From Monday night’s Fox News All-Stars.

On General Petraeus’s media blitz over the weekend:

He is the face of the war, which I think is more than ironic. I think there is something odd about this.
The president made a decision. He comes into office and he has two wars on his hands. He decides — Iraq he wants to wash his hands of, and he’s out. …
Afghanistan is a war he embraces. He decides this is a war that is important, a just war, he wants to win it or succeed in it in some way. He triples our forces there. He gives one speech in December 2009 — [then] generally speaking, he stays away from talking about it]. He talks about the economy, autos, he talks about green energy, he talks about batteries. He doesn’t speak about the war, which is essentially his war.
Not the Michael Steele way that he [Obama] invented it. But he embraced it. He said this is important — I commit America to it, as we leave Iraq.
And who speaks on his behalf? Petraeus, the general. I mean, that’s OK, but that is not the way it ought to be done. If the president wants to convey a sense of seriousness, of commitment — and for Afghans to make a decision who they will support, to believe, he has to show he is committed, otherwise, you get a sense of he’s half-hearted [about] this.
