You weren’t paying attention to national news if you didn’t read about Petraeus.
- jncfhnb 3y agoIf not following the news is enough to miss someone then I would think they’re not that famous
- red-iron-pine 3y agoProbably could have been a president if he didn't leak a ton of shit to his mistress and get gmail hacked -- he was the golden boy for a while
- earthboundkid 3y agoYeah, he was the golden boy until he wasn’t. There could have been another universe where he parlayed into a political career, but I think the fact that Iraq is still fundamentally a mess cut against him because his big success was still sort of just an asterisk. He would have had to run in like 2012 on the platform that Obama was ruining his victory in Iraq.
