HOLY COW - MUST WATCH TV – Piers Morgan works his butt off trying desperately to protect the White House and President Obama’s Administration over what they knew of this intelligence compromise. THE CNN deflector, Susan Kelly, jumps into the mix to defend Obama at all costs saying… “the woman still is not identified”. This is getting ridiculous….
According to Reporter/Biographer Ronald Kessler of Newsweek, with inside information from the FBI, the White House was notified of the compromise in the Spring and specifically said to wait to deal with it until after the election. According to sources, the FBI investigators were highly upset at the decision NOT TO ADDRESS and have spoken to Kessler at length.
Here is the second segment. We have documented the specific purpose of Susan Kelly – Watch what she does in this segment. WATCH:
UPDATE: Brett Baier reports his source, who spoke to the General within an hour of the official public notifcation, says Petreaus WANTS to testify at the “under oath” Senate Hearings on Benghazi next week. Yet, the White House states Petreaus will not?
UPDATE: The Petreaus Resignation is effective *IMMEDIATELY* – No transition time?
On Thursday (yesterday) President Obama called CIA Director David Petreaus to the White House for a personal coversation and meeting. Petreaus did not initiate the meeting – He (the Gen) was previously scheduled to attend an intelligence meeting at the same time and instead had to make arrangements for a Senior Staff to fill his stead. Then today General Petreaus has offically resigned….. This is breaking…… more will follow soon……
Petraeus is now claiming that he had an extra-marital affair with a staffer, and is resigning for *cough* personal reasons… Un huh… (not buying it)
“Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position,” Petraeus said in his resignation letter. “After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.”
“This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation,” Petraeus said in the letter. (article)
Yeah, so what reason is there for going “public” with the “affair”, if, if, that is indeed the true motivation for the resignation – why make it public? You want to tell people publicly you f**ked around on Holly? ((((BUZZER)))) wrong answer. No way. Not buying it.
This is not something that would be put into the public consumption model – unless there was an alternate reasoning.
And the Media gets the Official Letter of resignation broadcasted SIMULTANEOUS to the actual public notice of resignation. Within moments…. c’mon – seriously?
Remember this prior statement (below) from Petreaus regarding Benghazi. Also, remember the Benghazi hearings in the Senate are next week….. Gee, ya think he’ll still be required to testify? and Also, remember On Monday Rep. Peter King (R-NY) called on President Obama to identify the White House staff members who may have unlawfully disclosed intelligence on the Benghazi attack to journalist Leslie Gelb from the “Council On Foreign Relations…….
Why would you make the “affair” public? OK, so now lets hear from the one he was having sex with?…..
If the media finds him or her… fine. I’ll shift my perspective. However, if the media makes NO ATTEMPT to find him or her then – THAT RIGHT THERE is proof it is a cover story.
I told y’all 3 days ago that finding Benghazi Truth was dead (impossible) unless we heard from the DC Hookers and Sex angle operatives that enjoy sex parties with the insider crowd on a regular basis. I didn’t think the cover would be less than 72 hours from our mention…… So c’mon media find that boy or girl he was boinkin’ (if they exist).
Twenty years ago the media would have had the information before he stepped on the white house lawn. Benghazi sleeps with the fish. Not a problem for the lapdog media; actually, the preferred modus under the new collective.
Pathetic
The Daily Caller, Slate and others are reporting that the woman in questions is none other that the Gen’s biographer Paula Broadwell.
Maybe there is somethin’ impeachable.
Like you said, congress should have given’ Akaobama everything he wanted this would all be over now. I think David Petreaus was given “an offer he couldn’t refuse” I can’t prove it, but if you believe the Chicago way is alive in DC you can’t deny it. These are interesting time indeed.
They have a problem. We are not 1930′s Germans.
Right, not as long as we stay armed I’m not giving mine up till it is pried from my cold dead hands!
Well geee….. She’s outed that fast. And NOT by the media – but by the FBI “sources”…. ok, damn skippy this was a leveraged retirement.
And they must have video of the encounters too if they’ve been tracking him that long as well as rather EMBARASSING coorespondance that I’m certain he is not comfy reaching the light of day…..
…… sex and politics….. Some things never change.
