(Lack Of) Military Support For Afghanistan Withdrawal Plan

Do you, like most everyone else, respect General Petraeus and his ability as a top military commander? He's primarily responsible for conditions in Iraq that are allowing us to withdraw troops there according to the timetable President Bush agreed to with Iraqi leadership. General Petraeus is also primarily responsible for the success we've had in Afghanistand getting control over the Taliban and for kicking terrorist butt in the region. I doubt that there's a more respected high-level commander in our armed forces. Good judgement and excellent leadership are his proven legacy.

Considering that, do you REALLY think it's simply a coincidence that General Petreaus retired just before  the president announced his Afghanistan withdrawal plan?
