IS SAVING THE WORLD FROM PURE EVIL JUST A PART-TIME JOB?

Interesting point from today's New York Times:

On a Sunday morning in early August, just hours after Congress had recessed for the summer, Representative Jan Schakowsky and five of her colleagues boarded a military jet at Andrews Air Force Base. Three flights and a Black Hawk helicopter ride later, they were lunching on asparagus soup and lobster tortellini at the home of Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker in Baghdad....

The featured guest was Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American military commander in Iraq....

...roughly 50 lawmakers have tromped through Iraq this summer....

Inside the Pentagon, some were concerned about how the top generals in Baghdad could fight the war and accommodate so many lawmakers....

Er, yeah -- accommodate them and accommodate the news media. A couple of weeks ago I linked thirteen interviews General David Petraeus had given to major media outlets just since the beginning of June; to those let's add this New York Post interview with Ralph Peters (a follow-up to this Peters interview from last month) and this one with the Army's SRTV.

Petraeus is doing all this press and he's doing multiple meet-and-greets with members of Congress? Er, isn't he the top general in the critical fight against the greatest threat to civilzation since Hitler and the Red menace? That's a part-time job?

I say that -- and then I remember who the real enemy of Petraeus's commander in chief is. Then it becomes obvious that, yes, Petraeus is fighting full-time -- in the War on Bush's Political Enemies.