Stephen Hayes of Fox says the sex angle is likely to keep the Benghazi -CIA story alive simply because OF the sex angle…they know people will now be interested. I don’t know if I agree, though. When people voted back in Barry, they showed they don’t care much about anything.
SPILL THE BEANS, GENERAL PETRAEUS!!!
Point of leverage. To get rid of someone who was becoming a liability.
Since when is a general having an affair a disqualifier. It. Is. Not.
Kay Sommersby???? (may have only been an affair of the heart….but was perceived to be a standard extra-marital affair)
Affair my ample arse.
I’m calling bull butter on this.
It is scary isn’t it. WTF is going on? I might not have as much time as I thought. This could end up in a shootin match.
Show us the “other woman”, or, “other man” as the case may be….
I can’t remember where I heard this yesterday but I heard it’s against Military law to commit adultery.
It is. Although General Petreaus is still bound by the UCMJ, it really isnt practical. It would be more of an ethical concern with his political/professional position.
Keep in mind that she is a Major in the Army Reserves too. He wasn’t the only one breaking the rules.
Thank goodness they repealed “Don’t ask, don’t tell” because he was having an affair with Ben Gazi. I wonder if he is going to claim he couldn’t be reached during the crisis because he was with his mistress? Someone had to fall on the sword.
….or be pushed?
Look out for Weasley Clark. He may be in line.
There is now Coca-Cola (the REAL thing) all over my work monitor. Godzilla’s gonna eat me……
No backtracking! Treehouse just posted that Benghazi had died and to get over it…. That ink was not even dry and now here we are!
Be specific – we said:
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2012/11/04/benghazi-stuff-however-plausible-deniability-firmly-in-place/
Mata-Haris for Obama. Works every time.
Now let’s see if General BetrayUs resigned so that he can tell the truth next Thursday. I am not holding my breath.
More like the general resigned so that he would not have to testify. If he is in no official capacity and cannot (by his resignation) gain access to or compel anyone formerly under him to divulge information, then what can be got out of him?
Who are the 60+ million idiots who voted for Obama? (I hate to say it, but one is a sister to me.) And I know it has been pointed out all too often, but what is this bullticky from the White House about a commitment to an open and transparent government?
From: http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/TransparencyandOpenGovernment
Transparency and Open Government
Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies
SUBJECT: Transparency and Open Government
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Reading this (excuse me while I puke), it becomes apparent that the Obama White House, in acknowledging that “Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government” is committed to destroying our democracy and committed to an inefficient and ineffective government.
How sad….all that you said was true. If Congress makes him testify, then it has to be unclassified info and the hearing has to be public. This is a sneaky attempt at a cover-up.
It’s not that sneaky. They don’t have to be sneaky any more. They are running the government and have been for years. No need for subtrefuge.
They created a democracy. Destroyed a republic. Ya got that backwards matey.

This may be the night of the long knives. Will the rank and file follow dear leader? Stay tuned.
Shhhh ….the night is coming and it’s a surprise ….let’s keep it our little secret ..’kay
http://dancingczars.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/ok_logo-image1.jpg
One can only hope. At this point it would be the better solution in my opinion.
Politics is the coliseum of liars and thieves, but it is not the only arena.
I hope people realize why I have become a Pirate. This is easy. We are broken down. It is gonna get real ugly real quick. Now Petreus won’t testify in the Benghazigate. This is no longer the USA and I owe it nothing. Pirates rule. If there is a Pirate Party i will register to vote again.
Arrrrr ….Cutlass and pistol ….I come equipped
Then sign the articles and join the Krewe. Pirates everywhere. Behind every blade of grass.
Presently and for too many years our government has functioned as a theater of the absurd. That can’t continue forever.
Gut wrenching decision…Per Mike Baker former CIA Operations Officer. When did it become so gut wrenching??? Before or after Benghazi? Before or after the election?
Do you have a link – or was he on some media show?
The affair is really none of our business or concern, general. The affair is really small beans compared to what took place in Bengazhi and what you kinow. Morally you have an obligation not to betrayus,general; the American people are owed that much. May God and your conscience be your guide.
The affair is none of our business – UNLESS IT DOES NOT EXIST – then it very muchly IS OUR BUSINESS. That’s the point.
