Obama says Petraeus will not testify now. Why can’t he be subpoenaed to testify in Benghazi just like any citizen and give him total immunity so he can’t take the 5th?

In Chicago, you "confess" a real or fabricated political or private-life sin, then are found "suicided," having faced "clinical depression" over the wrongdoing.

General Petraeus may be facing the same fate for obvious reasons. The obama administration would undoubtedly be guilty. If this is suggested loudly and broadly enough, perhaps this potential fate can be spared. Spoil the gameplan with a little proactive defense.

Or...sit idly by.

She looks Russian. Her eyes don ‘t look right; windows to the soul.

Here's the photo from the Contact Information page on her website — fished out of Google's cache; she took her site down (guilty behavior).

Heard on the radio that his computer may have been compromised.

It appears she may have gotten into his email. There's an old interview with her at the bottom of the above link, touching on Petraeus at the CIA, the writing of her book, and winning a push-up contest with Jon Stewart.

“Maybe he was pushing for releasing the truth of Bengahzi...”

I admit I may be a little slow, but I have yet to undersand why it would have been to Obama’s advantage to lie about the terrorist attack in Bengahzi. It didn’t hurt Bush’s popularity when the two largest buildings in NYC were demolished by terrorists. Why would it have hurt Obama’s popularity to acknowledge that terrorists attacked the embassy? In fact, when it became known it was a terrorist attack, it did not hurt him.

“... that castanet-faced...”

Okay. I’ve gone so far as to call someone an anvil head before, but I’ve never heard castanet-faced!


It may be the first time that’s used! Look at her flappy, flappy lips when she talks. They look like halves of a castanet. She is a most obnoxious women, so proud that Johnson chose her. Hey, he chose her for Tuesdays at noon. She was not his one and only! Lol.

Why would it have hurt Obama’s popularity to acknowledge that terrorists attacked the embassy? In fact, when it became known it was a terrorist attack, it did not hurt him.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The style of fascism is to create crisis and introduce instability into the camps of one’s political enemies. You can see this as Obama still struggles for absolute power within the democrat party, and BTW, he is no democrat, he is a fascist according to the established tests of history (

http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html )

Now the left is eating their own , the death of Stevens in Benghazi, a supposedly gay leftist who was funneling arms to Libyan freedom fighters ( in truth who are mujahadeen jihadists), has brought on a series of purges over the execution of various duties in Obama’s cabinet, and damage and injury to various colleagues, among whom ordinary citizens are not counted, only fellow leftists.

So the cycle of a dictatorship is to seek lines of socioeconomic fracture, the fault lines of society, pursue them according to stated policies, initiated scandal and crisis and them purge those who do not make the grade as A TEAM fascists, those who are not loyal enough to el Duce Obama , for example, or those who have to be sacrificed when el Duce Obama’s schemes fall through.

Now Clinton, Holder, Petraeus, and various military leaders are coming under the axe , having failed in their loyalty tests , or in their execution of thug duties behind the scenes.Its very much as if the mafia has taken over the government. This is standard fair in any society in which fascism has taken power, they work immediately at entrenchment and consolidation of power. Governance becomes a mask, a bed of camouflage to cover what is going on underneath.

It is laughable to see the left recite infidelity and breaking marital vows as condemning Petraeus. They could care less about it in fact. They want a public reason to be rid of a man whop would reveal the genuine agenda of the Obama fascist administration in Libya.Petraeus was given a way out, or alternatively he would have been executed by the fascists who now are in contol of our nation.

Obama was caught with his pants down in Benghazi, and the good general was about to sing like a canary.He has been given his walking papers under threat of death IMHO.That's how fascism works.

What we see now are peaceful liberal fascist purges. Next watch as democrats and leftists begin to disappear, have accidents, or who are executed outright.Traditional conservatives are not in disarray,BUT THEY must be ready to fight under a common definition of the fascist enemy we now face, many are still in denial, and as it was in every case in history,the fascists task now is that conservatives must be re-educated, or conquered socio-economically, before these fascists can take full dictatorial power here in our formerly free nation. Conservatives stand in Obama's way.They must be destroyed at all costs by any means possible. The numbers show that the election was rigged nationally, and now the fascists have succeeded in consolidating power.This is about destroying conservatives now.It is why the Tea Party must NOT disband or cease its work.

