What are the chances that anything from the closed hearing makes its way to the public?

More hysterical speculation – what a surprise. “Not all the facts fit neatly, therefore my wild eyed theory just HAS TO BE CORRECT” – Freelancer

More truther innuendo re the Foster case which never produced evidence he was murdered. Did she do something squirrely with the files? Yes, but you have nothing other than conjecture that she had someone murdered.

Right. Vince Foster was shot in the back of the head, and there wasn’t enough blood where his body was found to account for the bloodloss of his wound. None of the footprints found anywhere in the park were from his shoes. Clearly a suicide.

I will be your huckleberry, and the name you want is Mattis, why you ask, because he only cares about winning not who he works for, in other words, America winning, he may be the second coming of Patton, time will tell!

Yep, the Mad Dog is the Joe Arpaio of our proud military. Unleash him and stay out of his way, and we win wherever his AOR is. Should have been named SAC ahead of Petraus or anyone else, but he’s considered too volatile politically. Which is exactly why he’s the right man for the job. You don’t fight a way half-way. You disable the enemy’s ability to fight as quickly and thoroughly as possible. We haven’t done that in far too long.

He will be testifying in front of the House on Friday, per Fox.

Anyone know if that will be televised?

By all accounts David Petraeus was and is a man of honor and integrity, now disgraced and broken by a familiar indiscretion born of human frailty. Looking to Congress for brave men and women who can unravel this web of deceit, a web perhaps woven of high crimes and misdemeanors, is usually a fool’s errand. But Congress is all we’ve got.

No honorable man would let Americans die when help could have been delivered in time.

We need to stop this BS once and for all. There is absolutely nothing honorable about Petraus’ (non) actions. Fomr letting Americans die to then openly lying to Congress.

THERE IS NO HONOR IN LETTING AMERICANS DIE.

Tomorrow per Fox, do not know if it’s open or closed hearings.

The one in the senate is a closed hearing.

When these men reach the rank of general, they are de facto politicians.

Nothing to see here. Lies and damned lies. Move along.

“You must be at least THIS tall to tell tall tales about Benghazi…”

Tomorrow per Fox, do not know if it’s open or closed hearings.

JPeterman on November 14, 2012 at 4:28 PM

Do you know if it will be sworn testimony?

What a freaking mess…..
The General needs to go before congress and spill the whole truth, no matter the consequences.

The truth, or something that can be spun back to harm Obama?

Either way, I wouldn’t expect much. It’s the CIA. Regardless of who is president the activities they engage in overseas are 99.9% of the time a secret. If its not also as equally obvious that the CIA was doing SOMETHING mission wise at that consulate, as it is obvious that it wasn’t just about a movie, then I don’t think you’re being honest.

We’re likely to find out very little, I think. But that doesn’t mean it’s a big America destroying conspiracy. It’s the CIA. And conservatives aren’t victims.

We’re asked to believe that the FBI investigation into the general’s affair, with its enormous national-security implications, was conducted over a period of weeks and the president was never told anything about it until Mr. Petraeus submitted his resignation. A half-dozen government agencies, in this fanciful telling of the story, treated the president as if he were a virgin in a bordello, all to preserve his “innocence” in the final weeks of a bitter election campaign. If the president didn’t know what was going on upstairs, this is incompetence bordering on criminal malfeasance.

With no facts, we have only the tangled web of lies in the changing official stories. Was the general intimidated — if not blackmailed — into joining the president, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice in their ridiculous story, told over and over, that the Benghazi attack was set off by demonstrations protesting that obscure video? Mr. Petraeus supported the president’s story about the video in testimony to Congress shortly after the assassination of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens. He surely knew better.

By all accounts David Petraeus was and is a man of honor and integrity, now disgraced and broken by a familiar indiscretion born of human frailty.