This crowd is so sleazy that they can certainly manufacture someone to step in as the mystery lady. SD, I know as well as you that this crowd thinks this is an air tight scheme and we all are dummies; that is why my comment regarding the general’s conscience.
OK now I jump in. I believe that Petreaus is being blackmailed, under the guise that he can’t then testify. Yesterday, (I captured) film of Rep Gowdy saying that Petreaus will testify by choice or by Subpoena. The Won’s camp “just happened to find dirt on him, from the FBI no less? Not on your life! Affairs in DC are so common place. I hope Petreaus is subpoenaed, he might even welcome it.
AND O/T but what if the election was stolen? It wouldn’t have taken much to do so.
I’m now going to look for and approiate thread, if I don’t find one I’ll be back. I do know that they are looking for volunteers in at least 4 states, WI, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Contact your respective State GOP. Remember, it’s the electoral college that we vote on, all those names under Mitten’s was our order of who/how the electors will cast their ballots next month. Also, anyone paying attention to what’s going on in Allen West’s race? FRAUD!
Nope…The once great General David Patraeus will not be testifying at intel hearing.
Maybe, maybe not. Feinstein will probably try her level best to keep him out of the Senate hearings next week, but there’s alway the House Committee. I hope Petraeus has written everything down and put several copies is very safe places. I don’t think his life is very safe otherwise.
Heard on FOX News earlier that if the affair took place like they suspect, that the military can bring Gen P back from retirement and demote him because it is a HUGE NO NO to do that there (paraphrasing)
He is the head of the CIA. The CIA is deeply involved with Benghazi–one way or another. The idea that w/o a whisper about an affair, he up and says ‘I’m a bad boy and I have to go! i cheated on my wife that happens to work for you, too!’
This goes much deeper than the murders of our SEALs and ambassador which in and of itself, is sick and I personally believe, is treasonous.
But supplying heavy arms to the enemy, Al Qaeda, to take down the structure of the middle east first in Liybia and the shift those arms to Syria to do the same, seems to be out right death penalty kind of treason.
It is pertinent whether he had an affair or not. We are shedding high level brass left and right to avoid finding out the truth. Petreaus has already made statements that if true, means that orders were not given to do ‘everything necessary’ to save their lives.
We are talking high treason here–for many involved–and this guy just up and quits over an affair???
We pay him, he works for us, and yes, we deserve to know exactly why the head of the CIA resigned right after an election when our country is at a very weakened position globally.
This whole thing reeks to high heaven.
God bless and protect our men and women serving around the world because Lord knows, our ‘government’ will not.
Just a thought, the affair might have been used to tow the line, by resigning and announcing the affair (if their is one), the leverage is gone. He can now if he chooses to, speak freely. Right now unless I am mistaken, he does not have to speak at the hearings, he is a private citizen. The interim CIA director would talk in his stead. Senate would need a subpoena to compel, his presence, and I can hear already the, on advise from my counsel, I plead the 5th, I don’t recall, I don’t remember, etc., if it gets that far.
This is worse than the Dafficit. It is corrupt from top to bottom and inside out. Pirates Ho!
Who will replace???
1. Weasely Clark
2. Colon Bowel
3. Eric Holder
4. Big Sis
I know, right? Kind of scared to see who he replaces their ‘moderate’ crew with. I have a sick feeling we will see weather underground brought back to life. Nothing can stop him now.
Me thinks it is time to become…Law Suit proof, IRS Proof, and Government Proof. Gonna get bumpy.
You forgot
5. Colonel Mustard
What difference does it make.
Why not just turn in a “Retirement” notice – and say you want to spend more time with your family?
AFFAIR??
Hah! That’s a real knee-slapper.
If Lucy were down here, she’d agree with me. An affair doesn’t mean squat. Right, Eleanor?
ELEANOR! Don’t look at me like that Eleanor…even if you don’t have any eyeballs.
OK, what’s the 411 on this dude?
He said he has named Michael Morell, the agency’s deputy director, to serve as acting director.
This is like Bernie Kerik stepping down because of the nanny. What a bunch of bull! The big “O” probably told him to use the affair excuse. HAHA
He will not be testifying at the hearing.
