Turns out he's been balling his biographer, Paula Broadwell, whose book is laughably titled All In (guess the publisher didn't spring for her first suggestion, Balls Deep?). They say she's under investigation for accessing his emails. Something doesn't add up in a Hookergate sort of way here, but let's all dissect her appearance anyway!

Been a while since some honcho's hooker hijinx brought Pinupmtant this way.

Hadn't heard the e-mail part. Who's saying it?

Come on. Guy is a fucking General. It is a time of war still right? Dude should be able to fuck whoever he can, as a thank you for his service to the country.

Emails would be the other shoe to drop makes sense. Everyone tries to spin it that McGreevey resigned from NJ Gov because he is gay. Nope. He resigned because he got caught trying to shoe horn his foreign born boy toy into NJ's Homeland Security position.

Therefore I can see this dude let her see some emails and it costing him his job. They probably want to keep that part off the record, so no one pries into what the emails said.

Paula Broadwell? I'd totally fuck her.

I don't know how McGreevey trying to get his twink hired means the General's Ho gets a daily briefing.

I think a more likely scenario is that someone in the Pentagon has lingering issues over this mess and wants to know why some Generals get called on shit and others don't.

My thought is that he isn't resigning over the affair, he is resigning over the email leak and the affair was made public so he would go away, rather than they court martial him for letting her read "sensitive" emails.

The other guy is nuts. Petraeus was just horny.

Read about the Waffle House exec that is being sued for hiring a single mom that needed a job, and seemingly, allegedly brow beat her and threatened her job until she would wack him off. If you gonna risk a high paying gig, get something better than hand jobs. http://www.cnn.com/2012/11/09/justice/georgia-waffle-house-allegation/.

It's funny how this happened just days before he was supposed to testify before Congress on the Benghazi fiasco. There have been indications over the past couple of weeks that Petraeus wasn't going to toe the party line.

I suspect Obama has known about this affair for a while and kept it in his back pocket until he needed a little leverage against Petraeus.

Obama is desperate to keep this Benghazi mess under wraps, just as he was desperate enough to keep Fast & Furious under wraps. When Congress demanded that he provide document related to Mexican gun running, Obama invoked executive privilege and essentially told Congress to go fuck itself.

So much for the most transparent administration in U.S. history. The Magic Negro is the most corrupt president since Nixon.

^^^While Congress can subpoena him later he will not be testifying this Thursday, and that buys the administration some time. Also he will no longer be able to provide or have access to any documents. Let's just hope he doesn't go taking any long walks in a federal park.

Karl, Karl, Karl: Desperation only occurs when you're losing. Like, by a margin of 332-206.




Ah, I hadn't read anything about the e-mails until this morning. But having read it, I also read that rumors of this have been around for years.

Petraeus has been the fair-haired golden boy since West Point, where he married the Superintendent's Daughter. Architect of "The Surge." Got the top commands. Got all the press. Seems to have gotten all the broads as well. You don't think some disgruntled one-or-two-star general would drop a dime to the FBI?

Petraeus wasn't just horny, he was hella hubristic. And, for once in his life, flat-out dumb.

That electoral margin don't mean shit J.B. You ever see the county map of the U.S. that Romney won. Minorities in the big cities and women won this election for Odumbass.

This whole resignation is way too coincidental to the Benghazi bungle to be just an affair. Hillary's gone too right ? Not to mention Eric Shithead Holder.

On the contrary, it's the only thing that matters. (And, by a 5-4 margin.)


BTW, He won the popular vote, as well.

Didn't say it didn't matter. Just not an indication of a rout by any stretch.

You're correct. Karl Rove's meldown of Fox is a far better indication of a rout.





And speaking of hubris in high places. . .

Landslide by Fox standards!

Nixon's 1972 win was even bigger. How did his second term work out? I can't remember.

That's the second Nixon analogy you've made, Karl. Are you suggesting Obama won because of voter fraud?


Nah, I didn't think you wanted to go there. While we're at it. . .



There's those pesky Fifteenth and Nineteenth Amendments again. Look, it's obvious you guys don't like the nigras, and it's a reasonable inference you guys don't like women, either. Be that as it may, it takes a special sort of cluelessness to antagonize two voting blocks who might not otherwise be allied into voting against you.

You want to know why Mitt Romney lost on Tuesday? It's because he was as out of touch with the electorate, on the right, as Al Gore was on the left twelve years ago. Hubris knows no parties. And this vague implication of yours, that Petraeus, Hilary and "the magic negro" killed Vince Foster in order to make Missouri a province of Greater Kenya, is about on level with some of the Dems' grumblings in 2000.

maps
I agree that the repubs need to quit antagonizing minorities and women in general. I'm not a repub by any stretch.

