From Thinkprogress:
The GOP presidential field seemed complete last night when former senator Fred Thompson finally announced he was jumping into the race. But apparently the right-wing isn’t satisfied with its choices and is hoping that the race may have room for one more candidate — Gen. David Petraeus.
Today, the New York Sun has an editorial entitled “Petraeus for President?” In the piece, the editorial writers pen the speech they would like Petraeus to give on the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks:
I am prepared, even eager, to command our forces in this battle — but only on one condition: That you signal that you share my goal of victory. If you think I am mistaken and wish to continue your efforts to undermine me, then I cannot command. Absent that signal, I will resign, effective immediately, and take my case to the voters in a run for the presidency on a campaign to finish the work of winning the war and redeeming the sacrifice of so many Iraqis, allies, and our own GIs.

The Republicans are really drinking that Kool-aid. Petraeus lost 190,000 weapons, vest and bullets that the enemy has now. He told Katie to report what he said not what she sees. He lies to your face and let's his soldiers die by larger numbers while he says every thing is going great.
Fred is a dead man walking and a joke. Rudy wants the south to raise again with his VP pick and now Fred who will sleep during his time in the Oval Office like he did in the Senate. Petraeus is so far up Bush/Cheney's butt he can't be found. I guess the Republicans will still be looking for a candidate as right now they don't have one.