Why not? Can’t they subpoena him?
sent DH a text…he just called…he says
He got blackmailed…
The DCI is a lap-dog position, the sitting POTUS always tries to insert a DCI who he feels can ‘control’ the Langley gang. Petreaus served his purpose and our Dear Leader now believes he has a more loyal pooch in waiting. Petreaus was and is a politician, ALL flag officer don’t get to become flag officers by performing feats of daring-do and having accolades showered upon them by a grateful chain-of-command – they are supreme military politicians. Remember – flag officers’ appointments must be confirmed by the Senate. Call it a ‘night of the long knives’ if you will but those of us old enough to remember Jimmy Carter appointing Stansfield Turner to the DCI slot with the mission to hamstring the Company will smile.Turner went after the Company with a vengeance, gutting many departments and firing old-timers left and right. The Company rocked back on its heels for a short time but recovered in short order. was Four years ain’t enough time to re-engineer the Company, many have tried and many have been burned out. The DCI will get just as much cooperation from and insight into the Company as the entrenched hardcore will allow. POTUSs may come and go but entrenched bureaucracies survive them all.
RIP, Blonde Ghost
Reports are General Petreaus WANTS to give testimony “under oath” at next Tuesdays hearing. Fair enough. Truth has no agenda – Two questions:
“General, have you ever been coerced, pressured, or otherwise leveraged to provide any public or private statements, be they accurate or false, regarding the Benghazi CIA operation, to any entity foreign or domestic”?
“Given the potential compromise National Security, and the potential risk from your personal failings of conduct – With whom did you have an affair”?
Day late and a dollar short. Take that yellow flag down and run up the Jolly Roger. This mess calls for Pirates. And I am not kidding. Land Sharks accepted in Krewe. We will not make four years more of Obama no matter what. No matter what.
Maybe Obama will become the Amerikkan Yeltsin.
There is no way that obama has the courage to stand on top of a tank if he even had the large muscle coordination to be able to clamber up there. Unless I’m totally missing your point….
He presided over the collapse. He was Clinton’s buddy. Similar?
Nah, we have our Yeltsin–it’s Biden.
I’m not buying it either! Tooooo coincidental! Why not just cite “personal reasons” instead of broadcasting your affair to the world? Especially since there have been no reports of such ?
Why do I think things are about to get ugly? Real down and dirty ugly.
This level of propaganda and disinformation puts a huge question mark on the integrity of the election results as reported having any factual basis at all.
Ya think?
Yeah I thought about that possibility from the time of the “prophetic” open mike message to Putin saying there would be more flexibility after the election. That message was like a “tell” that the fix was in. I also thought Romney was preaching to the choir and not the congregation. I thnk about a lot of things and have questions too. I’m good like that.
These are no longer elections. It is a vote on who get’s the most loot. How can anyone not understand that? It is all about the loot.
This bizarre kabuki theater starts out like some “red pill journey” down the rabbit hole in that Machiavellian theme movie The Matrix ….where the lamestream media is the grand illusion manufacturer streaming nothing but waterfalls of green BS to the catatonic crowd of little Obamabot “batteries”. The scene then kind of morphs into another movie called Surrogates (Bruce Willis) ….and somebody needs to hit the kill switch. Where is the house of representatives and the courts ?
Alice in wonderland. The Rabbit Hole is the screen of the TV. Enter at your own risk.
Yep. They want his credibility to be undermined for when he does testify. However, since when do we refuse to believe a guy like that under oath because his Johnson got happy?
Either tenor your resignation soonest or I will have to regretfully announce your resignation for ____________ tomorrow.
- BHO
Dear Obama,
We the 47% hereby resign our position as beasts of burden. Effective immediately. Don’t call us and we won’t call you.
Sincerely,
People who work
and he was slated to testify on Benghazi next week…..
hahahahahahahahahahaha….this is SUCH TOTAL BS.
Maybe the obamazombies are stupid enough to believe this truckload of merde.
General Betray-us….maybe that’s the ONE thing they were right about.
LIARS!
Maybe we could bring home the troops and surround the Beltway?
Might want to check and see which way they aim the artillary.
True.
They gotta go.
btw when do we take down Tom Donilon?
