What's really going on

I posted THIS article so you could see what the press in other parts of the world are saying about Petraeus.

Hundreds of men and women, many of them armed, line up in a marble hall inside one of Saddam Hussein's former palaces, waiting patiently for more than half an hour for their hero to turn up.

The object of so much adulation is General David Petraeus, the 55-year-old commander of US and allied forces in Iraq. General Petraeus, widely credited with the military strategy that has clawed Iraq back from civil war to a semblance of stability, is in such demand for photographs that his aides have had to organise special mass photo-ops every six weeks inside the Green Zone and at the other huge US base at Baghdad airport.

Apparently he is a bigger draw than Angelina Jolie. I post this mainly for the part about how the Iraqi said he pulled his country back from war and created stability in Iraq. Don't look for a similar article in the American press. I have yet to find anything similar.
