So now General David Petraeus is at the at the business end of American firepower in Afghanistan. Viceroy, Proconsul, Broker-King of Central Asia’s mineral wonderland. Where Dick Cheney is, is anybody’s guess. And former Congressman, the craftily disgraced Eric Massa is holed-up at his place in upstate New York , exiled from Main Street and possibly dying of cancer. Buried but not necessarily dead. But back in February he met with journalists from Esquire magazine and told them this: “What we have here is a constitutional crisis. If what I've been told is true — and I believe it is — General David Petraeus, a commander with soldiers deployed in two theaters of war, has had multiple meetings with Dick Cheney, the former vice-president of the United States, to discuss Petraeus's candidacy for the Republican nomination for the presidency. And in fact, that's more than a constitutional crisis. That's treason." Massa claims his sources are four retired generals "three four-stars and one three-star" whom he has known for decades throughout his own service in the Navy. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets. My money is on republican landslide for David Petraeus in the next presidential election. This fix is in. And the only man who can break it has been broken.