I didn’t realize any of us were in a position to take down Tom Donilon. If someone is, I’d suggest tomorrow morning at 9:00.
Before coming here and reading all the research and analysis done by so many Treepers seeing a story about Petreus resigning over an affair would have meant nothing to me. When I saw it today my mind immediately knew something was up. I guess my critical thinking skills have improved by reading what you write over here.
This is critical thinking 101.
I really am fearful that this administration is as bad as it gets. If he DID NOT have an affair and this is all a ruse, what kind of threats had to be made to him to totally trash his entire career, family and reputation. I know the only thing that I would do that for…someone threatened the lives of my family and kids. And that is just straight up evil. Shutter.
Possibility 2 is that he indeed had an affair, which would mean he does have to resign because as CIA head he’d always be subject to blackmail ( a reason I find JFK and Bubba Clinton so reprehensible and the American public who says, “Who cares about a POTUS’ sex life soooooooooo stupid); however, as others have said, having had the affair, all he had to do was resign for “personal reasons.”
The wheels of this Administration are going to get very wobbly and fall off.
Your boy in the White House is also about to shut down oil-from-shale..
While we could use the resulting peace & quiet down here, the price of energy is about to shoot through the roof.
I feel sorry for Americans who are about to experience Hell without the need of dying first.
YHo! Bernstein the great reporter and buster of cover ups…is on MSNBC covering up for OBAMA! Be a Pirate.
He’s another snake in the grass. He and the formerly admired Woodward are trading on their fame for taking Nixon down….to take the country down.
Join the Krewe. Traditional methods are futile now. The country has already been taken down. We have to leave all the old way behind.
“When robbery is done in open daylight by sanction of the law, as it is done today, then any act of honor or restitution has to be hidden underground.”
Petraeus may have had an affair, and he was being blackmailed to cover the shameful inaction in Benghazi. But since he confessed the affair and quit ranks, he’s free to testify honestly. I’m pessimistic though.
When a country falls apart and there is evil leadership and proven leadership, a vote of no confidence should be allowed.
Looks to me like the old system has been corrupted. Nov. 6 was the proof. This can not be denied. It ain’t workin.

We just had one. C’mon. There is Treason enough to go around. How do you spell total, utter, corruption. Obama. Hang on it is gonna get bumpy.
http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/petraeus-resigns-cia-affair/2012/11/09/id/463573
Given his top secret clearance and the fact that Petraeus is married, the FBI continued to investigate and intercept Petraeus’ email exchanges with the woman. The emails include sexually explicit references to such items as sex under a desk.
Such a relationship is a breach of top secret security requirements and could have compromised Petraeus.
At some point after Petraeus was sworn in as CIA director on Sept. 6, 2011, the woman broke up with him. However, Petraeus continued to pursue her, sending her thousands of emails over the last several months, raising even more questions about his judgment.
The FBI is Eric Holder… so this just means that a “leverage was known yet unexploited and saved for use at a later date. So why the resignation “immediately AFTER” the election…. Why not last week? Last month? more questions…..
What is it about post election and prior to Senate Intelligence hearings that facilitated the timing?
Talk about a STENCH ?
The same reason everything will happen after the election. If it happened before the election. Nobody would get elected. How simple is that? Thus I became a Pirate.
“The decision was made to delay the resignation apparently to avoid potential embarrassment to the president before the election,” an FBI source says. “To leave him in such a sensitive position where he was vulnerable to potential blackmail for months compromised our security and is inexcusable.”
So the FBI was investigating Petraeus while he was in Afghanistan, but kept the info under wraps until they needed to pull a fast one. This also means that they knew about the affair when he was sworn in as Director of the CIA. And here I thought J. Edgar was dead.
Watching Fox… a little more detail is breaking, including the fact that this “affair” was subject to an FBI investigation. Which raises the questions… when did they know about this… who else knew (Obama) and when did they know. Steve Hayes makes the point that this could be a scandal in itself. If the Petraeus affair is some sort of urgent risk to security today… why wasn’t it a risk the day it became known about. That is…..did he continue in his job, despite being a “security risk” for political reasons?
Gasp! It could be a scandal! Oh No! Good Heavens! How could this be? Give me a break mon.
