Conservatives Who Demanded We ‘Listen To’ And ‘Stand Behind’ Gen. Petraeus Now Disregard Him

Well, the whole premise of the Think Progress story is misleading, as if the Republicans are publicly rebuking Patraeus. The author takes two disjointed stories and tries to make a point, but misses badly.

That being said, Patraeus' warnings should be heeded and his take on the subject put into the diplomatic mix of what to do with that mess. The Republicans should not reflexively attack the Administration simply because.
