Gen. Petraeus Battling Prostate Cancer
 Source: CBS News/AP

Gen. David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in February and has since undergone two months of radiation treatment.

Petraeus, 56, was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer, which was not publicly disclosed at the time because Petraeus and his family regarded his illness as "a personal matter" that "did not interfere with the performance of his duties," said his spokesman, Col. Erik Gunhus. President Barack Obama and top members of his administration were informed, he said.

As commander of a region running through the Middle East and across Central Asia, Petraeus did make at least one overseas trip during his treatment.

The Pentagon termed Petraeus' treatment "successful." He was treated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

In recent months, Petraeus has been noticeably on the sidelines of the public debate over how to salvage the war effort in Afghanistan.

5. If only our war over there had been as righteous as a battle against cancer.
 In this case, it appears we are the cancer.

7. Tens of thousands of men in their 50's "battle" prostate Cancer, successfully.
 Why do we need to know about this man's condition? Is it affecting his job performance?

Would anyone notice if he were retired or on sick leave? Why should we be told this?

I put the over/under at 15.  I never underestimate the DUmba**es ability to stoop to the lowest level imaginable.

Actually they seem to be somewhat more restrained than usual.
That is a sad fact.

It just makes me mad for them to treat such a important man with such hatred they need to be slapped
