Allow me to highlight the key information in that exchange:
Senator Warner: Are you able to say at this time if we continue what you have laid before the congress here, this strategy, do you feel that that is making America safer?
General Petraeus: Sir, I believe this is indeed the best course of action to achieve our objectives in Iraq.
Warner: Does that make America safer?
General Petraeus: Sir I don’t know actually. I have not sat down and sorted in my own mind what I have focused on and what I have been riveted on is how to accomplish the mission of the multinational force Iraq.
Obviously the “objective” isn’t to make us safer. He hadn’t even thought about that one, because it wasn’t on his list of things to worry about.
The real objective is to make AIPAC’s client safer, and to protect our empire’s life blood. Of course these idiots will never admit that, nor will they accomplish it.
