If he did it on his own dime and time that would explain the Obama panick-and-smear reaction, once it was discovered. Obama would take an unofficial trip as an effort to go behind his back, meaning, he would immediately assume the general was thinking about not "playing ball" with the administration.

Obama's desperate and angry demeanor during the campaign and even his and Valerie Jarrett's mystifying last minute threat of REVENGE made no sense in the context of a race with Romeny, who had done nothing personal to Obama; his anger and bile was what we took as evidence that Obama knew he was going to lose the election. But there may very well have another explanation in which the revenge comments make perfect sense . That wasn't a defeated Obama we were seeing, that was probably the Obama who had found out about the trip and just realized that his CIA chief wasn't going to go with the plan.

What we are seeing now is part of Obama's promised REVENGE.

I think you’re right. Remember all the nonsense about how the FBI couldn’t get in to Libya to investigate for weeks after the event? Obama and the gang clearly didn’t want anybody seeing the site, even the captive and politicized FBI. But he couldn’t stop Petreaues from going as a private citizen or at any rate, he probably didn’t find out about it until too late.

Obama has had the “dirt” on Petraeus for many months and has probably been using it to control him. Maybe Petraeus had a flash of rebellion and honor and decided to refuse to be blackmailed anymore, although it would have been nice to have done it before the election. But who knows what other threats Obama might have been using. I think Petraeus has adult children who might have been vulnerable, although his wife seems like a raving liberal and she probably wouldn’t have been harmed.

This whole thing reeks. I think what we have basically seen with the elimination of most of the generals or military personnel who were in the area and wanted to help or do their jobs when the consulate was under attack is not only an attempt to cover up, though: it’s revenge. Obama is very good at that.
