(IBD) Was David Petraeus Blackmailed By Obama Administration To Hide Benghazi Truth?

True Conservatives on Twitter ^ | November 13, 2012

Petraeus Scandal: An affair that was known to the FBI for months and kept from congressional oversight committees might explain his complicity in a false narrative of the Benghazi terrorist attack and the order to "stand down."

The addition of sex to Benghazigate adds a dimension sure to keep the scandal going and one that does indeed make Watergate seem like a third-rate burglary. The affair admitted to by Gen. David Petraeus, now our former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, might have attached blackmail or the potential for blackmail to a scandal we have already called a case of criminal negligence.

But blackmail by whom?

Petraeus isn't the first general to have an affair while in uniform. But as CIA director, Petraeus' knowledge of the nation's secrets was unparalleled, as was his knowledge of what happened and when regarding the assault on our consulate in Libya.

The timing of his resignation is most curious — just days after the presidential election and days before he was scheduled to testify before Congress, under oath, regarding the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell is expected to testify in his place. But lawmakers want to hear from Petraeus, and so do we.

As we've noted, just two days after the attack on our Benghazi consulate, representatives of the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) gave Capitol Hill briefings in which they said the evidence supported an al-Qaida or al-Qaida-affiliated attack.

The FBI and NCTC also briefed that there were several al-Qaida training camps just outside Benghazi. The area was described as a hotbed for the militant Ansar al-Sharia as well as al-Qaida in North Africa.

and speaking of Akkadian...

Beyond the idea of an icon: President Obama is a media figure and public idol like no other President before him. This fact says much about newscasters, but it says even more about many Americans.

Egyptian pharaohs were considered very important gods in their culture; in 44 B.C., Julius Caesar erected a statue of himself with the inscription, "The unvanquished god"; and in the mid 2200s B.C., King Narim-Sin of the Akkadian Empire was known as "the god of Agade."

But today, in the United States, most feel very much removed from such things. Why, our first president, George Washington, not only wouldn't deify himself, he wouldn't even accept an offer of kingship. Yet, also today, we see something very different. We see a man being referred to as "the messiah" and "the One," a man around whom a seemingly unprecedented cult of personality has arisen. That man is, of course, Barack Obama.

Yet, the scope of the negative reaction to the speech is not explained by such defects. In point of fact, traditionalists would agree with much of its substance, as Obama stressed accountability, warning students that all was for naught unless they studied hard and listened to authority figures. Rather, what apparently raised alarm were the lesson plans initially meant to accompany the speech (which, owing to the controversy, were later revised). They involved having students write letters to themselves, explaining how they could "help the president," and the materials asked questions such as "What is the president trying to tell me?" "What is the president asking me to do?" and "What is President Obama inspiring you to do?" The president-this, the president-that ... it again smacks of that cult of personality. In fact, one gets the feeling that if Obama had a version of a certain famous John E Kennedy line, it would be, "Ask not what your president can do for you; ask what you can do for your president."

Even this, though, doesn't fully explain the spasm of anxiety induced by his speech. After all, while such a focus on the chief executive would always inspire criticism, it could be chalked up to a misstep by the Department of Education (which issued the lesson plans) or, at worst, a self-centeredness not at all unknown in politicians. But with Barack Obama, the focus is often viewed quite differently. Remember that this is the man who had transfixed youth like no president in memory, bringing them to the polls like a pied piper; the man at whose feet people would faint at campaign rallies as if they were slain in the spirit; the man who, unlike any president before, was described in messianic terms.

Yet, are those who fear Obama just paranoid?

Please take me off of your ping list.

[Brown Deer]

I don’t have a ping list. I saw that someone replied to you on this thread, but looking again, I guess they just pinged you.

[Brown Deer]

The president's role expands as people clamor for him to reach for the heavens, blithely unaware that the only taste of the supernatural government can offer is a glimpse of Hell.

And it seems this expanded presidential role may now be accompanied by an expanded president's ego and expanded peasant mentality.

[TigersEye]

No, you pinged me to post #63. You pinged me earlier today on another thread too.

[little jeremiah]

I guess the only question now is some deus ex machina going to change their plans. Or heroes from the wings.

Or ordinary people turning into heroes.

Is a book every going to get written about who 0bastard really is, I wonder. I sure hope so.

Whoa! Thanks very much, Brown Deer! You too, Fred Nerks.
I have finally have time, late at night, to read and try to digest the information on this thread. What a pit of snakes, huh?

Thanks for the pictures...just remarkable!

The picture with the Saudi King shows the contemptuous look on the King’s face. Arab government officials refer to 0b0z0 in their conversations as “al Abd,” which means “the slave” in Arabic.

MX’s body language, sitting opposite to the king, reminded me of a recent picture of 0b0z0 sitting opposite Gov. Christie in Marine 1!

You ain’t kiddin’!

Soon, Wicki will have very few records of animals such as Marx, Lennin; 0b0z0, Castro and Chavez. The 1917 Communist Revolution and the 2008 Communist Revolution will be also featured.
