Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.” “Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.

I think General Petraeus is wrong.

Obams's only salvation is WAR!

Given the economic problems resulting from printing trillions of dollars to waste in "saving" the American economy, the only answer is - sorry to say - WAR.

Obams will go down in history as a modern day Nero.

Gen. “Betray Us” sold his soul for a bowl of federal pottage years ago.

Petraeus has been in play since Bosnia, but not many have understood his role, his allegiance, or his master.

You are about to get a lesson.

Does Obama and Petraeus think they are bluffing???

I've been pondering that myself. I'm not absolutely certain either way, but the "noble" Al Qaeda "rebels" are most definitely unworthy of rolling the dice on their response. WHY? The choice is clear and it's NOT to act.

Another war we fought on behalf of the Saudis.

You should watch “Olympus Has Fallen”, a much better movie and much more entertaining.

It is sad if it turns out there are elements within the Kenyan’s administration, Feds at large, others, CFR, Int. Banks, whatever, that are holding him hostage to use as it pleases them.

We’ve got a lot of ranking people who stand to make a lot of money off war and nation building.

General Petraeus is so compromised I’d not be surprised seeing him wearing a dress flaking for LGBT military marriages.

“We’ve got a lot of ranking people who stand to make a lot of money off war and nation building.”

IMO, they would be the ones with American blood dripping off their hands. May God deal with them when the time comes. Meanwhile, we have human waste occupying DC, comments? Feel like you’re living in 1934 Germany yet?

Ya think they’re all compromised? Seems to be a lot of agreement on that?

I seriesly held out for Petreus as long as I could only because of his rank and service. I'm over it now.

Because we ARE THE PEOPLE.

And we have said NO

Bingo. To the extent Petraeus was compromised. He quickly went on to his own seminar at this years Bilderberger meeting,
subject: counterinsurgency.

I don’t fault Mrs. P for the looks she was born with, but based on the pictures of her that I’ve seen she seems to make no attempt to make even modest cosmetic enhancements. I don’t get that.

Bottom line here is that Petraeus is in the know about Benghazi... and Benghazi means US arming al-qaeda “moderate” muslims through Turkey into Syria. No mystery there at all.
But the real question... were any Saudi chem weapons in that shipment? Sent by Prince Bandar to Turkey for crossing the border to Syria.
