Honest to God, I think I might not make it another eleven days.
Maybe after he loses the election, the blood will be in the water and some Republican might get the guts to try and impeach him. Can he be impeached after losing the election but while still in office? Don’t know, but I can dream.
The road to the White House goes through Benghazi.
Hi onyx, hope you have been well! Now is the time for any “patriots” in this government to stand up and tell the truth lest they forever be linked to these treasonous acts. Petreaus ‘ image will forever be tarnished and his admirable work in Iraq a mere footnote in his biography if he falls on his sword for this joke of a CIC.
I LOVE My Country But FEAR My Government.
The interview is up now. Just Google News 9 Denver.
Lets make it Viral.
I’m an Aussie, would love to read the interview you are referring to, got a link?
Yep...just posted it in 38. Maybe we should post another thread with link to 9news to give it more coverage. I am hitting twitter with it.
Anyone see anything about the order for standing down not coming from CIA. See people talking about it on Twitter.
What happens if a Director of the CIA is ordered to maintain silence or is relieved of duty for some reason?
WHI has info up about an “all-call” and a lot of activity with Obama’s general counsel.
How can something that was broadcast in an interviews be "reportedly." Wasn't anyone listening? Is this anecdotal?
How OUTSTANDING would THAT be ? !
Me either!! this reporter deserves an award for his bravery!! That was one tough interview and Obama was visibly shaken by it!! Just Wow!!
I heard, JUST ONE TIME, and I can’t remember where, that those two former SEALs were there trying to find a weapons cache. I don’t know whether that was just a rumor or what. With this administration, anything is possible I guess.
Greg Craig answer the courtesy phone please.
“cartridges” in the music format sense are 8 track tapes.
an endless loop
What I posted came out on a tweet from reporter on the blaze before the interview ran just now. The link to interview is here:
