Is This Why CIA Chief Really Resigned? - Gun Running To Jihadists Could Dwarf 'Fast & Furious' Scandal

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Aaron Klein / WND

JERUSALEM – The speculation surrounding the sudden resignation of CIA Chief General David Petraeus is focusing in large part on his role in an alleged cover-up of the attacks against the U.S. mission in Benghazi this past September.

Perhaps overlooked is the CIA’s role in purportedly using the Benghazi mission to coordinate U.S. aid to Syrian opposition groups and information those same insurgents include jihadists openly acting under the al-Qaida umbrella.

 

One week before he was slated to testify before Congress on the Benghazi debacle, Petraeus on Friday night announced his resignation, citing an extramarital affair, and it was reported he will no longer testify.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., the House Homeland Security Committee chairman, charged in an interview with CNN that Petraeus is “at the center of this, and there are answers that only he has.” King was referring to the Benghazi attacks.

Asked if he will still call for Petraeus testify despite his resignation, Rep. King replied, “Absolutely, to me, he’s an absolutely necessary witness.”

Patraeus resigned at a time when the U.S. intelligence community is facing criticism over both its response to the assault in Benghazi and whether it had early warnings of al-Qaida plans to attack the U.S. mission in that country.

The White House and multiple State Department officials had immediately blamed a crude film about the Islamic figure Mohammad for what they claimed were popular protests that preceded the attacks on the U.S. mission.

According to new, vivid accounts provided by the State Department and intelligence officials, no such popular demonstration took place the night of the attack. Instead, video footage from Benghazi reportedly shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, the officials said.

      The real truth is their all guilty of High Treason and the in our face laughing Sociopathic new world order globalist banker scumbag’s fixed the presidential vote on purpose to infuriate people who know the obama criminal felony fraud and his American history of facts like war crimes, mass murder, theft, DU, food and water genocide theirs absolutely no way American’s black or white would vote for a confirmed proven illegal alien usurper obama. obama is 100% a National Security Threat. If convicted the punishment for High Treason is death by hanging until the one-world government owned scumbag perpetrators are pronounced dead. If a person knew that obama has been proven to have falsified his identity by him being proven a british subject and you voted for obama you are also a Treasonous Traitor because you’re 100% a premeditated complicit accomplice in the most egregious gross fraud that was ever perpetrated on American soil and it needs to be address with arrests right now, enough is enough who is going to slap the leg irons on some real heavy-duty war criminals? Obama and his entire entourage are under citizen’s arrest for blatant High Treason, murder, mass murder, war crimes, theft, fraud, voter fraud, food and water tampering “slow GMO kill” cancer genocide.

        Yep, you can say that again, and again… but no one really seems to give a damn is the problem.

        Yah is going to end his patience with man and soon all this will be nothing. Burned, their memory will be finally nothing, no seed, no reminder, just nothing. All of these liars and treasonous murderous profiteers who masquerade as moral people. Yah knows, Yahushua knows, and the angels of their heaven are writing all their deeds down – their deeds will not be ignored for ever, even though right now it seems like it.

          Maybe Yah can come get me off this prison planet any…day…now. Yahwn!

      This is another rat deserting the sinking ship. A sex scandal? Ho hum, yawn.
      Never mind spilling the beans regarding Jihadi gun running, tell us about the Ambassador in Libya.

      Mr. Petraeus is a rightwinger, he started out as gw bushes boy Friday…..and can guess why President Obama kept him on. Apparently the rightwingers are turning out to be dumber than a box of tissue. ;p; :twisted:

      Being sacrificed is part of the normal laws of being a member of the Illuminati.

      If a plan is in motion and things are left in a sloppy manner that could possibly put these planners in the light of the public, or the ‘good guys’ find a whole to unravel that will cause major disruption of that plan, then, someone must be sacrificed so the plan can continue, unabated.

      With respect….

      To all you space cadets:
      He had no choice but to submit his resignation as he was in a compromising position being the head of the CIA. The last thing you want, especially in the spy business is to have your enemy get a hold of any information that puts you in a compromising position.
      Read any spy novel and you will see for yourself . Leave the BS in your head and not on paper.

      Good riddance to Betrayus. Now if we could just get the CIA to resign.lol

      The thing is — no one attains to the power offices unless they are corrupt or corruptible. You’re not allowed to be a swimmer in the Cesspool unless they can call you covered in crap if you get out of line. At least he wasn’t suicided. He’s probably rather frightened right now. Remember Bush’s black eye which he claimed he got “wrestling with a pretzel” while watching football ?

      Look a little deeper and you’ll see Petraeus’ testimony in 2010 before the Senate Arms Committee linking the Israeli-Palestinian tensions as a “challenge to security and stability” in the Middle East. This was from being an observant general on the ground before he was appointed CIA director.

      Thou shalt not make such a link according to the ADL — “This linkage is dangerous and counterproductive,” twas said.

      If you don’t get on the Israeli bus, you get thrown under the Israeli bus — eventually.

      Ms. Broadwell consented to the search of her home without a warrant and confiscation of all her documents — which are the actions of someone who hopes to clear their name.

      Something more is afoot and is probably bigger than gunrunning.

      What happened to my comment ? :shock:

      • lindarosemary

        I can never figure out what happens to my comments either. I may not come back to this web site.

        • W. Willow

          Well, as you can see, it got posted just as I made my comment. lol !

          I think you may have to let it ride a minute or so before moving on to something else.

      Basically, after Osama -bin-laden ( OBL) killing (engineered ) General Petraeus came closer and in the good books of Obama… The differences between CIA, Pentagon and FIA came into limelight when before elections political elite against some of military elite announced exit strategy from AFGHANISTAN … At that time covert controversy over political leadership gave birth to the rumors of Martial Law in U.S. Anyhow, FBI got a golden opportunity of punching back CIA while revealing General Petraeus Case but off course FBI waited for U.S. Presidential elections results…It should also be highlight here that CIA and FBI both organizations are morally corrupt and need to be controlled since they consider that everything is fair in LOVE & WAR …Broadwell is a West Point graduate and a research associate at Harvard University… She is the co-author of …ALL IN… Broadwell stated that first meeting with Petraeus in 2006 at Harvard, where she was working on a dissertation about leadership…they soon started e-mailing and discussing her research…In the preface to the book, Broadwell also disclosed that after Obama picked Petraeus to lead U.S. forces in Afghanistan in June 2010, he invited her to KABUL , and she decided to turn her dissertation into a biography…The name of the book is intriguing…What does…ALL IN… stand for? It’s about the depth of their relation and intensity of sexual relations between the General and his beloved Broadwell…She made repeated trips to Afghanistan to spend time observing Petraeus…Thus, she got closer and started complying with the demands and desires of Commander Petraeus…Some sympathizers of CIA Director believe that FIA investigation against Broadwell and Petraeus were somehow biased and an effort of maligning and forcing the General to quit the office… The question is ?_____WAS General Petraeus Sweetheart … Paula Broadwell planted & if she was…who planted her & why she was Planted :?:

      That film has long left the minds of the average American citizen. It is a shame that the President and Ms. Rice thought that we would buy into the idea that this poorly made film was a reason behind the attacks that killed Amb. Stevens and 4 others. Gen Petraeus must know the details behind the attack. Why would he resign and end his career this way?