Obama is ready to start dropping his mask and we will see more of the fascist face of the regime that pretends to govern a free people.In fact they want to destroy America before reconstructing it as a dictatorship which has a surface image of freedom and democracy, when in fact it is a fascist state using Utopian ideals to subjugate a hitherto free people.

Now the economic destruction of America and the destruction of the entrepreneurial small business owners of America begins in earnest. Trillions more will be borrowed and crisis after crisis will occur until we accept dictatorship as a necessary mechanism to cope with the various machinations brought upon a fearful, insecure, economically poor America by these fascist thugs themselves. But the fascist will continue to live like Lords, and they will create a new class of fascist mandarins in government, who will be the new affluent class intended to replace the fast disappearing entrepreneurial class of our country.

Thats all hope and change. And America voted for it.

Here is todays face of the Republican party, a face of those who could have saved us, if they would have accepted the fact that our nations is threatened by fascism.This is the face of GOP which now enables and empowers fascism in our country:

Photobucket

We all should urge Petraeus to testify on Benghazi with the House Oversight Committee.It is crucial to unmasking the fascist Obama administration.Impeachment of Obama must commence forthwith.

Obama is about to beat America like a drum, after he consolidates his liberal fascist power, and perfects his rule by executive order, and its enforcement.The courts are cowed by Obama, Congress is cowed by Obama, and he now has free rein. This is when the knives come out, and Obama has drawn his in earnest, getting the drop on everyone.

Another shocking Friday afternoon news dump and another hig ranking officer (3rd or 4th?) connected to Benghazi stepping down. In ‘08 when McRino said we didn’t have to fear an Obama presidency, my stomach turned and I had an overwhelming sense of dread. This resignation is another sickening moment. I’m looking out at a waving American flag not knowing what our future will be.

Young people don’t. They’re fed the Camelot pablum and unless we can make clear that sex mania makes bad leaders we’ll keep on losing elections. The youth vote wanted free birthcontrol and abortions. They don’t need a stinkin’ job!

The time will likely come when patriotic Americans, loyal to the Constitution, must resist an out-of-control federal government with force of arms before this is over.
What would bring it? Massive immigration of foreigners to federal lands by virtue of free settlement land grants. Watch for it. They mostly will be Muslim and likely from Palestine.

Safe to say it may be years before they are though that difficult time.

Oh, and that is if he doesn’t pull a “Jeremy Michael Boorda” move.

“We all should urge Petraeus to testify on Benghazi with the House Oversight Committee.It is crucial to unmasking the fascist Obama administration.Impeachment of Obama must commence forthwith.”

Not only was Petraeus being blackmailed by a black male (our Dear Leader) he cannot unmask Obama and his regime because he still has an axe hanging over his head by the Admin. They can go after Petraeus by having him demoted and/or going after his military pension on charges that he engaged in conduct unbecoming of an officer. Or other trumped up charges. Petraeus is in a perfect Catch 22, and he knows it. The worst case scenario is if Congress subpoena’s him to appear at a hearing to compel his testimony. Boy will he be in a big bind; to tell the truth or lie for the Obama Admin, that is the question. Either way he’s screwed.

It's a bit late for that.

Petraeus impeached his own credibility and compromised his honor to his position, the country and to his own wife.

If his own wife can't trust him, why should anyone believe he's telling the truth about anything?

He of all people should know, if ya throw out a piece of raw meat, ya better expect flies to land on it.

..and that’s exactly why he was targeted by Team O. But THANKS TO ZERO WHO HAS LOWERED THE BAR OF EXPECTATION IN OUR AUTHORITY FIGURES, a measly affair isn’t going to detract from Petreaus’ testimony. Not one bit. The Dems will remind us during the hearing, of course, but if Petraeus speaks the truth on Benghazi, an affair won’t detract. I hope he’s got good security and that they don’t leave their guns unattended like Romney’s Secret Service detail did. Hint hint.

He made it easy, by chasing skirts, and jeopardizing U.S. security and his own marriage.

As I said, he of all people should know, if ya throw out a piece of raw meat, ya better expect flies to land on it.
