CIA Director David Petraeus stepping down...
...supposedly due to extramarital affair.
Carrie Mathison is such a minx! ------------------------- 3:02PM EST November 9. 2012 - NBC reported Friday that CIA director David Petraeus has resigned from the CIA, citing an extramarital affair. NBC's Andrea Mitchell said the resignation was submitted in a letter dated Friday and was accepted by the White House. In a letter, Petraeus noted that he had been married for 37 years and had exercised "extremely poor judgment' in conducting an extramarital affair. Petraues took over as head of the CIA in September of 2011 following his tour as head of allied forces in Afghanistan. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...n-nbc/1695271/ |

WTF? Are there people out there saying that Obama killed those people in Libya on purpose?

As more information comes to the light about the Obama administration's Benghazi cover-up, a former Navy SEAL officer who once took a military detachment to Libya suggests President Barack Obama was either AWOL -- essentially an "empty chair" -- or deliberately denied Americans under siege in Benghazi the aid they needed by not authorizing "cross-border authority," without which rescue operations could have taken place. -snip- General David Petraeus has said the stand-down order did not come from the CIA and, as Bracken notes, "only the national security team at the White House" outranks the CIA. "That means President Obama, and nobody else," Bracken writes. "Petraeus is naming Obama without naming him." There is more in the story above. As I understand it the chain of command is POTUS-DNI-Patreus. The DNI could be likened to the SecDef when talking about the Navy and Army. If someone has a clearer understanding of the chain of command please feel free to chime in. |

You're confusing "negligence" with "intent".

I know lots of conservatives were upset that the right wing media lied to them about the polls being skewed in Obama's favor. Has anyone started to realize that most of the other nonsense in the right wing media is bullshit propaganda as well? I'm looking at you listopencil. This stuff on Obama cackling with glee as Americans are killed in Benghazi, and then covering it up, is ridiculous to people outside the conservative news bubble.

Only when forced to do so. Google General Sinclair s comments on taking others down.
