Will Petraeus Be Like Ike?
By Philip Klein from the May 2010 issue

In the early stages of implementing the surge strategy in Iraq, United States military commanders started to detect that the new plan was working, but the signs of progress were overshadowed as casualties mounted while American soldiers fought to secure the cities.

During a meeting around this time, a senior officer put his arm around Gen. David Petraeus, then leading the war effort in Iraq, and advised, "You know, you've got a messaging problem."

Petraeus replied, "With all due respect, what we really have is a results problem."



Due to actions taken by the Obama Administration that have stifled demand and increased labor costs, our annual production costs have been raised by more than $26,000 starting with this month's issue.

You can help by joining the new E Pluribus Unum Society today. For as little as $10 a month, you'll receive a complimentary copy of The American Spectator magazine and have more of your tax-deductible money go toward the American Spectator Foundation's cause of promoting conservative principles and journalism.
