We’ll have to wait to see whether GenP still values “honor, duty, country,” above all else, so help him God.

I keep thinking about the post that said his wife worked for Grammy Warren. Is there a cite on that?

As much as I dislike Feinstein.. I don’t feel like she’s “in” on any of Obama’s plans. And could care less about him.

Watching Greta last night she said Feinstein wants answers to the Benghazi situation. She also said other Democrats.. including John Kerry??? Were complaining they were being stonewalled.

Wow. This Benghazi stuff could blow sky high and the Democrats like Feinstein and Kerry are getting out front so they are not implicated in any sort of cover up. IMO.

This is the same John Kerry who wanted to replace Hillary as SOS. Now it seems he wants nothing to do with it. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Absolutely! There is far more sinister things going on here. I look for Obama to be presiding over the NWO within 6 monthes. Either that or he will usher in the true anti-christ.

I fully agree with you. And the truth is that among ruling class men there is a common understanding that some things are overlooked. This is the reality in all societies. And a man so weak and emotional that he would feel compelled to confess an affair would never have risen up to a high position like that held by Petraus.

If an issue is made of something like this, it is because someone has decided to do so. There is, as you indicate, someone making threats.

WOW! I had not heard anything about your #1.

Of course he knows facts that can blow Benghazi sky high.

How about “impeachment” type facts?

Feinstein must be very scared.

The Feinstein bit was just more fodder- not really important- but those other two rumors are REALLY intriguing...

LAst night on FOX per Kirsten Powers they wanted Kerry for the job and decided against Rice because she is The Face of The Infamous Video and- she lacks gravitas...so if it’s TRUE Kerry doesn’t want it now- it must be getting ugly already...

Like I said somewhere earlier...of all petraeus’s sins, infidelity is the most respectable. Benghazi is a deja vu incident for him and this kind of gunrunning op is already on his plate where another ‘terrorist’ murder took place to cover it up...and conveniently stole the only hard evidence.

I may be stating the obvious and maybe its been said already but unless someone threatened to expose an affair why would Gen P. volunteer the info?
If so was it an attempt to discredit him?

McCain sure came out quickly with his praise of Gen. P ..... And the decision to not have him testify could be a trade off deal he made with mccain and company in return for the information “under the table”.... He said he went to the president and resigned yesterday, but i bet he struck a deal with mccain before that....

Sen. John McCain:

“General David Petraeus will stand in the ranks of America’s greatest military heroes. His inspirational leadership and his genius were directly responsible – after years of failure – for the success of the surge in Iraq. General Petraeus has devoted his life to serving the country he loves, and America is so much the better for it. We are immensely grateful for General Petraeus’s decades of work on behalf of our nation, our military, and our security. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”

He has the goods on the Marxist. He needs to tell everything he knows, given he’s lost his heretofore untarnished reputation with the public.

No one would. It defies human nature. It would be like going to your boss tomorrow and saying, “boss, I’m giving notice. Ill be leaving in December. Oh, and by the way, I’ve been taking $20s out of the till for a long time.”

Obvious that there is more to this.

King Statement on CIA/DoD Documents on Osama bin Laden Movie Collaboration

May 23, 2012

(snip)

Emails tell “damning story of…unprecedented, and potentially dangerous collaboration” between top Administration officials and Democratic lobbyists

King said: “Filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal may have set out to tell a blockbuster, election-year story about one of the most highly classified operations in American history, but through these emails they’ve ended up telling a damning story of extremely close, unprecedented, and potentially dangerous collaboration with top officials at the CIA, DoD, and the White House and a top Democratic lobbying firm.”

“After reviewing these emails, I am even more concerned about the possible exposure of classified information to these filmmakers, who as far as I know, do not possess security clearances. The email messages indicate that the filmmakers were allowed an unprecedented visit to a classified facility so secret that its name is redacted in the released email. If this facility is so secret that the name cannot even be seen by the public, then why in the world would the Obama Administration allow filmmakers to tour it? The emails also tell of these filmmakers being allowed to tour the CIA’s vaults, which is absolutely shocking to those of us who know the sensitive nature of materials kept there.

“Also troubling is the fact that the Democratic lobbying firm Glover Park Group was so intimately involved in brokering these filmmakers’ access to clandestine officers and potentially special operators only weeks after the mission and when details were otherwise still very closely guarded, and one of Glover Park’s primary contacts within the Administration, CIA spokeswoman Marie Harf, left shortly thereafter to join President Obama’s reelection campaign in Chicago.

“This is a very serious issue. We simply cannot forget what then-Secretary of Defense Bob Gates said a week after the raid: ‘Frankly, a week ago Sunday, in the Situation Room, we all agreed that we would not release any operational details from the effort to take out bin Laden. That all fell apart on Monday, the next day.’”

Also today, King sent letters to Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Michael G. Vickers and Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell voicing his concerns about the potential release of classified information to the filmmakers. The signed letters sent to Vickers and Morell are available HERE.
