1. But if you put quotes around the phrase
Edited on Thu Sep-20-07 09:38 PM by DavidD
Then there are zero hits.

Quoting the phrase means "Search for this phrase exactly." The problem with the way you did it is that Google finds any page that has any of those words in it -- e.g., "political", "general", "most", or "Petraeus".

Doesn't mean anything.

2. shit he might as well
its not like any of the current republicans are qualified, so why should he let the fact that his career is a textbook example of sucking up gets you everything stand in his way?

The troops who served under him and came up with the name Colonel Betray Us several years ago should be prepared to speak out on his behalf.

6. There are 2.1 million hits for the words "Petreus & political" on Google
What I'm getting at, is that this general is no stranger to politics in Washington. I think we should start "Googling" this Petraeus character to find out what he's all about. I bet there's more to this story than meets the eye.
