Petraeus Set Up To Take Benghazi Responsibility

The David Petraeus affair raises a lot of questions that perhaps aren’t being asked or answered. As you’re likely aware, Petraeus was the CIA head until last Friday when he suddenly resigned citing an extramarital affair. The sudden resignation less than a week before he was to testify on the Benghazi matter has left more than a few people scratching their heads. The affair has been going on for quite some time, though the FBI alleges they suddenly found out about it recently after Petraeus’ whore Paula Broadwell harassed a third party who contacted the FBI. It doesn’t quite all add up.

If you or I contacted the FBI alleging that someone was sending us harassing emails the FBI would politely ignore us or send us off to a local police agency. So when the FBI started investigating this matter of harassing emails they clearly had an idea who the harasser was. They knew she was having an affair with Petraeus, otherwise they wouldn’t have bothered investigating the matter. The official line is that the FBI just happened to stumble upon the affair, this just isn’t believable. The FBI almost certainly knew who Broadwell was, otherwise they wouldn’t have bothered investigating a few harassing emails.

So the question becomes when did the FBI know about the affair? For the time being we don’t know the answer to the question. Supposedly Obama was shocked to discover the affair along with the Petraeus resignation last week. That is as unbelievable as the FBI stumbling upon the affair via a harassment complaint. Obama has likely known about the affair for awhile, for political reasons the Obama administrations kept the affair under wraps. It simply makes no sense that the CIA director could have an affair undetected by anyone for over a year. We’re not talking about the Secretary of Education, the CIA director is perhaps one of the most important posts in the government. There’s no doubt Petraeus went through an extensive background check and the affair was likely discovered at that time. If it wasn’t everyone at the FBI and CIA should be fired.

So why would the Obama administration want a CIA director who is having an affair to keep his post? Keep in mind the left hates David Petraeus because of his association with the Bush administration. However, Petraeus made the Obama administration look bipartisan. Obama likely viewed Petraeus as a necessary evil to help him get re-elected. Now that the election is over, Petraeus was expendable. Even better, there is a major scandal brewing which involves the CIA. Petraeus has become the scapegoat for Benghazi and now that he’s been shown to have an affair he’s lost credibility. Interestingly Bill Clinton never lost credibility for his affairs.

Just two weeks ago Petraeus was in Libya personally investigating the Benghazi matter. He’s being set up by the administration which knew he was going to be exposed as having an affair after the election. They’re setting him up to take the fall on Benghazi. My guess is that the CIA was involved in all sorts of underhanded, illegal things in Libya and the administration knows it. They had the goods on Petraeus, they knew he was committing adultery. The administration is going to pin the blame for the Benghazi disaster on Petraeus even though the administration knew for months that Petraeus was committing adultery. Not only that, it was Obama who failed to protect Ambassador Stevens with drone strikes. But we aren’t to pay attention to that because Petraeus is an adulterer.

There’s more here than meets the eye and the media won’t ask the question or put any of the facts together. Something else is going on here, my guess is that there is a major administration and CIA scandal brewing in the background which necessitated Obama using Petraeus’ adultery against him. Now we’re all focused on childish email harassing and Petraeus’ poor wife who is rightfully hurt and outraged. Meanwhile something else is really going on and no one is paying any attention to it.

Obama Silent While World Burns Around Him

The world is blowing up in our faces and we have near silence coming from Washington. Last week Iran claims to have arrested 12 undercover CIA agents who were allegedly targeting Iran’s nuclear program. Since Iran’s claim, we’ve heard nothing from the CIA or the Obama administration. In fact the mainstream press has been nearly silent on the matter. It’s entirely possible that Iran is lying but if they’re lying why would the mainstream press remain so silent?

Over the weekend NATO fired on Pakistan killing around 24 soldiers. Pakistan is ablaze with anti-American protests as a result. The mainstream press has largely ignored all of this and the Obama administration has more or less remained silent. In Egypt there have been massive protests staged by the Muslim Brotherhood. The Brotherhood declared recently that “one day we shall kill all the Jews.” Remember of course that the Obama administration supported the Muslim Brotherhood in both Egypt and Libya.  Earlier today saboteurs blew up a gas pipeline from Egypt to Israel. Silence all the way around from the Obama administration.

The Obama administration will no doubt claim that it was Thanksgiving weekend and that’s why the President didn’t issue a public response to any of these events. No doubt many Americans were to busy watching football and eating turkey to care about Iran’s claim that they nabbed 12 undercover CIA agents. But the President isn’t an ordinary American and contrary to popular belief the rest of the world doesn’t stop when we have a holiday. The President has no business issuing statements on the end of the NBA lockout when CIA agents are arrested in Iran, NATO is bombing Pakistan and the Muslim Brotherhood is rioting in Egypt, threatening to kill Jews and blowing up pipelines to Israel.

Obama has remained largely silent throughout the month of November. It served him well as his poll numbers climbed several points before he foolishly called the American people lazy at which point his numbers sharply declined. Last week his poll numbers rose a couple points, largely due to a yearly holiday good cheer bump.

The President cannot however remain silent while world events are blowing up all over the world. Particularly world events that Obama has direct involvement in. The European Union, the Euro in particular, are on the brink of collapse. That doesn’t require an American response. But when the President actively supports the overthrow of a ruler, as he did in Egypt, when our agents are arrested and when an organization that we more or less control is bombing countries we are not at war with, it requires a response from the President. So far we haven’t had any. Worse, the media is ignoring these dangerous situations.

The world is a dangerous place right now. We have a President who, when he isn’t choosing the wrong side to support, doesn’t do much of anything. Obama passively watches as world events put the United States in a more dangerous position. It is outrageous that a dozen CIA agents were arrested in Iran. Obama should be ashamed that this happened under his watch. It requires a response from the President. Instead we get nothing but a media blackout. Why? Why exactly is the media protecting the President from this horrible news?

The world is dangerous and Obama doesn’t seem to care. We have a President who we can count on to do nothing over the course of the next year to protect American interests abroad. Vladimir Putin is threatening to return the world to the Cold War, Obama you can bet will do and say nothing. The choice we have next year isn’t just going to come down to economics. Foreign policy is just as important. Our choice is going to come down to a President who hasn’t protected our interests abroad, has sided with the wrong people repeatedly and who doesn’t seem to care when our nation is undermined against a Republican candidate who will protect our interests abroad and not side with terrorists like the Muslim Brotherhood.
