General Petraeus:
Remember these words: Duty, Honor, Country?
Now is the time for you to come out of the shadows and strike a blow for the integrity of our Government and those who serve it honorably vs. those who use it to serve themselves.
You have enjoyed a great and distinguished career marked by selfless service...do not let it be sullied by politics and the endless stream of lies and deceit coming from the White House and Department of State.
Your silence is deafening. Now is the time for you stand up and tell the American people the truth.
Explain, as only you can, what has transpired these last several weeks since our unprotected consulate in Benghazi suffered a terrorist attack resulting in the murder of our ambassador and three others.
Explain, as only you have the information at your disposal, what really happened. Answer these questions:
- Why were recent, pre-11 September attacks against the consulate ignored?
- Why was the consulate not afforded better protection?
- Why did no one respond to the repeated calls for enhanced security from the Ambassador as well as security professionals?
- Why did the White House choose to hide behind a trumped-up story woven around a demonstration that never occurred?
- Why did the White House send out an endless stream of talking heads to promote their lies?
- Why is the White House still refusing to address what they knew, when and what they did, why?
RECOMMENDATION: Call an unannounced news conference for Monday at 0900 and tell the American people the truth.
This would be better if followed by an announcement that every swinging traitorous dog in DC was arrested and trials begin tomorrow.
We all have our dreams.
And if Petraeus has been ordered to maintain silence or has been relieved of duty? Then what?
Ordered by whom, his boss Obama?
He would be telling the truth and stepping down, I suppose.
It would be the honorable thing to do.
