In extremely “fascinating” timing, Petraeus resigned today, a few days after the election, over an extramartial affair. Now I’m sure that the affair happened, but I rather doubt that at this juncture, where extramarital affairs are normal even in the White House and the Marines are expected to embrace gay marriage, that this was really about the affair.
If Petraeus had stood by Obama over Benghazigate all the way, and taken the fall, then the affair would not have mattered. This is Valerie Jarrett delivering a first dose of payback and neutering the threat of a Petraeus presidential run against Obama in 2016.
The CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement: “No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”
Instead of Petraeus falling on his sword at the CIA, Panetta and Dempsey were forced to do it. And Petraeus has been forced out anyway.
This is Godfather politics, but then again this isn’t America or Washington DC anymore. It’s Chicago boss politics. And with foreign wars off the table and national security a dead issue, the borrowed credibility that Petraeus gave to the Troika of Obama, Jarrett and Clinton is no longer needed anymore.
The left took a while to get Petraeus since their “General Betrayus” days, but they got him in the end.
valerie jarett is a goon, loser, misnomer and incapable of harming a fly. pfft…
She's one of the most powerful women in Washington… Get a clue.
Perhaps she is powerful to a degree but she lives in a house of cards. Her power is an illusion to those immediately around her. The right pressure applied to the right place will result in a collapse to that house of cards. She is more vulnerable that she knows and Obama will let her go to further his own agenda.
This is Valerie Jarrett delivering a first dose of payback and neutering the threat of a Petraeus presidential run against Obama in 2016. Did Obama sign an executive order nullifying the 22nd amendment? Do you reallr think Obama will run for a third term?
She is a goon, but she IS deadly – http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/11/02/valerie-jarre…
And while this is part of her payback it will backfire – and not on the General. They are attempting to plug up the dam, but it is too late. A deluge is coming, and it will bury Jarrett and gang!
Take it to the bank!

