Gen. Petraeus is between a rock and a hard place. He’s been given a job in which the only outcome can be failure. He is aware of that. The soldier in him would never allow him to say so publicly.
POTUS knows it too. He is quite prepared to sacrifice Petraeus when things begin to go come apart. By sacrificing Petraeus, he also sacrifices the military - a win-win for Obama: two birds with one stone.
POTUS has no intention in winning abroad. His only interest is in winning at home. Some would call it ‘failing’ To Obama, however, failure is a win. That is why Petaeus and Obama will never see eye to eye. They don’t speak the same language.
Petraeus is a patriot; Obama isn’t. Nothing more need be said.
