| Petraeus warns Iran becoming 'thugocracy' |
| 2010-03-08 |
| Yes, 30 years ago. General David Petraeus, the head of US Central Command, warned Sunday that Iran is becoming a "thugocracy" in attempts to suppress popular anger over last year's contested presidential vote results. "I think you've heard it said by pundits that Iran has gone from being a theocracy to a thugocracy," Petraeus, whose command stretches from Egypt to Pakistan and includes Iran, said on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." Petraeus said Iranian actions were making it easier for the United States to build a coalition and added: "President Ahmadinejad is often our best recruiting officer." |