The point was:
ANOTHER and separate scandal.
The beauty of THIS one is it involves clandestine sex… so the damned MSM might actually follow it
Fox is a joke. Tell it like it is. It is not a scandal. It is….
I think it’s hilarious that the agencies and the governments and the individuals who endlessly mock the principles of Judeo-Christianity are suddenly so hot ‘n bothered about a little sexual immorality. I’ve got me a couple copies of the ten commandments that mention that stuff and I thought I was a stupid-Bible-clinger for sort of thinking that mattered???? Idiots. I think somebody needs to be indicted for secretly clinging to a Bible???????…………………….considering their point of view on murdering babies, on what basis do they care if the General is boinking the author? Seriously. On what basis? And if it was potential blackmail, that could be taken care of by just announcing the facts and going on with his career, no?
Well, shoot, it tells me all of our really smart investigative type people are really looking out for us….this means that whenever there’s an extra-marital affair they are gonna be right on it. Lucky for us, huh? So we just need to get our priorities straight.
Dead SEALs and Ambassadors murdered? Not a priority.
A general have a sexual affair with a staffer? Stop the presses.
I guess it also means that there are no other generals having a sexual affair with a staffer. BUT WAIT! Unless it’s a homosexual affair, in which case the entire force of the federal government will be brought down on their behalf as “don’t ask, don’t tell” is enforced.
Those who depend on deception to retain their power will always find an audience of those willing to be deceived. That being the case, since we aren’t willing to be deceived–I guess that’s why they’re gonna keep on not liking us, huh?
The Cracker is 100% right. The Crats must own this. Ray Graves for Speaker. We need the GOP Flop Play.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Uzu-wPFmc
Yeah right. The FBI are on to it when it’s clandestine bonking, but they missed all the documents lying around in Benghazi (during their exhaustive 3 hour crime scene investigation).
But more than that… they at least “uncovered” the bonking… but NOTHING was done about it. If it is reason to resign today… it was reason to resign back when it was uncovered.
This is worse than Global Warming. And a bigger hoax. Do not pay any attention to anything on TV.
Ahemmmm What was the reason given for Rommel’s…… errrr Retirement?
“Late in the war, Rommel was linked to the conspiracy to kill Adolf Hitler. Because Rommel was widely renowned, Hitler chose to eliminate him quietly. Rommel agreed to commit suicide by taking a cyanide pill, in return for assurances his family would be spared.”
Just change the names and the type of pill.
The whole Obama facade may crumble right before our eyes and the true demon sighted or else we shall see a man who is completely out of his depth and comfort zone being used as a prop by persons unknown.
The folks around here are talking and talking about lies and threats more people know about Benghazi than you would expect.
Boner will save him
Can you share what you are referring as the folks “around here”….maybe I’ve missed something about your pedigree….no need to if you don’t care to.
I think it means that even we. As skeptical as we are. Only see the tip of the iceberg. Or something like that. Maybe.
Ah–ok!
One little, two little, three little generals…
If I were Petreaus, I’d be very careful from here on out. They swore him in as Director knowing about the affair. I wonder what he had to agree to do for them. I hope they are not planning his suicide because Hillary knows a guy, who knows a guy…
http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7400733n
Is it normal for the FBI to investigate the CIA?
Perfect. And Obama investigates…Obama. And the Senate investigates…The Senate. And the Bank Robber investigates…The Bank Robber. It is like Al Capone investigating…Al Capone. He who investigates himself is sure to be innocent.
Meanwhile back at the media they report on the progress of the investigations.
Do you get the drift?
Here is another photo of her.
At least she has a nice rack.
Gov Palin is hotter.
All jokes aside, why was Petreas appointed to head the CIA when this was already known?
All of the plausible answers are terrifying.
The WSJ full article says Acting CIA Director Michael Morell is the favorite to become director. Others in line could be Defense intelligence chief Michael Vickers or Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Michael Rogers (R, Mich). Morell is longtime CIA and will probably give the Congressional committee next week what the Obama administration wants (IMO). For what it’s worth which is probably not much.
Interior just closed 1.6 million acres of BLM land in the West to oil shale drilling. Obama’s going full throttle for improverishment of the US. I can’t say what I really think about all of this in public.
