And we already know the CIA held up the mirror when Obammie and his Commies pointed the finger of blame at the intelligence agencies.

I posted earlier that one of the few times anyone in the Obama administration seemed to speak honestly early in the Benghazi fiasco was when Petraeus said that no one in the CIA ordered anyone to stand down when the consulate was under attack and asking for help. Then Petraeus seem to go silent from then until now.

Mike Morrell is second in command.

Imagine that.

The rats aren’t calling David Petraeus to testify!

“With Petraeus’ resignation effective immediately, he will not testify next week & lawmakers are said to be ‘stunned’ by the announcement.””

What the HECK does resigning mean he can’t testify?

What did he do, turn in his memory when he walked out the door (presuming he had a brain to begin with.)

You’re quite right to raise the issue to be sure. I still think of them as being on the same page as Russia, and willing to play along with anyone who will take the U. S. down.

We are all that stands between them and the world as they envision it.

I wasn’t seeking to leave them out, and if you want to list it as the Democrats, China, Islam, and Russia, I would agree. Is there redundancy as listed like this? Probably so, but what the heck.

I suspect that Obama has a lock on Petraeus or they would never let him testify. Petraeus probably has thought this through and convinced the powers that be that he is no threat or he would never be able to sleep again.

...................Holly Petraeus is assistant director for the Office of Servicemember Affairs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy...................

She must be handing out 8-1/2 by 11 business cards to get all that title on one page. Kinda shows you how deep the bloated organization chart must go in the Fed. Gov’t!

Perhaps this clarifies things a bit. Maybe they thought Petraus was a threat to give them away so they tried to replace his testimony with someone they knew would help them cover up.

Communism and religion have never co-existed. Under socialism, everyone must comply. No divergent ideology can exist.

I know. :-(

"Democracy is the road to socialism." -Karl Marx

"Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism." -V.I. Lenin

The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men. - Psalm 12:9

Nobel laureate, Orthodox Christian author, and Russian dissident, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, in his “Godlessness: the First Step to the Gulag” address, given when he received the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion on May of 1983, explained how the Russian revolution and the communist takeover were facilitated by an atheistic mentality and a long process of secularization which alienated the people from God and traditional Christian morality and beliefs. He rightly concluded: “Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”

Someone just said he can still be subpoened. They said the truth will come out. I don’t think Fox is buying the story.
