Petraeus Calls On Congress to Back WH On Syria

Retired Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, former CIA director under President Barack Obama, called strongly Saturday for Congress to back the White House on Syria, declaring that military action against the regime is “necessary” to deter “Iran, North Korea and other would-be aggressors.”

“Failure of Congress to approve the president’s request would have serious ramifications not just in the Mideast but around the world,” Petraeus said in a four-sentence statement provided to POLITICO.

 

With Congress set to return from summer break on Monday, Obama’s request is in trouble in the Senate and on a path to an embarrassing loss in the House. He will sit for interviews Monday with six TV networks as he makes his case for military intervention in Syria ahead of an address to the nation on Tuesday.

 

In his years as U.S. commander in Iraq and Afghanistan, Petraeus was regarded by many Republican lawmakers as a god on military matters.

      He just does what the elders in the coven tell him to do. He has no free will.

        Yes, he is a neocon. He is for Israeli expansion and pushing up against WW3.

      Go back to sleep, dude. You’re most likely just another useful idiot that you allow Obama to use.

      what petraeus wants is to push Obama to a confrontation, by which Putin should be humiliated and them they can coerce china, just a gangsters war! however what would Putin do! he was KGM and what the russian people will do! so they are force to act is no longer a question will they be stronger this is it or PUTIN bends his head or he fights back with nukes, them we shall see, americans think nukes will not be use , but there is no other option for PUTIN, he has to. reason why Obama has declare himself ALCAPONE, and now threatens putin, in fact US me and you not Putin and putin in fact is telling you there in the usa or me in france or the other in colorado that he will retaliate if Obama corners him and it will be nukes. so that is the message to america, however all believe that PUTIN will give in, i don’t think so.

      Well General, get your fatigues and helmet on and you go right on over there and do it yourself. Let’s see you and the other pencil pushers generals put their lives on the line for a change. Let’s also get the presidents and CEO’s of the corporations who are really the ones putting pressure on you and other government leadership jump out of a plane or storm the beach. Then there’s Obama, “the silent drone” president, who never served a day in the military in his life, even forged a selective service card to avoid even registering for military service get his self on a plane and go over there. Then let’s see Joe Biden get his trusty shotgun and go over there and kick some butt along with his constitutional law professor cap which told GWB that he would be impeached if he did not consult Congress getting approval before starting an engagement in a foreign country. How about Speaker Pelosi, or one of her kids or grandkids, I know she would rather vote with the lives of one of her offspring than just say Yay to a voice vote? And let’s not forget Speaker John Boehner, imagine “ol cry baby” in an armed assault unit going into a militant stronghold. Why don’t you folks all put your lives on the line for a change – let’s see how quick and aggressive you are with other peoples lives and loved ones when it’s you or your loved ones on the line? :lol: :lol: :lol:

      David H. Petraeus is one of those people we are going to need to bring to justice for war crimes against humanity.

      i still think they sat Petraeus down and said ~ look David. we have information on you. just like everyone else in the country/world in our databases. Play ball ~ help take down the US from within, or we destory you. he said no ~ im going to stick with my oath to the constitution. Have it your way then ~ and they destroyed him. Same think they are doing to colin powell now.
      Petraeus also attended bilderberg back in June 2013.

      syria ~ its not about syria. the worst magician knows the formula at least ~ get the audience looking over there, and when they are, make something else happen the other way. The audience sees the result ~ doesnt know how it happened.

      Thats syria folks. so when the media reports obama and putin met privately to talk abotu syria ~ yeah, sure they did. No ~ they talked about their recent deal to “share experts and resources” in the case of emergency, disaster, etc. Putin and Obama were talking about ruling the new world order that is about to hit.
