He is a public figure.

Found it. General Fallon---Fallon told Petraeus [in March] that he considered him to be “an ass-kissing little chickensh*t” and added, “I hate people like that”, the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.

Every one should try to find the quote of Betrayus's superior officer and commander in Iraq. He is the head of CENTCOM and had an irrudite summation of Betrayuses personality. He gave a real estimation of what should happen going forward.

If you want to get into illegalities the Pentagon should not be using enlisted men as backdrops at Republican political rallies. Also using a MILITARY officer to promote Bush administration policy is over the line and against all precedents of civilian control of the military.

WHO CARES ABOUT THE AD MOVEON.ORG PUT OUT? The republicans brought this up on 9/10 and now everyone is talking about it. WHO CARES!!! WE HAD 3781 US SOLDIERS KILL IN IRAQ AND ALL THE REPUGS WANT TO TALK ABOUT IS AN AD!!

I don't remember Sadam Hussein giving his permission either.

Petraeus is a Government Employee - not a "product" or "commodity" - who works at Taxpayer's expense, within the public view.

Unless he has patent or trademark paperwork on his name and likeness, he's subject to scrutiny from those who pay his wages.

Try again.

Now Americans need the militarys concent.

It would be interesting to hear what the general himself has to say about the use of his image instead of what the "Pentagon" (which is actually just a building) claims to say about him.

Reactionary NeoCons reflexively hide behind the troops, why would Rudy be different?

The use of young Americans in Iraq to further the interests of the oil industry is being done without my permission.

His consent? Is HE king-in-proxy for Bu$h? Were they stealing his soul? Do newspapers need permission?

When you are consistently slipping in the polls, attack, attack, attack seems to be the MO. Unfortunately that approach only shows up Guiliani's weaknesses. For him to stoop to appropriating the uniformed service men and women shows his weak position,. To do so, especially without their permission, is also so disgusting, and it only shows how desperate he has become.

Bull shit

Ghouliani should have to ask for our permission to have to look at his ugly mug...
