THANKS VERY MUCH!

Honor, duty, country, called for him to resign before the election, but he didn’t.

Now he must tell everything he knows to Issa’s Committee, despite lying to House members in their first closed door hearing immediately after 9-11-12.

I surely hope Jennifer Griffin and Catherine Herridge are doing their damnedest to get to the bottom of this...

Because we know as the sun rises..we aren’t seeing the full picture. Yet.

A popular figure in Washington and a media darling, David Petraeus took over as head of the CIA in September 2011 when Leon Panetta took the helm of the Department of Defense. Petraeus kept a much lower profile after transitioning to his new post. His popularity waned as a number of intelligence leaks drew the criticism of Republicans, who accused the CIA and the Obama administration of leaking favorable information for political reasons, and took a bigger blow in the aftermath of the recent attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Politicians and pundits accused him of covering up the true timeline of events that unfolded the night four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed.

The retired four-star general was featured in Newsweek’s special “Hero” issue just this week and provided a dozen tips on leadership in a piece penned by Broadwell, his biographer whom the FBI is reportedly investigating. “We all will make mistakes,” tip number five began. “The key is to recognize them and admit them, to learn from them, and to take off the rear­ view mirrors—drive on and avoid making them again.”
