He does look like Christmas, doesn't he?

That General Potemkin Petraeus, I mean.

Hey, I'm not bitching, I'm just saying here, that's just the way it is. Back when I used to ride the train from Ft. Bragg up to DC or NY, I thought so then too. Same train ran through whatever place it is they keep the Jarheads on the East Coast, and there were always some of them riding too. They looked shaped up, lean and mean; we looked green with red and yellow spots. That's the one thing I always thought they had, those guys: Better threads.

Oh, we do like our ribbons. But this guy Potemkin Petraeus looks positively gift-wrapped.

Of course, maybe that's the idea.
