It's common in war propaganda to repeat daily that your opponents and their military/leadership are weak, disorganized, mentally deficient, have low moral, on the verge of collapse, and have feelings of failure.

Petraeus has became a simpleton propaganda spinster in often occasion lately.

2 problems:

Petraeus is a traitor - as we know him from the time he was "General Betray Us"

Yes, war propaganda is bad. What Petraeus mentions is however helpful information that helps understand how top commanders are being killed. It's the information we want, so that can try to corroborate it with the other sources. Today, news of the (potential) 15th top commander to die, here. (And I know the Daily Mail is also not very trustworthy, but they are merely copying and pasting useful data, just as Petraeus copied it.)
