The reason Petraeus took a step down along his career path to accept command in Afghanistan is because he is a bigger and better patriot than his commander in chief. If Obama had the necessary qualifications for an American president ("qualifications" meaning more than just the requisite number of votes, which factor also calls into question the qualifications of the voters who voted for him), McCrystal would never have had to be relieved of command, and Petraeus would never have had to make another self-sacrificial move on behalf of an ungrateful president and his administration of ego-maniacs.

Personally, I think it would have been funny as heck in a darkly humorous way if Petraeus had responded by tendering his own letter of resignation, leaving Obama high and dry. That he didn't is testimony to the fact that he is a better man than his president.

Bruce Lee quotes? Really?

It reminds me of The Sphinx from the movie Mystery Men...

"If you do not master your ignorance, your ignorance will master you."

"We are number one. All others are number two, or lower."

"He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions."

"When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack."
