I think Petraeus was forced out. I don’t think there was any affair.
Remember now, Petraeus clearly stated that HIS DEPT did not order a “stand down” order.
Petraeus was correct. According to law, NO ONE BUT THE PRESIDENT CAN ORDER A CROSS-BORDER AUTHORITY (CBA) order. Which means the “stand down” came from somebody in the WH - not the intel dept. Unless the WH issued the CBA, all the units in readyness would be forced to not complete the mission. Intel couldn’t do that .. Hillary couldn’t do that .. only the President has the CBA authority.
The WH had to get rid of Petraeus before he spilled the beans at the hearings next week. If Petraeus was asked who issued the “stand down” order - (under oath) he would be compelled to answer: the WH. This would, of course, mean that Obama intentionally allowed our American Citizens to be killed to protect .... WHO ..?? OR WHAT ..??
Then, this causes me to wonder .. what if we get attacked in America .. is Obama just going to trot off to bed and allow us to die too ..??
I don’t look for conspiracies .. but this whole Benghazi thing has been a fiasco from the start. I can’t get past the fact that Stevens and Smith might have been killed to keep another gun-running operation from being exposed.
I agree; this reeks. Just a coincidence that the man at the CENTER of the Benghazi scandal just happens to resign, just a few days after the election, for this BS reason? Do people even resign over this kind of thing anymore? I mean doesn’t the beyond cynical population just expect that these public figures are all morally bankrupt anyway? I know his reputation is very good, but seems to me he could have just as easily done an “I’m so sorry...” speech.
Sure the guy was having an affair; but that can’t be the reason he resigned today.
I wonder if there are any reporters good enough to get the real story...
