The reason for General David Petraeus’ sudden, forced resignation is as plain as the ass on a goat. Barack Obama wanted to discredit Petraeus, prejudice the American public against him and effectively intimidate the general into silence lest he spill the beans to congress about the Regime’s criminal activities of providing arms, fighters and support to Syrian terror groups from the Chris Stevens-managed, Benghazi mission.
Of course, Obama also didn’t want anyone “in-the-know” testifying about his treacherous betrayal of Stevens and 3 other Americans as he deliberately offered them up to al Qaeda killers. A dead Regime operative can never testify against his boss about gun running to terrorists, can he Mr. President?
Stevens’ base of operations in Benghazi was NOT a consulate, it was a mission which...

Hopefully, General P will expose the Obamadork for the sleezebag that we all know he is.
Anything otherwise will show that even well educated soldiers can be brought down by the slime that is liberalism.
And we will have no recourse but to rebel.
Praying for General David Petraeus.
At this point I am not optimistic that petraeus will be honest. On the flip side, have you seen his wife? No wonder the guy had affairs.
Don’t get your hopes up with Petraeus. He has already betrayed his duty and country when he lied to congress in September.
If he tells what he knows now, he will be admitting he failed his duty as CIA director, and was willing to sacrifice 4 American live to support a lie. At least he could have resigned before going along with the lie, blackmailed or not.
Where do you gain any credibility at this point?
My expectation is LOW!
He has appeared very meek and defeated in the few pics I’ve seen of him since this broke.
No telling what other dirt they have on him.
One thing is for sure. If anything starts to stick to Obama, this story will DIE.
Mrs. JohnnyP looked at the photo of the General and Ms. Broadwell and said, “Not a match.” As in, they don’t even look right for each other.
I think we already know, and the news ain’t good. And given that he’s got access to lots of important military and intelligence information and let the girlfriend have it we also know he never watched BSG. Luckily for him she doesn’t appear to be a cylon.
You could not count the times that question was asked about Bill and Hillary.
“Where do you gain any credibility at this point?”
If Petraeus now redeems himself by living up to his own words:

I agree that Petraeus is the one person who could sink Obama but I also agree with WILLIALAL that he will not do it. I don’t think people will forgive Petraeus if he reveals that Obama ordered him not to intervene in Benghazi and that Petraeus obeyed him. “I was just following orders” is no defence for a man in Petraeus’ position. He needed to make it clear that he did not intend to follow an order sentencing Americans to death and, if necessary, accepted being relieved of his position as a consequence. At least then he would have left with his head held high, knowing that he had done everything in his power to protect those under his command. Petraeus must continue his lie to save what little remains of his reputation.
If Petraeus disappears or is silenced America if finished. Nothing has worked to educate ignorant Americans so far and without exposing Benghazi for what was, we are finished.
“have you seen his wife?”
She looks like Newt Gingridge wearing a Liz Warren costume.
it would seem at this point, he really has nothing to lose right now by telling the truth. he has potentially lost his job, family, future career, etc.
however, the really problem is that now that he HAS lied, his word will not carry much weight if he tells the truth. he will be faced with "are you lying NOW? How do we know?".
*sigh* "what a tangled web we weave...."
The Obama administration has threatened prosecution. Does that mean that Petraeus’s military pension is at risk?
Don’t expect too much from Petraeus’ hearing. I expect he will not provide anything too shocking. More of the same.
Obama and his team were smart enough to hold the release of his sexual exploits until after the election. If Petraeus’ was really a loose cannon, then they would also be smart enough 1) to keep the scandal secret and allow him to continue or 2) to still hold back even more, unknown parts of the scandal as leverage, to force him to tow the line during any hearings.
That is assuming Petraeus even has something incendiary to tell. He simply may not know as much as we think he does.
I think we know it already.
When there are no standards adhered to diligently, we are torn asunder. Very like a chicken with its head cut off ... still runs around before it falls dead.
Who do we trust? Who can we trust? And WHY? What is the point? To suppress and be oppressive to America's people?
To Live in Tyranny?
