Go/no go maybe. But he said it was the video. And he knew men were in a desperate fight for their lives and “assented” to simply let them die.

Petraeus could have walked out the next day and told the world what happened. He is more loyal to secrecy and the administration, than he is to the constitution and the people of this republic.

In other words, a polical hack, like Colin Powell.

I think you guys are barking up the wrong tree by focussing on Petraeus. Obama is the one who gave the no-go order.Yeah, Petraeus could have blown the whistle sooner, but so what. He isn't the key perp in this story.

So you think Petraeus wants American airliners to be targeted by MANPADs?

Exactly. Too many generals these days are politicians instead of warriors.

Yeah, Petreus behavior is just not making snese if he were a patriot.

"Petraeus could have walked out the next day and told the world what happened."

He should have walked out that day and told the world what was happening - in real time!

He had 4 - 6 hours to become loud and public and he did not.

I am disappointed with and angry at Petraus.

He left people behind. How can anyone in the military not think he would do the same to them?
