    It seems John McCain had that effect on over half the US voters in 2008...:rolleyes:

      I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often.
      I think we all know my views on politicians, so no need to go there.
      I will say that those at or near the top most have to deal with pressure and stress at a level we can't comprehend.

        Just to clarify, Petraeus is a military guy, not a politician.

        I give him a lot of credit. He took a job no one else would and seems to have made the best out of a horrible situation he inherited in Iraq having to try to clean up the mess left by those before him.

        Hope he's OK...

          I know Kurt, I was just using a very general classification considering his location and the company he was with

    I kinda would have liked to hear the question being asked at the time. I can't play vids right on this dinosaur so couldn't hear what was being asked when he fell out, but he looked pretty sick about it when he was leaving.

    I find it amusing that you would think we know what's up. We're watching the same news footage as you.

    The official line is he was dehydrated. He walked out on his own and came back to answer questions so appears it's no big deal.

      Interesting. That would explain the green look when he left. He really did look sick.
