What really frustrates me about this circus is, that when one considers the “best” outcome for the United States, it cannot be seen

I can see it.

Obama must have something else on him at the ready...I do believe he is saying this under duress.

And I have ALWAYS said...he got set up with that chick...it's why they use females for spies.

Colin Powell doesn’t agree with Patraeus:
http://www.businessinsider.com/colin-powell-syria-caution-2013-8

Why did Lurch say the Saudis will foot the bill? That has got to be one of the most telling statements made last week:
http://thespeechatimeforchoosing.wordpress.com/2012/09/26/bombshell-valerie-jarretts-father-in-law-linked-to-opec-funded-islamic-plot-to-fund-obama-and-takeover-the-presidency/

Obama needs to be kidnapped by the CIA and dumped in Saudi Arabia. He won’t be able to get back in the US unless he crosses the Mexican border illegally because he has no birth certificate, no real social security number and no proof of US citizenship.
He and his sycophants are destroying the United States and they are about to create WW III.

Patraeus has to support Obama. He (and Hillary and McCain) were up to their necks in supporting the supply of arms to the Syrian rebels.

military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.”

In other words, if you are confronting a group of potential adversaries, you should beat up the smallest one in order to intimidate the rest? Do I have that right, "General"?

Zippy makes up complete lies without any evidence. Just find any recognizable name and threaten him/her.

Great Minds Think Alike!

Suddenly...from out of retirement - rides General Petraeus to the rescue of the most worthless president in American history and the man who obviously ordered his disgrace!

This is BLACKMAIL pure and simple.

An alternate interpretation is that Petraeus
has the same fidelity to the American people
that he did to his wife.

I wish I could agree with Petraeus. I once admired the man greatly. Unfortunately, he has shot his credibility through the heart.

The same goes with 0bama and anybody else in his dastardly Administration. They lie to us, they trample on our Constitution, they have no credibility, they screw us at every turn, they have no truth, they have no honor.

Why should we listen to anything they say or want?

The middle east footing the bill was discussed as a plan in 2012:

This article by the Brookings Institute discusses the entire step process of war with Syria - dated back in 2012. It’s all here, the whole kit and kaboodle. (It’s been planned for a while)

I remember an interview with the late author Vince Flynn back when the Petraeus bimbo eruption story broke. Flynn’s latest (and as it turned out, last) Mitch Rapp novel featured a high ranking officer who was having an affair similar to Petraeus’. Flynn relayed that he had met Petraeus, and that he was not at all surprised at what happened. He said Petraeus did not impress him and that he struck him as a “political” general with a strong streak of narcissism. So, it is hardly surprising that he is backing the narcissist in chief.