Okay, but land area does not equal popular will. And maybe if we can get some of the ghetto rats enthused with capitalism, we'd have less problems in those precincts, yes?

I'm not wedded to the Dems, either, but this alleged Benghazi conspiracy is desperation in it's purest form.

1) Obama won, fair and square

2) ^ It's entirely Mitt Romney's "fault;"

3) Whining about Petraeus, or Benghazi, looks petty when we have much bigger fish to fry, like the "fiscal cliff" John Boehner's trying to push us over.

You stupid fuck. There is a huge difference between the incumbent getting 332 votes, and the incumbent's challenger getting 332 votes.

BTW, thanks for helping in the destruction of the country. Make sure you feel proud of yourself when your Government hand out check bounces

What do you mean the Government's handing out checks? I thought it'd be like this.

General Pet doesn't strike me as the blackmailable type. He got caught and his own honor code wouldn't let him stay in office.

And I don't see him falling on his sword for the likes of Barack Obama.

Exactly what I've been trying to say. His honor code is the West Point honor code. He stands or falls on that. To his credit, he did what honor required.


There's plenty to hang upon Obama. This isn't one of those things.

He still has to testify about Benghazi or this will tarnish his image. Like people are saying, it is WAY too convenient as far as the timing goes. Who knows, Obama may have dirt on almost everyone involved in his administration and just keeps it stored away for when he needs a conveniently timed resignation.

^^^Aren't you the guy who bungled his ballot by being blotto?

Shit, you're going to talk about his "image" when you make me look sober?

I've had a lot on my fucking mind lately. I was already drinking today during college football, even though I normally hate college football.

I'm quoting this to make certain this is your "official" excuse.

I'm not judging it. I will include it in any discussion on "how Republicans vote."

This is exactly one of those things. The attack went on for seven hours. CIA, State, Defense and AfriCom knew about it almost as soon as it started. They had live drone feeds in well under an hour. Panetta briefed Obama on it about an hour after if began. How could this not be negligence by Obama?

Petraeus made a public admission of infidelity to take blackmail off the table and immediately announced that he won't testify before Congress next week.

Just before the election, Hillary said that she was taking full responsibility for Benghazi. Now that the election is over, she has announced that she is leaving State and also will not testify before Congress because of a scheduling conflict. How does one take responsibility for that massive fuckup and then nonchalantly tell Congress to fuck itself?

Obama is circling the wagons and throwing everyone under the bus. Of course this all comes back on him. He knew that his inaction would result in the death of those four Americans and he just didn't give a fuck.

Heh. CLICKY.

I'm enjoying your denial. The Magic Negro isn't made of Teflon. This Benghazi shit might bring him down. At best, he will come out of hit looking like a shitbag. I don't think Congress is going to let him hide behind executive privilege on this, as he did with Fast & Furious.

Trust me, I'm enjoying yours a whole lot more. It's not 1927 anymore.

lotsa playa hatin' goin on...

Sometimes I like to switch on FOX for giggles. I just don't understand their message. Yesterday I switched over and they where discussing the how the Republican party needs to re-brand itself. Some chick was talking about how they don't need to change their views of "smaller government", just how that particular view is presented. Now, the whole "smaller government" thing is probably the one area where I agree the most with the Repubs. I think a lot of people agree with this sentiment. I don't know about anyone else, but it's the religious and racial bullshit that gets to me. I will never vote on that ticket because of these views. Telling women to accept rape babies? Come the fuck on.

But, Fartz? Isn't accepting Rape Babies one of those traditional American values upon which our society is based?








And not a whole lot of "there" there, either.

Well,now that you mention it .

Ah, yes: The self-styled, self-referential (and self-important) "pundit" press. Still all worked up about Allen West eh?

BTW, who do they cite in that story? Oh, yeah. The Moonies. There's reliable journalism for you.

Stay crazy, kids.

If america can't lose 4 americans, you should really stay home and stop bothering people. Pull out of every country. Stay home. Let China rule the world. They won't sweat 4 people. Or 4000. Or 4000000.

i know what you're saying and i agree. it sucks but those diplomats are in harms way when they take a position in a third world shithole. it's like blaming giuliani for every fireman that died that September day.

Complete bullshit. There is acceptable risk, such as the risk that some radical Islamist assholes will kill you. What is unacceptable is your own government leaving you to die unnecessarily at the hands of those radical Islamist assholes.

Make no mistake about it. We had more than enough assets in the area to defeat the attack and rescue our consulate personnel. There was a conscious decision not to do so. That decision could have made only at the very top.

Here is my question then: Which of the dead would the Executive Branch be happy is dead, and why?

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's one whose demise makes Ol' Blackface here sound less like a raving conspiracy theorist.