I vote they use former Senator Scott Brown !
Michael Moore.
So-called conserved bloggers/commenters/pundits keep using the word “curious”…..gee, it sure is curious that he can’t testify? even though he’s resigned, why can’t he testify?
Please don’t tell me they are all that clueless. Moving at that lightning-speed of comprehension, sometimes in April of 2015, maybe they’ll figure it out. Sure wouldn’t want them to hurt themselves by hurrying now.
I give up.
Proof again that being informed is of absolutely no use in this mess.
This is what I hope.
Obama was holding this over his head.
He said screw that, told his wife and resigned.
He said he will not testify knowing that he will be subpoenaed and will have to tell the truth.
Then he can screw the prez.
HI Dizzy – He wants to get his FULL RETIREMENT. Once he has that – he is a private citizen – and can testify as to what he knows before Congress. I think they were trying to “shut him up” – so he resigned.
The Gen. had retired on Aug. 31st from the Army. He ceded his command on July 18th to Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John R. Allen, who was promoted to full General and in 2013 has been appointed NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, to take office in early 2013, pending confirmation by the United States Senate.
He could be recalled even though, the affair took place while he was in the military, but he served more than 30 yrs in the Army and just turned 60, but his retirement grade cannot be reduced, only lower grade retirement pay.
I wonder if this is the first book she ever wrote?
Yess, it started out as a PhD dissertation and she turned it into a book.
Laughter amongst the Mullahs in their smelly caves as they watch the suddenly ultra moral administration chastise a sinner.
Oops, the mistress is a Major in the US Army Reserves. Probably won’t be for long, she missed the class on “conduct unbecoming”.

Here’s another paragraph:
Took our election by hook and crook with the help of an overwhelming number of the something for nothing army votes!
Not one of the smart ones, but found he has a trip overseas starting on the 17th:

Obama is a bungling incompetent – in military matters -sorry to say. Now no one wants to admit it.
READ THE LATEST UPDATE AND WATCH THE VIDEO !!!
The excuse that a because he had top secret clearance, is justification alone, is BS. They knew of the affair since spring, but waited until after the Election. This supposedly happened while in Afghanistan, why was the FBI investigating him to begin with. Then even after the information is known, they still appointed him to direct the CIA, something is screwy here, again.
You do not fire a General “INSTANTLY”. There has to be a damn good reason to do it – not an “affair”. “Obama” calls David in and says, “I am not happy with your performance”. Please write a “notification of resignation to my office”. You will have two weeks for that to take effect. There is no need for any “public” announcement, other that, “…you want to spend more time with your family”. Something DRASTIC happened – and it was not the “affair”.
I somehow thought it odd that Petraeus was demoted by Obama from CENTCOM Commander to Commander of U.S. Forces Afghanistan (after Petraeus subordinate McChrystal was fired by Obama), the leapfrogged by Obama to Director of the CIA.
Thought at the time that Petraeus should have resigned rather than take the demotion, unless something was over him.
Anyway, grab wikis’s bios while they are still up.
Ah, even wiki says:
On June 23, 2010, President Barack Obama nominated Petraeus to succeed General Stanley McChrystal as commanding general of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, TECHNICALLY A STEP DOWN FROM HIS POSITION AS COMMANDER OF UNITED STATES CENTRAL COMMAND, which oversees the military efforts in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia, the Arabian Peninsula, and Egypt….
If you recall, McChrystal got fired because he and his subordinates made fun of Biden and Obama drones in front of a Rolling Stone reporter.
Apparenty she is being investigated for trying to access Petraeus’ emails and other documents.
So it only took the Obama administration a couple months to locate someone to fall on their sword for Obama? Fishy, very fishy.
We need video from the first, and 2nd segment of AC360 and From first segment of Piers Morgan show from CNN tonight. There is one more shot at the overnight re-run of both shows…
Can anyone assist. I have no recording capability…. I cannot explain why – too lenghty – but I promise you there is a STUPENOUS reason.
The first segment of Piers and the first two of AC 360 – urgently needed.
