1947 DAYS OF OUR LIVES or
General[s] hospital?
Okay- lots to cover today.
First- the growing fallout over
the Benghazi debacle has now entered a phase that can only be described as
having a sort of soap opera aura.
Most of you know that right
before the election some radical militants attacked our counsel in Benghazi
[Libya] and killed 4 Americans.
One of them being our new
ambassador to the region.
Now- within days of the incident-
Susan Rice- our U.N. ambassador- went on the Sunday morning talk shows and said
the attack was a response to an anti Muslim video.
In fact there were multiple protests
that same day- Sept. 11th- around the Arab world.
So- Rice sort of lumped the
killing of our ambassador with the video protests.
Now- what we now know is this;
That the Libyan attackers were not
simply part of a protest that went out of control- but were one of the many militia
groups who operate in Libya.
The counsel [embassy type
compound] at Benghazi was under a real threat.
It was bombed before- and the Red
Cross- as well as the British pulled their people out of there because the
place was a sitting duck target for these radical militia guys.
We also now know that our guys at
the embassy warned about the growing threat.
They made requests for greater
security- which were denied.
And that by all accounts- the
administration failed in the sense of not providing adequate protection for our
guys.
Now- those defending the
president say it would not have mattered if there was more protection- that a
military style assault would have been effective either way.
Then let’s pull the guys out.
Some say if we had around 10
Marines- with automatic weapons- that in itself would have been enough.
Either way- the facts are that
the British and the Red Cross pulled their people out.
Why didn’t we?
Some think that Susan Rice and
others purposefully made it look like the attack was part of the video protests
because that would have gone along with the political line that Obama has Al Qaeda
‘on the run’.
Enter David Petraeus.
Petraeus was the guy in charge of
the CIA- a former general who some say had great success in Iraq and later
Afghanistan [he was the guy who did the Surge strategy- more troops to finish
the job type thing].
Okay- as head of the CIA he
actually went to Benghazi and interviewed his men.
Yeah- we have CIA guy’s right
there near the compound.
What did he find out?
Was there more going on than
meets the eye?
Petraeus got back and testified
before congress and gave the same story as Susan Rice- that the attack was
simply a protest that went out of control.
Okay- here comes the soap opera
part.
A few months ago- some lady in
Tampa Fla. was receiving what she felt were threatening emails.
The lady- Jill Kelley- was involved
with the local military there in Tampa- and by chance knew Petraeus and the top
generals [Allen being one].
The U.S. has a military post in
Tampa where the top generals and their families go.
So- she had a friend at the FBI
[because she was also sort of a civilian FBI cadet- you know- these programs
where anyone can get into as a civilian. We used to do these things at the Fire
Dept. sometimes the people that get involved are wannabe’s- that is they sort
of fantasize about being the real deal].
So- Kelly tells her FBI friend about
the emails.
And he starts the ball rolling to
find out who is sending the emails.
The emails basically said to
leave Petraeus alone.
Hum?
Lo and behold- the emails were
sent by Paula Broadwell- a lady who wrote a biography about General Petraeus
[whew- this gets tiring!]
The story breaks that Broadwell
was a lover of the general [in more ways than one]- she sent the emails as sort
of a jealous lover type thing. She knew Jill was friendly with Petraeus and was
telling her to leave ‘her man alone’.
And when the story hits the fan- Petraeus
resigns abruptly- right after the president gets re-elected.
Now- no one in congress [and
supposedly the president] knew anything about the affair until after the
election.
The problem is Petraeus was
supposed to testify about the Benghazi attack in a few days.
Some on the right think his
abrupt resignation has to do with this.
Broadwell's father has said ‘you
aint seen nothing yet’ [or something to that effect] - indicating that this
whole scandal has much more to it than meets the eye. [More than this? I don’t
know if I can take much more?]
So- we have one general gone- the
other general –Allen- a top military guy- who was up for another position-
which now looks like it’s on hold because during the investigation over the
emails [you know- the Tampa socialite].
It was discovered that Gen Allen
sent a load of emails to Kelley- some reported that they were ‘sexual’ in
nature.
Nah- no way- our generals?
Do they even know the word?
Okay- all the reporting on the
women- that is the stuff about their lives- showing the picture of the mistress
right next to the wife of Petraeus [Holly] all of this makes for ratings- but
really has no value.
Last night CNN’s Cooper was reporting
on the credit card debt of Jill Kelley and her doctor husband.
He went into their mortgage problems
[not paying their mortgage on their million and a half home].
That they started a cancer
charity- and things look fishy with the charity.
Peirce Morgan reporting that she
is a sort of flirt with all the military guys.
One report said she was a ‘lune’
[loony].
None of this is relevant- nor
should the media be getting into the ladies credit card debt.
She is not a public [elected]
figure- leave all that stuff out.
The real news is the fact that
our guys were killed.
Did the administration and his
team purposefully make the Libyan attack look like a video protest gone awry?
Did they mislead the public about
the deaths of our people because of political reasons?
If so- then that’s a huge
scandal.
Now- in defense of their side
[Obama].
We did have Intel that said the
many protests that took place on that day were in fact over the stupid video.
That’s true.
And the Libyan attackers did use
the same day to attack and kill our guys.
One of the statements that Rice
and others made was that the militia guys took advantage of the protests and
did a more organized attack.
Looking at all this stuff- that
statement is not really that off.
So- yes- the attacks were not simply
a protest gone awry.
But- it is more than likely that
the attackers used the other 9-11 protests as an opportunity to attack.
One more thing- after it became
known that Paula Broadwell was having an affair with Petraeus- the news outlets
of course went thru all their old video’s of her.
She has appeared numerous times
on various shows.
One recent clip had her saying
that our embassy grounds in Libya also was holding some Libyan militia guys as
prisoners.
She said this was inside
knowledge [then why say it in a speech?]
And she hinted that might be the
real reason for the attack [some think she might have had inside knowledge
because of the affair].
Now- by law- the CIA is not allowed
to hold prisoners.
Petraeus was the top CIA guy- who
just got back from Libya doing his own personal investigation.
Then he quits.
Yeah- some see something fishy
with the whole thing.
I have no idea which side is
right [maybe there is some truth on both sides?]
But we do need to get to the facts.
We don’t need to know what Jill Kelley’s
credit debt is.
Or why the FBI guy in Tampa sent
her a shitless pic of himself [and was thus removed from the case].
Well- just be reassured- after
all- these are the guys that are running the country- they are the protectors
of the flame.
Yeah- Obama kept saying ‘we have them
on the run now’.
I just wonder who ‘them’ is.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] -
I have posted lots.
