    Pat - Forgive the repeat … Moving this here from another thread. M
    ———————————–

    In an exclusive interview with FNC’s Chris Wallace Gen. Petraeus said someone from his hometown had emailed him this to keep his spirits high during this democrat/MSM inquisition … I about cried when I read it and felt its strong relevance:

    If

    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with triumph and disaster
    And treat those two imposters just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
    And stoop and build ‘em up with wornout tools;

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breath a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run -
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!

    - Rudyard Kipling -

    Perfect response.

    General Petraeus is an honorable man.

    I am very glad he did not spend much time or energy addressing the lunacy that abounds from the moveon.org crowd.

    I watched part of the hearings, and I must say, he sould have been hired to do this a while ago-he seems calm, competant, and knowledgable. I trust him and am ashamed at fellow democrats who would insult someone because they disagree with him. People like them are pushing me towards the center. Love the kipling poem, another poem of his that’s good is Tommy.

    shit,would be nice if this guy could jump into the presidentail race,but were gunna need him to deal with iran,maybe in 4 years when it comes up again

    Petraeus has been an “If” fan for years. Carries a copy with him. It’s a traditional military favorite.