Obama has zips up the back of his pants for the Jarret hand puppet.
She's got her hand further up him than Jim Hensen ever managed with Kermit.
Good riddance. Petraeus was a loser anyway. He blamed Israel for the violence in the Middle East. And Obama can't run again in 2016.
Uh.. I would bet my paycheck he makes a push to do away with the two term limit!
You are right Frankie, I just posted about the video I saw on the 7th about him doing that, he will be just like the Dictators in the middle east that make a career or staying in Power until he gets taken down by the people or the Military arrest him for crimes to American and to us.
Obama is going to try to change the 2 term for 3 or 4 terms like in the middle east countries and if that does not work because he knows we may fight him, he will have Michelle his wife run so he can continue to destroy America, that was in a video that came out few days ago, right after the elections. We most be with our eye and ears very alert to what is going to happen with the Dictator. He is not going to leave unless the Military take him and arrest him for Treason.
Want to bet?
Kill the first five as you take over the city and the rest will follow here is #1
My take is that the affair was being used by Obama & his team to try & silence Petraeus on Benghazi. He did the right thing and took it public to remove the blackmail threat. He then resigned his office so that he can now speak freely.
Let's just wait to see
Petraeus dies from unforseen heart attack in ……4….3….2…..
That is my thoughts too or suicide. Remember the guy that was going to testify against the Clintons who supposedly killed himself in the park?
Right right , because as CIA director he would not have signed any non disclosure agreements, you know elaborating on subjects deemed "Top Secret" by I don't know… "dear leader" could land you in prison. Dear leader would never do that though, right , declare something off limits… right, like "Fast and Furious" or I don't know like Benghazi.
Its a different country now , Went to bed in Tuesday in America woke up in Venezuela.
"I once said, "We will bury you," and I got into trouble with it. Of course we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you."
Nikita Khrushchev
Lets hop he speaks soon
You pegged it. I said the same thing.
White House announced he won't be testifying. No one sent them the memo that Washington doesn't work the same as Chicago mafioso strong arming.
either he actually is going to testify, or they're holding something else over his head (or bought him off).
I truly hope you are right but considering the corruption at the WH, I seriously doubt Petraeus will tell all. He should but Obamas henchmen will do someting to prevent the truth ever coming to light. We will never learn how these murders happened and who is responsible. Welcome to the "new regime".
Maybe we'll find out the truth about Benghazi and Jerret and the rest of those criminals will all be gone .
Even if they all took a day and hosted a totally candid and forthright confessional news conference of Fast & Furious I&II covering Mexico and Lybia/Turkey/Syria nothing would ever be done about it.
Nothing!
The anti-government rebels of the past are all in with this president and anything goes as long as their "core issues" are financed.
This voting bloc has long since proved that they couldn't care less about honour in a leader if it's their candidate. They won't hold the administration responsible because they don't hold themselves responsible.
"This is Valerie Jarrett delivering a first dose of payback and neutering the threat of a Petraeus presidential run against Obama in 2016."
A Petraeus Presidential run against Obama in 2016? Very curious how Obama would run for President in 2016. Explain that one to me, please.
her 1st name is Michelle
Venezuela Chavez
You don't have a clue he will just Chaves us. You know that when they have a military funeral when handing off the folded flag. Instead telling the family the president sends his condolences it is now from the Secretary of State.
Petraeus was obviously shafted by the Obama Administration but come on people! If the guy couldn't keep his extramarital affair secret he should have been CIA Director in the first place! No wonder Julian Assange got his hands on classified intelligence if Petraeus can't bang some chick without the whole world finding out! LOL
If Petraeus simply answers the subpoena from Congress, he will testify anyway. That will make him a huge hero to the nation, endearing himself to tens of millions and making him all the more electable in 2016. If that was Jarrett's strategy, she's a bigger moron than I thought.
Do you really think he will be kept alive to testify ? Just like Breitbart
Yeah that's almost a big a deal as our cigar diddling,stain leaving,chubby girl humping president who fornicate all over the WH and then lied about it. Good thing he was a honorable man and resigned .
Almost everyone that gets near Barry ends up in prison,squished by the progressive bus or dead.
I don't think it will even take a 2016 election. Just another executive order because the U.S. will be in such chaos that he'll just deem it so "for the good of the nation" or something.
Yeah, they got Petraeus. They used, abused and tossed him by the wayside like a blow-up doll with a puncture. He was expendable the entire time but he's not exactly a Class A dummy.
Anyone notice Hilliary's new head cover? Glad she's resigning too, but heard it was so she could run in 2016. I hope nobody forgets about her and her "cover ups".
eh, I'm thinking First Woman President if the GOP doesn't get their act together.
No one was "forced " into any action. They willingly sold their souls.
OK guys…I've been thinking about this. You heard it here first: I believe Petraeus will either commit suicide or somehow have an "accident" before he EVER testifies. Call me crazy…something is not kosher here.
On the other hand, it would be GREAT of Petraeus decided to throw Obama under the bus!!!
Petraeus destroyed his ability to run for President long ago in Afghanistan: http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ErzxOz3Dzv8

Heard Valerie Jarrett is de facto president as she has Barry always out playing golf or traveling. Who is she? Does anyone know?
Discover the Networks, up there on the right hand side of this page, has an article on Jarret, makes worrying reading.
Wake Up people ! We The People have a fraud and usurper sitting in the White House going by the name of barack hussein obama using a stolen social security number , forged birth certificate and forged selective service registration card to prove he is a legal sitting US President . We The People must demand US Constitutional law be enforced and the fraud and usurper barack hussein obama removed from office under Article 2 Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution .
I agree but you have to get by the Senate.

Yes and his birth name was Barry. Then he changed it to Barrack Hussein Obama? What would you think his religious beliefs.

" neutering the threat of a Petraeus presidential run against Obama in 2016."
Have you not heard of Presidential term limited to 2 ?
Have you not heard that the rule of law is gone?
that Petraeus has no security clearance now, because he quit the CIA. Since most material pertinent to the Benghazi fiasco is classified, even if he is subpoenaed, his testimony will be drastically limited.
Not true, he can be questioned in secret by the intelligence oversight committees and they can require him to testify about secret information as they have the clearance to hear it.
The President cannot run in 2016 he's term limited. Now that's not to say he won't.
Idiots are in full effect on here, I see…Gotta go!
We The People have a fraud and usurper sitting in the White House going by the name of barack hussein obama using a stolen social security number , forged birth certificate and forged selective service registration card to prove he is a legal sitting US President .
