Petraeus for President?

[Del Boy]

Will Gen. David Petraeus throw his hat into the ring as Republican candidate at Minneapolis? Three-starred hat. Keep one eye on this.

 

[Team Infidel]

not going to happen

 

[Del Boy]

Obviously just rumour then.

 

[Team Infidel]

i am assuming so. i remember a quote by him stating that he doesn't have any ambitions

I think having to go through the Congressional testimony wringer also built a distaste for politics.

Also, the rumor is he's being considered for CINC of EURCOM, though that's not etched in stone.

 

[Team Infidel]

no, he is being considered for NATO HMFIC

 

[A Can of Man]

They're two different skills anyways.

 

[Team Infidel]

and one doesn't go well with the other

 

[AJChenMPH]

no, he is being considered for NATO HMFIC

I need to check...but I was under the impression that CINCEURCOM acts as NATO HMFIC.

 

[Team Infidel]

nonono.... and it is no longer referred to as "CINC"

 

[A Can of Man]

That's reserved for the President now I believe.

 

[Team Infidel]

you are correct
