I'M SURE THERE'S NO CONNECTION WHATSOEVER

Gee, what a coincidence -- Barack Obama just came back from his overseas trip a couple of days ago, and in the short span of time since then:

* General Petraeus gave an interview to AP,

* General Petraeus gave an interview to Reuters,

* General Petraeus gave an interview to ABC,

* General Petraeus gave an interview to NPR, and

* General Petraeus gave an interview to McClatchy.

And although the quote isn't in either the text version or the online video version of the ABC story, in the broadcast version Petraeus actually had the gall to say,

Well, I've sought to avoid minefields throughout my military career and actually to stay out of domestic politics in our country....

Yeah, right.

****

UPDATE: Oops -- there's been yet another Petraeus interview, this one with USA Today.
