Petraeus to Try to ‘Put Life Back Together’ Before Any Benghazi Testimony
pjmedia.com ^ | 11/11/12 | Bridget Johnson

The ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee said he’s spoken to former CIA Director David Petraeus about still testifying on the Benghazi attack — and the answer is not now.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) said on ABC’s This Week this morning that his committee wasn’t told about the Petraeus investigation — reportedly centering around his mistress and emails — until Friday, when the general’s resignation was announced.

“He and I have already had a conversation. You know, he’s trying to put his life back together right now and that’s what he needs to focus on,” Chambliss said in regard to Thursday’s closed-door Benghazi hearing, at which Petraeus was supposed to testify.

” - - - What is imponderable is the nation waiting on them to sort all that out. The GOP truly is appalling. - - - “

Romney lost so that Obama could be served up on the IMPEACHMENT Platter.

However, the GOP/RINO motto remains intact: “LOSE AT ANY COST!”

A better statement might be: “What is imponderable is that Conservatives in “both” political parties are waiting for their elected Federal politicians to call for the IMPEACHMENT of BENGHAZI-Coward Obama!”

The purpose of an elected Federal Politician in “both” political parties is to AVOID WORK, especially if the avoidance of that work brings harm to the United States of America.

Sen. Reid BY HIMSELF has shut down the 100 member US Senate for YEARS!

It is time for a Million-Military-Moms’-March on Washington! The Men can’t do that, as Obama only listens to Women. ( Michelle, Valerie, Hilly, Sandra, Susan, Paula, - - - ) .

Sure putting his life back together is way more important than 4 murdered Americans. Do I need the sarc tag????????

The subtext is: If I even attempt to testify there will be 5 murdered Americans.

And still no testimony.

Wrong answer, General. Nobody at that committee is going to ask about your personal problems. Man up and answer up.

” - - - - I hate to break it to ya but it’s not uncommon and some have been really successful at war. - - - “

First Civil War General Hooker made a living by using both locations of the male brain. No ‘War on Women’ there!

In fact, General Hooker probably did more to “unify” men and women than most men in the ongoing battle of the sexes.

General Hooker was a true role model to transparent Administration’s such as Obama’s.

Petraeus had a choice: take the deal or your family will start to have accidents. That’s how fascists work, and Obama and his running dogs ARE fascists of the worst kind.

That would seem to be a rather dangerous game to play with someone who has a lot of very deadly and covert friends.

Not now??? Let’s try this the next time we get a ticket. “Hey judge, not now”

I used to do narcotics. When I was accused of a felony, twice I think, I should have said, "Your Honor, I would love to show up for arraignment, but this entire affair has sent my life into a tailspin. I'll show up, but now now."

” - - - “Now, I don’t know if a lot of you have heard this but the CIA annex had actually taken a couple of Libyan militia members prisoner, and they think that the attack on the consulate was an effort to try get these prisoners back, so that’s still being vetted,” Broadwell said - - - “

BTW, what does the other smoking-hot ‘BABE’ have to say?

BTW, BTW, Michael Moore could to make this into a really great pillow-talk movie! He could even make the obligatory shower scene Obama-transparent!

Maybe MSNBC Icon Crissy Mathews will play General Petraeus? Why not? They are both blond - - - .

Sooooo, in your humble opinion, which congress critter is going to be the first one to start racist impeachment proceedings on Saint Obama?

Obama will never be impeached. Martyred maybe, impeached, never.

Speaking of which, watch for Thanksgiving to be eliminated.

The Thursday Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, and it is America's day to literally give thanks to the very same God that the democrats thrice refused to begrudge a place on their party platform.

Note how this year, retailers went directly from Halloween to Christmas decorations the very next day. Also note how The Hallmark Channel instantly went to 24/7 Christmas movies on November 1st.

Oh, one other thing:

THIS Thanksgiving is 11/22, the 49th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination, and muslims do like their little anniversaries, don't they? (Benghazi anyone?)

Just in case there's anyone out there who wonders why I'm the one runs the Nut-Job Conspiracy Ping List...

Read this article by Thomas Sowell .... all the stuff Obama has already to circumvent our laws and the Constitution .... and NOTHING has been done about it by Congress. Impeach? Congress can’t even stand up for the Constitution and the laws of this land ... they won’t stand up to Obama and his thugs.

LtCol Allen West might have, but that’s a moot point, now. Impeachmentr won’t happen to 0bummer&CoRegimeFromHell.

I Noticed that last year, The Day after Halloween I went to the store and they had CHRISTMAS music playing, that happened so fast I got holiday whiplash.

Being scary and spooky the day before and jump right in the middle of Christmas?

I was crestfallen, but now I know why. They want to get rid of Thanksgiving.

I missed that last year. In my defense, I’ve been unemployed long enough that I don’t go in stores unless it’s to get groceries or to replace something that has been broken beyond repair and is essential and can’t be worked around or done without.

Sure Buck!

Can you imagine if any of us during pillow talk or under the desk talk disclosed what we knew then and even now, getting time off to get our life together before testifying?

If he doesn’t testify, send his butt to Gitmo.

He's been in Benghazi the last few weeks "investigating".

He was either in on it, or he was getting ready to expose it.

This affair was either designed to discredit him before his testimony, or it was a way to give him an escape.

Time will tell.
