Hard to keep up..

“The national intelligence director has launched a preliminary inquiry to determine whether there was a national security leak regarding the Benghazi attack to former New York Times reporter Leslie Gelb, according to a letter obtained by Fox News.

The inquiry would look into an op-ed Gelb, who now works with the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote for the Daily Beast last month. Gelb implied he was privy to the same intelligence briefing as U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice, who appeared on five Sunday talk shows Sept. 16 and claimed the attack was a demonstration spun out of control.”

So, she caused men to die, is that it? Ridiculous.

Wayne Simmons (Terrorism Expert) taking to Harris Faulkner on FOX saying he thought there were very few in CIA are shedding tears over this. Not because he was not a good man, but most thought he should have never been CIA Director in first place.

Was it a covert affair?

Yes, but the rules of engagement seemed to have changed. >

“She’s nothing but a slut and a two-bit whore.......”

And Petraeus is an angel who had no part in this. If he had kept his body part where it belonged, this wouldn’t happen. He wanted this woman and got her.

Why was Petraeus put in charge of the CIA in the first place? Couple that with Broadwell entering the fray. Have you looked at her background? Was she a plant?

Anna Chapman proved that the old Soviet Sparrow school remains intact under the FSB. Wonder if Broadwell might be a sleeper agent.

BINGO !

This may just trigger the interest of the main stream media.

"Broadwell is under investigation by the FBI for trying to access Petraeus’ email and possibly gaining access to classified information, NBC News reported."

Oh, now that IS interesting. Very interesting.

.....Broadwell under investigation by FBI......

This is the question which needs to be examined. Have the source of the Benghazi leaks been eminating from Petraeus/Broadmore? His performance in briefing the House was inexplicable for a man of his competence. He held the Obama line. He did not seem like that kind of man. What more behind this? Things are not as simple as they seem to be.

“A traitorous fool and a whore. Now the fool owes US the truth about Benghazi ... but since he thinks with his dick, the truth is probably the last thing he could find to adhere to.”

Finally, someone who knows and says Petraeus bears some responsibility for this affair. Plus, she isn’t a whore just because she has a consenting affair with a man. If she is a whore, he is a “whore-er” or a “whore-ee”.

He wasn’t under oath at that briefing.

“One of the better looking West Point grads around, I’ll say...” But rotten on the inside.”

If she is rotten on the inside, Petraeus is rotten on the inside because he went after her so he was rotten before she was.
