    What is it about Petreus that has all of our legislators cowed? Ever since his assignment regarding the training of Iraqi police/army was announced two years ago he has been heaped with praise and statements of confidence by every senator or congressperson of both parties at every possible opportunity - despite the fact that these training operations have been slow and inadequate. Perhaps its his Roman-centurian name that appeals to these people working in giant classical edifices behind marble pillars. They should abandon their daydreams of Imperial glory and focus on his performance record and irrational sycophancy.
