General Patreaus

[WillowTree]

was speaking to a senate panel on c span talking to Senator McCain. All of a sudden about six different people rushed to him, made some whispers, gathered up his papers and they all including the Gen. made a hasty retreat. No idea what in the heck that was all about. C span is silent at the moment.

I wonder if the "Administration of Transparency" will.......naaa don't hold your collective breaths. They are even censoring the filming of the oil spill in the Gulf.

 

[WillowTree]

they say "he was taken ill."

Green apple quickstep strikes again.

they say "he was taken ill."

Wow, they disclosed the reason, hopefully it isn't serious. Let's wait for the 'rest of the story' as the day progresses.

[WillowTree]

McCain was pressing him on withdrawal dates!

That doesn't seem to jibe so well....

Did he appear sick? Did he call 'them' to him or did they approach him?

Military emergency, maybe?

no, he did not appear sick to me. the camera shot was on McCain(who was speaking) and the first thing I noticed was McCain's face wrinkled all up with that look then the camera went to Patraeus and the people rushing up to him.

Gen. David Petraeus briefly collapsed mid-sentence at a Senate Armed Services hearing on Afghanistan. The hearing was suspended and Petraeus was helped out of the room. Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the committee, said Petraeus appears to be doing very well. According to the Atlantic's Marc Ambinder, the general did not eat or drink before the hearing.

44 - Petraeus passes out briefly at hearing

Don't be a partisan moron.

 

[masquerade]

Sounds to me like his blood sugar took a nose-dive.

Didn't anyone tell the General that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

I'm thinking that all the Bulls*** had created a methane gas exposure. The rest live off off of it.
