Petraeus to Try to ‘Put Life Back Together’ Before Any Benghazi Testimony
pjmedia.com ^ | 11/11/12 | Bridget Johnson

The ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee said he’s spoken to former CIA Director David Petraeus about still testifying on the Benghazi attack — and the answer is not now.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said on ABC’s This Week this morning that his committee wasn’t told about the Petraeus investigation — reportedly centering around his mistress and emails — until Friday, when the general’s resignation was announced.

“He and I have already had a conversation. You know, he’s trying to put his life back together right now and that’s what he needs to focus on,” Chambliss said in regard to Thursday’s closed-door Benghazi hearing, at which Petraeus was supposed to testify.

Screw that. This man has an obligation to put this world back into some type of order after helping Obama try to destroy it. You scumbags sent Islamic terrorist into a sovereign nation to destabilize a government that was in control of perhaps the world largest active stockpile of chemical WMD’s. No rest for you. No comfort for you.

“world largest active stockpile of chemical WMD’s”

...which location, according to Panetta, is no longer known.

My guess is Syria, Gaza and Iran. A few in Mali and Niger.

Another new episode of fantasy “Democrat Valley”. Wow, they are running these faster than any other tv soap opera. Trying to bury Lybiagate.

Might not be such a bad thing. Right now the focus is on the affair. Let that calm down a bit and then have him testify. There’s time now. Obama was re-elected. See what comes out in the hearings. Let that be the news.

His wife is the daughter of a West Point Commandant. Do we think so little of her own fortitude and smarts in this? She has lived in that world her entire life.

What’s happening isn’t about some dame/hot tamale on two legs. It never was.

This is about 0bama. Only 0bama.

He KNEW.

Forget that! You took an OATH...... Of course it only matters so that the Obama Regime can cover up. No one seems to care about Sec. State Hillary’s (er..) Relationship with Huma....

Why did Cantor not pass this information to his committees to find the
Truth and determine if Betrayus, the CIA Director had been blackmailed
Or compromised?. Isn’t that w hat Cogressional Oversight is all about?

I’m sure that is comforting to the families of the four terrorist victims. /sarcasm

Cantor had an obligation to pass that information along to his committees
at the time he knew it. He failed by simply passing the buck to the FBI,
which was the source to begin with.
So let me get this straight. An employee of the FBI blows the whistle
And Cantor turns around and notifys the same agency without notifying
His own committees?
Both Cantor and Bonehead MUST be removed from leadership.

Married to the commandant’s daughter: I’m guessing he was one of the biggest suck ups that passed through West Point.

It is wholly infuriating to even think that a general who reeks with intellegence training and knowledge of the most obvious dangers of most commom infiltration methods could engage in a shakedown with a climbing broad.

Grant it, his own wife looks oddly disinterested in retaining any semblance of feminine appearance, and loveliness, to a point of shocking rejection actually, but that aside they were living separate lives by thousands of miles. This is still quite too much.

I just wonder when and who authorized the FBI to monitor correspondence from and to the head knocker at the CIA?

Remember when the two agency’s were not allowed to even share intelligence?

Someone some place had to know there was information to be mined and then had to grant permission for it to happen. The head of the FBI doesn’t have that power, had to be further up the chain of command.

What’s the over under split on if/when the General is “found” to have “mysteriously” committed “suicide”?

Odds of being “found” in Fort Marcy Park increase with time by the way.

I feel truly sorry for Holly Petraeus.

She didn’t deserve this.
