What bothers me is that Petraeus participated in the cover-up, after he was outed as an adulterer.
Let’s be very careful here. I’ve never believed the coverup was designed to protect Obama’s “we’ve got them on the run” political meme, and overtly providing arms to Syrian rebels wouldn’t have bothered anyone. No, they’re protecting something bigger than that, and something that Patraeus would be on board for.
What mission was Benghazi part of that would unite the three of them, Obama, Hillary, and Gen Petraeus? I don’t think funneling weapons to Syria would have accomplished this. Whatever it was, Petraeus was brought on board specifically for this mission, IMHO. The heavy CIA presence in Benghazi says a lot.
Who else could have used some American weaponry, that may wish to overthrow their government? Why was Turkey involved?
Hillary, it might have been right at the end... but you knew your place under the Obama bus was coming.
They all need to go down for this COVER UP. We’re talking perjury and lies at all levels of two agencies and the White House. Don’t forget o’s little BS speech in front of the UN.
I actually think panetta was left out of the clinton, petraeus, brennan, obama loop and there was nothing he could do even if he wanted to.
Anyone who thinks this beotch will take one for the Bamster doesn’t know what the other end of a canoe paddle is for.
I watched Watergate go down from my position at the STRATCOM center in Tehran. Remember when then CIA director Helms was moved from CIA to be Ambassador to Iran? I certainly do. Cards are falling right now, and this is two days before the hearings start.
Nothing really important happened until Jim Baker asked that infamous question in the Senate Watergate Hearings. Seeing now a few Democrat house members asking questions or moving back away from the table is the dike hole just starting to trickle a few drops. After this weeks hearings, I would suspect someone like Ron Wyden to be the Jim Baker of any subsequent Senate hearings following the events this week.
Hillary has taken responsibility for the security, but no one has taken responsibility for the cover up - the false videotape story and the scrubbing of the talking points to eliminate references to al Qaeda.
” I haven’t seen obama, brennan, or petraeus mentioned ONCE. This is not right.”
Don’t forget Panetta at Defense.
The off with their head question is who ordered the stand down of our military. Or who refused to send help and why.
It was Romney who let them get away with this.
The coverup points to Ben Rhodes at the direction of Obama. Nuland played a similar role at State for Clinton. It's clear that Rhodes and Nuland were coordinating their efforts. At least as clear as these sort of things can be.
Interesting observation. Something to chew on.
Well, I guess that book “The Ruling Class,” is right on the mark. MCain makes noises like the old fighter jock he used to be, but my guess is that he never buys his own groceries.
