It is "absolutely imperative" that Gen. David Petraeus testify about what went wrong in Libya, even as he reels from his sex scandal roiling the intelligence community, the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee said Tuesday.

"I will say that I think it's absolutely imperative that Gen. Petraeus come and testify," Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), the committee's ranking member, told reporters. "He was CIA director at the time of attack. He visited Libya at the time of attack. He has a great deal of information that we need in order to understand what went wrong, how the attack occurred, why four Americans lost their lives and, most of all, what we can do to lessen the chances of this kind of attack on American citizens happening in the future."

How about Hitlery Clintoon?

She too busy flying about the world on our dime to answer for the rape, torture and murder of our men?

Obama has destroyed the economy....now he is destroying the USA military, and.....then he will destroy the nation!!! History repeats itself, As Rome fell, the USA is falling!!! I am so glad that I am a member of the over-the-hill-gang, and won’t be around when the nation is totally destroyed!!! I fret and fear for my children and grandchildren. Freedom and Liberty are dead and buried. Only criminals, corrupt politicians, freeeloaders thrive, the nation is dying, killed by its own hand!!! Washington, Lincoln & Reagan are turning in their graves!!!

She’s drinking wine with friends in Australia. Clearly more important.

I received this email this morning and immediately thought of General Patreus.

No English dictionary has been able to explain adequately the difference between the two words.

In a recent linguistic competition held in London, England and attended by the best in the world, Samsundar Balgobin, a Guyanese man from Bachelors Adventure (a village in the east of Guyana) was the clear winner with a standing ovation lasting over 5 minutes.

Here is his answer which caused him to receive an invitation to dine with the Queen. He also won a trip to travel the world in first class style and a case of 25 year old ldorado rum for his answer.

His final question was this: How to explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand. Some people say there is no ifference between the meaning of COMPLETE and FINISHED.

Here is his astute answer ............

When you marry the right peron, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong person, you are FINISHED.
And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!

Something to e-mail to every talking head, every Senator and every House rep.

--------------------------------------------------------

Fact One:

1) Only the POTUS can authorize a CBA (cross border authority) command for a rescue mission in a foreign nation.

Plus Fact Two:

2) No rescue mission was attempted.

Equals Fact Three:

3) 0bama turned his back on 41 State Dept. and CIA employees refusing to issue a CBA command and went to bed so he could go to Las Vegas the next day.

Petraeus needs to record everything he knows and hold
the recording in a safe place known only to a trusted
friend or two.

Excellent point. Hillbilly should be required to testify first so that she can't tailor her lies to fit Petraeus' testimony.

I’m sure he probably has already done so.

I think, for his sake, he and his family would be safest if he goes to the committee right now and begs to testify as soon as possible.

He better get 6-8 trusted friends (like ex delta/seals)and surround himself day and night until this is all over.
Then pack heat for the rest of his life

I think that Obama was blackmailing Petraeus, but I can’t be sure. It’s best to keep an open mind and consider that Obama and Petraeus are still on good terms. Petraeus may never say anything bad about Obama.

I think so too, and it kept him quiet until after the election. I also think they went to the well once too often, as often happens with blackmailers, so he did the only thing he could. He blew the whistle on himself. I'd be interested in what that one thing was.
