I had to look to see what state you live in - hoping it wasn't mine. LOL
and the briefer of presidents on national security matters.
In that position, according to a White House aide, Morell often briefed Obama as the United States closed in on Osama bin Laden, earning the president’s trust and developing a close relationship with him.
*******************
hmm... Supporting your info, I also heard that Petraeus never had a particularly close/friendly relationship with Obama.
We’re just not going to know until we hear leaks from this briefing Friday, but when I posted last post to you, I began to wonder, negatively, if Petraeus isn’t working with Morell & WH in order to call the dogs off Broadwell (who, in turn, if her father is correct, would agree NOT to spill the beans on “the much bigger story that has nothing to do with the affair”).
My mind bouncing back and forth on Petraeus motives and future actions. Sigh... Need to let it go. Will know soon enough.
“Under oath?”
Wouldn’t matter. He had “oaths” to keep while in his military positions and he ignored them. Expect he’ll lie in front of Congress to avoide being “suicided”.
Wonder what Peaches will have to say?
Here’s my take on this....pay attention, my plot changes by the hour.
I think it was arranged, probably by Val Jarrett, to place two valuable Libyan prisoners in custody in the CIA annex near the consulate in Benghazi.
A faux riot would be started and a Utube video was found to cast the blame. In the ensuing riot, the prisoners would be taken from their prison, exchange made, huge payment given to the Obama re-election campaign.
I don’t know why these prisoners in my scenario would be so valuable but with more thought there could be reasons.
Only the “riot” was taken over by an Al Queda attack so the group assigned to abscond with the valuable Libyan prisoners got swept into the consulate. At some point the annex was aqccessed but about 30/40 people had been removed from the CIA annex by that time. I don’t think there ever was a prison exchange but hey, allegedly “Libyan authorities” removed embassy employees....so maybe this planned prisoner exchange happened.
I sure don’t think it was part of the plan for the ambassador and those security guys to get killed. But after the deed was done might as well stick to the original script because mission was accomplished, just got to get around that bit about dead people and such.
Obviously the regime lied to the American people, of course they did, quit debating that point already and move on. The American people, in a fashion, spoke last week and either this whole sad episode was not in their radar but they don’t mind being lied to so long as it about things far away and not much import to yon average joe.
The question here, first I think that entire operation was done WITHOUT the knowledge of the CIA...come on, Holder calls up a couple of guys, they get a hold of a couple Libyan yahoos....it’s a done deal....five million for the re-election campaign, we’ll work on the State Dept and CIA later.
The CIA is pissed and I’m thinking also the State dept. I am so not sure that this was supposed to happen. I think the CIA and State knew it was a terror attack and were prepared to deal with it as suc h. UNTIL the admin called them and said this is how we’re playing the story.
An election coming up....yada, yada....we’ll get to the bottom of it later.
And of course they’re flipping congress the bird. Question here is, will congress, Dems and pubs, get insulted enough at this, do they care enough to knowingly allow an administration to continue endangering this country...do they have children, grandchildren? ....pride?
This is just so serious and I’m not convinced these defeated pubs have what it takes to get through it.
I desperately want to be wrong.
What will they do when Eric Holder’s presidential campaign needs some cash?
And we’ve no opposition party with gonads.
Scary.
This will serve to give the adoring press their talking points that will help diffuse the entire Benghazi narrative making it palatable to the public with a logical sounding scenario.
great tag line material.
I hope he IMPLICATES 0bama!
Just heard Rush say this. paraphrased ... Testimony will support video lie.
BUMP!!
They have to see what he will say first. Against O, we will not hear it from his lips. This is called sensored news, the commie way! You will only hear what you are allowed to hear just like the government controlled media treats the public.
One reason he is down because now he can't keep a close eye on the anti-American any longer. The other, he knows their ways and they will try to convince Americans that his word is no good despite his 4 star career. How fun it is for anti-Americans to bring a PATRIOT down. We should be used to it now.
That's a good thing. So he wasn't self absorbed with himself. Sounds he is humble and not ego-driven but American driven totally UNLIKE the one he reported to.
I didn't know he set the conditions. Thanks for that! hmmm, Is he worried of them dying on camera for what he will say and bedlam erupting?
OMG!! POS, himself, thinks he has influence over an American Patriot. His depraved mind has stretched to hold all that self absorbed evil self.
I think he better testify on his personal affiars before Libya.
But will he tell the truth?
If he now says Obama covered up (I do NOT think he will) then it means he was untruthful to the intel comity he addressed some time ago.
So how can he come out a winner? Seems to me that he has to either fall on his sword and say I went along with cover up and I am deeply ashamed, or WHAt???
To borrow from lib trash, is it Petraeus or Betraeus
