McCain's Hero Petraeus: "I Do Think You Have To Talk To Enemies"

By Greg Sargent - October 9, 2008, 2:18PM

So General Petraeus agrees with Barack Obama -- and not John McCain -- on the question of whether we should meet with hostile enemies?

In an interview that aired on CBS last night, John McCain, when asked which three living people he'd like to have dinner with most, promptly chose General Petraeus. McCain frequently hails Petraeus as an "American hero."

McCain, however, might not enjoy that dinner so much if he heard Petraeus' views on one of the leading foreign policy differences he has with Barack Obama.

In a case of comically awful timing, Petraeus yesterday gave a talk at the Heritage Foundation in which he more or less echoed Barack Obama's views on negotiating with hostile foreign leaders -- views that McCain has repeatedly subjected to criticism and ridicule.

1. Gramps thought that because bu$h put him there that he was

obligated to support anything the bat shit crazy republican was spewing.

:rofl:

2. He should have said this earlier, there are no more foreign policy debates.

Great to see, though. :rofl:

3. I'd wager that Patraeus feels contempt for McCain

I'm sure he's sick of being used by McCain for cheap politics. Petraeus knows exactly what the surge is, and what it isn't.

4. Here's to hoping that Keith and/or Rachel report on this tonite.
