PETRAEUS TAKES OVER...ALMOST

General David Petraeus was names as the new man in charge of the war in Afghanistan yesterday by President Obama to take over from General McChrystal. Petraeus must be confirmed by Congress.

COMMENTS:
The confirmation should be quick, but the end of the war there won’t. You can’t fight any war and win if your hands are tied behind your back.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. We’re just a few months from November elections. Do you have any new game plan in mind? (Orin ~ Redding, CA)
A. I’ve not been pushing for the Republicans because I think their National Committee is in a shambles and they don't have a clear, positive message. I had hopes they would pull their act together and they may yet, but I’m not holding my breath. Their continued requests for donations go straight from my mailbox to my trash bin. On the other hand, I’m not overly enthralled with the Dems, either. I do see that they are losing a lot of incumbents, and that’s good. We have another couple of weeks of primaries to go after which, I’m still inclined to say… look at the candidates remaining and pick the one with the least experience in politics and who hasn’t ever been in Washington. If that doesn’t make up your mind, THEN choose the Republican.

Q. For the first time, Obama made a decision; he canned McChrystal. Maybe he’s changing after all? (Carly ~ Scranton, PA)
A. Not at all. This is how it happened: McChrystal walked in to the Oval Office and said, “Mr. President, I have my resignation in hand.” Obama said, “I’ll take it,” and that was that. Does that make Obama a better leader?

Q. Here we go again with the damned oil well. Now that temporary cap is off again. These idiots are like loons; can’t they do anything right? (Susan ~ Atascadero, CA)
A. Imagine yourself on the edge of the Grand Canyon on a windy day, holding a peg on the end of a string and trying to maneuver it into a hole at the bottom.Until you learn how to do that, you probably shouldn't be drilling oil a mile down in the Gulf.
