Among Republicans, there is no more popular general than David Petraeus, the commander credited for salvaging the Iraq war and the architect of the counter-insurgency strategy pursued by President Bush. Petraeus has always shied away from politics, but in a new book he is quoted lavishing so much praise on Hillary Clinton, he seems to be endorsing her as a candidate for President.
Shed make a tremendous president, Petraeus says in the new book HRC by Jonathan Allen and Aimee Parnes.
And for Petraeus, Exhibit A in why she would be a tremendous president is the very thing for which Republicans most aggressively attack Clinton: her performance as Secretary of State when the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked.
Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times, Petraeus tells Allen and Parnes. In the wake of the Benghazi attacks, for example, she was extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled.
