Almost missed this one.
Andy Bacevich upbraids Petreaus for lack of moral leadership.
From the Right.
While I think that Petreaus has been playing for the asset he doesn't have, time, I'd bet he's calculated that his path of least resistance is softly, quietly.
But I have to say that Andy's view is compelling.
I had the distinct impression that, politically, Petreaus may have won the battle, but lost the (Long) war.
Does he have more than one moment? It's very doubtful.
