Gen. Petraeus wears Islamic turban in Afghanistan

Diana West has long maintained a low opinion of Gen. David Petraeus, whom she feels is one of the architects of Arabist/Islamist policies. With this picture worth a thousand words, what else can be said, aside from how he makes himself into a male who wears a Muslim male's type of headwear as a totally unnecessary sign of "respect", but which is more like degradation and definite appeasement, and gives a little more insight into how that degrading "option" was authorized for female soldiers to wear a burka on missions in Afghanistan?

After seeing this, I no longer have any respect for Petraeus, who shouldn't even be wearing what looks like a primitive coat. He doesn't need to wear a military uniform; he could wear a suit and tie, but to wear what may be tribal gear is just as insulting as that headpiece.

Update: and while we're on the subject, Rob Miller's discovered more about just how bad Petraeus and his aides are. This man is not suited to lead the US army, and should resign.

Well, I wouldn't go that hard on him. He has a long career as a soldier serving his country.

Rather than a fighting military general, he is more a political one like Eisenhower.

He is doing what is required, but I wish he would stop. We should get out of Afghanistan while we're at it.

Combine this with his defense of the islamorageboys killing people and willingness to take away a private American citizen's right to free speech which is protected by the Constitution that he swore an oath to defend, I think he has negated whatever good he may have ever done in the past & needs to be removed and tried for treason. He has finally earned his MoveOn moniker. Disloyal dhimmi crapweasel!

What do you expect, Obama would appoint a patriot?

Following his commander-in-chief's orders to respect Islam.

Pfffft.

Will,
Interesting that you should mention Patton. That was Mr. AOW's first thought upon hearing this story of disgusting dhimmitude.

I also immediately thought of Patton; with a Nazi Arm band having the troops of the 3Rd. army goose step by.
I know that's not an accurate comparison, but it's what popped in my head.

Good thing he wasn't negotiating with cannibals with a sweet tooth for one-legged toddlers. Talk about an American General tying himself in moral knots.

There is no 'american way' to fight this war if the goal is to be liked so much, Afghans want to be some pale imitation.

Our goal is to kill the enemy.

After that the Afghans can figure out what to do, I am certain.

well, i dont think so that its a sign of degradation for some one,, over here, mostly i have seen many of the people when ever they go some other place, they mostly wear, the dress, etc according to that place norms and cultures.. so if he came here, and wearing the turbine and other cloth,, i don't thing so,, that doesn't suit him... For Muslims , when every they go,, Islam and Quran have defined the cloth for both Muslim men and women,,, so they should care about that..
