I have always believed that Petraeus knows exactly what happened in Benghazi. Benghazi happened about two months before Petraeus resigned as CIA Director. His testimony before Congress, November 16, 2012 was inconsistent and the CIA talking points may have been altered. I said then, that we should rename Petraeus, “Betrayus.”

One has to question why Petraeus is giving cover to the Obama Syndicate. Is this part of the modus operandi of the Obama Syndicate known as Chicago thug politics to intimidate and shut down criticism? With all of Petraeus’ military accomplishments, his life will be judged for being played like a fool.

Exactly. Which we should have known already by his silence on Benghazi.

The heat on House members has to be kept up during the coming propaganda onslaught.

Petraeus isn't wrong, as a former military leader acting strong and Firstest with the Mostest is the right strategy, to keeps America's foes from thinking twice about attacking us. However this time Petraeus is ignoring some glaring issues. Robert H. Scales, another retired general wrote this week in the WP (A war the Pentagon doesn’t want) "They (Pentagon war planners / military leadership) are embarrassed to be associated with the amateurism of the Obama administration’s attempts to craft a plan that makes strategic sense."

Are we surrounded by losers rather than leaders?


Why yes...yes we are.

Up until now I always said that David Petraeus isn't a whore, he just likes to have sex with cute young women who aren't his wife.

Now he's a whore. A big whore.

A Four-Star whore.

Petraeus may or may not believe what he said but his influence has been so damaged at this point that his position on attacking Syria is irrelevant - and he did that to himself.

This is exactly the kind of cover (”That great American, General David Petraeus”.....) that the RINOs crave. That, and the encouragement of “our very good friends and allies in Europe” (none of whom will participate, of course). The fix is in. 0bama will get his war.

This filthy scumbag Petraeus has zero credibility. Anyway, Ubanga has already proclaimed he’ll do whatever he wants to do, with or without congress. What a pile of horse manure.

Translation: PRISM has more on me than I have already admitted to.

There is probably more TRUTH to your statement than anyone will ever know.
