Petraeus was vulnerable to the (true) charges that his statements were at odds with observable reality, and that he has inappropriately allowed himself to be come a partisan figure rather than an impartial professional soldier.

Dumb, dumber, dumbest.
Update: ABC News has the hearing transcripts, along with reporting. Good news about the reporting: “Betray Us” doesn’t get much play in the story. Bad news: Neither do the challenges to the accuracy of the general’s statistics.
