why he wouldn’t “sit down with Petraeus one on one” – like a military officer is someone the Commander in Chief should negotiate with.

It’s like they’re trying to turn him into the next Smedley Butler or something.

Yes, the military is so good with money…

‘Just last week President Bush announced, “my 2003 budget calls for more than $48 billion in new defense spending.”

More money for the Pentagon, CBS News Correspondent Vince Gonzales reports, while its own auditors admit the military cannot account for 25 percent of what it spends.

“According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions,” Rumsfeld admitted.’

Hasn’t the military always, always, always been the least accountable part of our government? I believe the figure was $8.8 billion (of the Iraqis money flown from US banks) on pallets in Baghdad that went missing without a single cent accounted for. And they had lots of stars and birds and shiny things on their shoulders, Glenn.

well, general dave did manage to lose those planeloads of cash and wepons in iraq, so he could probably make the 700 billion disappear pretty quickly too – if that’s what we’re shooting for here with the bailout thingy.

“Beck: Give Gen. Petraeus oversight of the $700 billion bailout.”

Beck took the wrong pill yesterday. Petraeus the oversighter for the 700 billion? lol Beck is an idiot and asswipe. You might as well give Supreme Leader Dick Cheney oversight of the money. Man, the idiot commentators are crawling out of the woodwork.

Dumnb Questions:

Since when has Petraus claimed special credentials in managing an economy besides being a General?

If he has, what has he done with that experience in Iraq ?

How are those no-bid contracts working out ?

Beck is back to taking drugs. Petraeus follows the White House’s orders and would give the 700 billion to Republicans and Iraq pay offs. Right now the US Military is giving the Leaders of Iraq money to stop killings. Yes the problems continue but we’re paying for them to hold off so McCain will look good. Ask any soldier in Iraq who isn’t getting a bonus to lie from the WH and you’ll know the truth. Petraeus is reporting what his bosses tell him but the emails from the soldiers to family back home tell a different story. All the Military families knew about Walter Reed but it took years and an honest reporter who read her email to get the truth out. When a new President takes office the American people will finally know that Petraeus was a tool and did as he was told by the Commander-in-Chief. But most Americans would rather believe the lie because the truth would blow them away.

Glenn Beck is quite possibly the ‘dumbest talking head’ on cable or talk radio, and he has some very stiff competition in this category.

It’s appalling that anyone would entertain such a foolish idea: imagine taking the individual responsible for overseeing the ‘distribution’ of weapons and ammunition ‘off the books’ in Iraq—a step necessitated, he claims, by the exigent circumstances over-tasked troops faced in the combat zone—and putting him in charge of the largest single wealth redistribution scheme ever hatched.

Oh, yeah – we call all see how that movie will end, now can’t we?

The Dogfather Says:
“Beck obviously longs for a military junta form of government. Perhaps we should all chip in to buy him a one-way ticket to Myanmar…”

Or send Jeff Gannon over to his house wearing a general’s uniform.

A hero has to sell the swill foisted on the American people. It doesn’t matter what he knows, as long as people trust him.

That’s similar to the crap Wall Street packaged and sold. It doesn’t matter what it was, as long as people trust it.

The week of September 15th, the big money boys quit trusting each other. Within days, they crafted a plan to make us pay for their past credit sins.

Oh, I see. Now the fascists are joking about the potential squandering of $700 billion. Feigned concerns about
socialism have now subsided, thanks to the Senate-passed fascistic version of the bailout leaned to their liking.

I’d support the call for a revolution if this galactic tax cut passes. Every 1%-er who happily redistributed wealth from middle class should be targeted.

As an American, I am extremely angry.

Talking about the IQ of Beck-talk about his viewers. That’s why they don’t have his show compete in the same time slot as Friday Night Smackdown.
