Petraeus knows exactly what was going in with Benghazi and he needs to fess up .

The Obama admin raked him over the coals , it’s time to give back as good as he got .

UF he tells us the whole truth and nothing but the truth , about Benghazi , and how & why the truth was repressed for this long , I would respect him . Otherwise he is just another suit that have up his balls to the Obamunist creeps

Yes, he did. Petraeus condemned the preacher’s actions as “hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant.” He worried about the violence in Afghanistan, but said the Afghans’ response was because of their “perhaps understandable” passion.

He should not EVER be considered for SOS.

Trump should take a pass on Petraeus. Too much baggage—conviction, 1,000s of email with Clinton, etc. Loser.

North would be even worse. Sorry, I sat in on Iran-Contra Hearings as grad student. No way. Further, every Marine I know hates the guy.

The Obama Administration shafted Petraeus, and Trump thought it was yet another attempt to pimp an American General. Therefore Trump wants to help Petraeus, especially since Hillary who has done much worse, is skating for similar and much, much more heinous crimes. The Petraeus sin pales in comparison to Hillary and her husband’s total corruption. Trump doesn’t like it when someone in the military gets shafted. I think it is as simple as that.

Petraeus got rid of the Iranian paymasters in Iraq in December 2006, a month before the surge started. Attacks went from over 100 to 7 in one week. And they stayed down. That one act of leadership saved hundreds of American lives.

I don’t care about the gossip column bs Leftists run on about.
