Worth mentioning historic reality against the Arabist myth... Fact is Hezbollah was conceived in 1978 by Ayatollah to spread Islamism outside Iran... And NOT a mere "reaction" to 1982 Israel's defensive action against PLO butchers in Lebanon.

Impetus for the founding of the Lebanese Hezbollah came from the Hezbollah Party formed in Iran in 1978 by Hadi Ghaffary, a cleric with close ties to Ayatollah... Khomeini decided to export his Islamic revolution and to form a Hezbollah group among the Shi'ites of Lebanon.

Not to mention almost all bloody conflicts - all around the globe -- all related to political Islam (Radical Islam against infidels, or Muslim sect A vs Muslim sect B) and NOT related to the Zionist state at all.

Thanks for this. Never trusted the guy—anyone who would support this administration, as he undoubtedly has, in its malign vision for our nation, has gone over to the enemy. I think he spent too much time being brainwashed in academia.

And to think of how many FReepers here were Jonesing for the empty-suit, self-proclaimed ‘Rockefeller Republican’ Petraeus to be our presidential or VP nominee.

IMO that shows the dangers of projecting political positions, virtue and talent upon military officers.

a source told Fox News on September 27 that three days after the Benghazi assault, Petraeus briefed the House Intelligence Committee that "Benghazi was an out-of-control demonstration prompted by the YouTube video. According to the source, this was `shocking' to some members who were present and saw the same intelligence pointing toward a terrorist attack."

WOW.

CIA Director Petraeus, (who is also the architect of the failed COIN strategy which is still in place with ridiculous ROE's), is a total FOOL.

The CIA is obviously clueless..why are We the People continuing to allow our taxes to support this useless/clueless outfit?