Just like the damaging Trayvon interview with Pam Bondi – CNN will not post it….. they will censor what just took place on live TV – they will also delete from their Transcript page and it is too difficult to get them to admit and correct. Last time it took me 4 months. If anyone can capture the vids let me know asap.
AGAIN – We only have one more chance. Overnight during the re-run of the 9pm and 10 pm shows that aired live. After tonight they will be dispatched down the rabbit hole forever.
Can anyone assist.?
I have no way of getting it, but notice that Piers is on again at 3 am eastern. Anderson Cooper is on again at 4:00 am (On right now too).
What…Did the Cat come out of the bag on tv???
THIS is already uploaded to YT…. covers more of the show than you posted.
I downloaded it from YT.. so have it even if it vanishes from YT…
Oh please. He was banging a reporter. Probly an Obama plant. Covered up til after the election. Hey mon! get a brain. Don’t believe anything on tv.
Isn’t there some lootin’ and plunderin’ you need to be getting on with?
I am answering the request from SDC… chill out…K?
Knock it off Howie….. it ain’t about Obama – It’s about the media manipulation. Each time I am able to show the embedded characters and operatives within the media – I will. And each time a few more eyes open.
People, most people, believe they are watching “news” without recognizing the “scripted” players within the stories that are specifically assigned roles to define, deflect, and in some cases outright intentionally obfuscate. They are recruited, paid, trained and embedded to do this.
I have been on Susan Kelly’s tail for several months….. I have outlined her specific role in the agenda creation and issue avoidance. However, on this one she is darn near outing herself…… This is not about Obama. It’s bigger.
Sic em I knock it off.
BFD! Phooey too late ignore this noise.
Howie, relax! Sundance asked for this.
Hey OK, but this don’t matter unless Obama gets impeached. To me it is just a joke delayed like everything else til after the election…irrelevant. I don’t care. He was a Combt guy in the first place. Not a spook. Big diff. Plus he did not come clean before the vote. Screw him!
This is a forum, ragnar. We all get to speak, and you don’t need to moderate, okay?
And besides that I never liked his stupid counter insurgency plan anyway. I like carpet bombing enemy’s better. F the “civilians.”
This is on YT as well (FWIW)
Who cares. The election is over. Phooey. I don’t give a Hoot. The will not impeach Obama. This is a total waste of time. Phooey.
If all else fails….. you can point a webcam or computer at a TV and record things
I was gonna do that, but “CNN INTERNATIONAL” like to protect us foreigners from messy US news, especially politics, by showing us “World Report” and other UN inspired fluff instead of repeats of US prime time shows….. I don’t get to see AC360 tonight.
Great minds rumpole…..
If your gonna do that… please don’t commentate like Trent …. K?
Huh??? I just meant we both happened on the same source for the video SD wanted.
Oh. I thought you liked my idea of web-camming the TV…. I think that is what tent does to upload his videos of GZ hearings,… with his inane chatter in the background.
No matter…. I wanted an excuse to post the cheeky kitteh
tent = Trent
OHHHhhhhh…..
It’s just late….and the idea of Mr. Trent (possibly with tent) operating a web cam? Aarrgghh….now I’ll never get to sleep! 
How to stop a nightmare
*Sigh*….memories.
Good grief, that’s cute…..
That’s kind of a wicked scary lookin’ little kitty-cat.
Thanks Puddy for the Piers Update !!
You iz totally welcome!

So, she is married with two young children. I doubt that she would have ever caused a fuss.
And so what? Election over. This is noise. Phooey.
Calm down, Howie. Maybe you need some sleep.
————————————
We could send him to his room for a bit–maybe a nap would help??
I think Patraeus would have to turn in his man card if he didn’t have an affair with Broadwell. Pretty, smart, West Pt grad, and apparently a big fan of him. Walking away from something like that on a daily basis is asking an awful lot from somebody serving away from home.
OTOH at some level you would know that its going to play hell with your life once it becomes known.
Apparently, the husband knew what was happening. Read the second letter: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/15/magazine/a-message-from-beyond.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0

“Did Paula Broadwell’s Cuckolded Husband Write a Letter to Chuck Klosterman in the
The New York Times?”
“Did Chuck Klosterman’s wisdom trigger a series of events that would eventually lead to the resignation of the director of the CIA?”
