Glad you edited that a little, Gary. My first reaction was "huh?". And I'm still not sure I understand.

It reminded me of the time General Petraeus was called to Washington to report on the Iraq situation.

IRAQ HEARINGS: Sen. Clinton Questions Gen. Petraeus - YouTube

After the General spoke and answered questions, Mrs. Clinton said his comments required "A willing suspension of disbelief", or some such weasel-words. It took me a while to realize that she was calling him a liar.

A liar! General Petraeus, for gosh sakes!