Neither Benghazi nor Fast & Furious are Nixonian plots to destroy the Republic. They are, however, the (R)'s favotite smokescreens in obscuring the real issues, like Boehner & McConnel's latest attempt at giving Billionaires another tax cut. The people rejected that idea at the polls. Deal with it.

"The people" didn't endorse or reject anything at the polls. Obama got ~10 million fewer votes than in 2008 and Romney got ~2 million fewer votes than McCain. "The people" are pissed, apathetic, discouraged and disaffected.

Sorry I don't see the comparison between dead Americans and tax cuts as being anywhere near equal. Both Fast and Furious and Benghazi are national disgraces and I don't give a shit who's responsible. The truth needs to come out and people held responsible.
They can tax the rich all they want but it's not going to make any difference in terms of national debt and will make a ton of difference in the economy and jobs for the worse.
The coal mines are laying off left and right around here by the way. Shit for brains policies are creating more and more dependency as we speak. How can any American defend this son of a bitch in office ? They can't see past their own fucking greedy ass noses and don't care who they fuck as long as they get free shit and a govt. dick up their ass.

More denial, Karl? Here's some things the people rejected at the polls:

Smug, Condescending Billionaires:




Rapists:



Dressage:




Seriously, Dressage? Could you pick any more effeminate, elitist "sport" to engage in?

You're right. The people are "pissed, apathetic, discouraged and disaffected." And a majority of them voted for someone who understands their problems just a little bit better than dressage dude does.

They voted for free shit and instant gratification.

You know what's a national disgrace? Holding the country hostage until effete elites get another tax cut to subsidize their pretty ponies.

Neither of these teapot tempests come close to being Nixonian. Boehner and McConnell, however, do seem to be repeating history:

Less a matter of being happy and more a matter of not wanting to anger the Arabs/ Africans. Them not being angry is worth as many American lives as it takes.

But JB says it's nothing, so nothing it must be.

So if you have no problem with them being dead, or as many dead as it takes, what are you bitching about, Barry?

You can't have your dead and your issue, too.

I seen a picture of Petraeus' wife in the paper today. Looks like George Wendt in drag. I change my opinion to "I don't blame the guy."

Context is not your friend, I see. The question, quoted in my post, was from jerk: "Here is my question then: Which of the dead would the Executive Branch be happy is dead, and why?"

I was answering the question for the Administration, which doesn't have a spokesperson here yet. The number of dead Americans is unimportant to the Administration as long as Arab/ African sensibilities are not disturbed.

Try to keep up. It's not that hard.

I think that the government agencies that view this site should pool their resources and provide us a liason.

A grunt's take on Petraeus.

Well, that and the fact that nobody in his party actually liked him. I liked the clips of Mitt I saw from that first debate. In fact, it's why I tuned in for the third debate, but that Mitt was nowhere to be seen. The guy should have went all in during debates two and three, but he didn't, and here we are.

Nor yours, it seems. The question was asked in response to Nitne:





In that context, looks like he's asking for Nitne's take on it. In any event:



Whatever floats your boat, Clint, but maybe that hippie lettuce is doing more damage than you think, yes? If you're going to do that, a page after the question was posted, how about putting it in some [Obama} tags, so it's clear that you're mimicking the senile, instead of trying to have it both ways.





Indeed.

I think he shot his load during the first debate and had to sit around the set as impotently as Flopsy Kn0% for the other two.

But, you're right. The Multiple-Mitt mess definitely cost him. Hell, it's why the Salt Lake Tribune refused to endorse him and they're the largest Mormon paper in the world.

They didn't endorse him because he moved too left/centrist for their position.

They're all lying of course, the candidates, but they have to all appear centrist to garner swing voters, and the election results show it. I would have much preferred a centrist appearing Romney get elected then "do what he do" than have Obama do the same, especially as a lame duck. I really think the shit is going to hit the fan.

Double dumb. The affair is one thing but the e-mails and the intervention in a custody case show a serious lack of judgment and priorities.

Nothing make an old man dumber than younger pussy.

We should focus on Benghazi, not this shit.

That Kelley skank lists her occupation as "unpaid social liason". Free, skanky, probably stupid. I think she's our girl.

I wonder when the Bravo Network will be adding her to the cast of The Real Housewives of Miami or will they build a show around her. She seems to have the right combination of snobby and stupid that will light up the catty taste buds of the queer demographic that is Bravo.

That's gotta give the IRS man a chuckle every April when she sends in her 1040.

Obama is whining about the republicans taking Susan Rice to task over her Benghazi statement. He said she had nothing to do with it. If that's so WHAT THE FUCK WAS SHE DOING GIVING THE STATEMENT ABOUT THE ATTACK? Impeach this dumb criminal lying son of a bitch !

How about Chanel Preston for playing Broadwell in the bound to be upcoming parody ?

I'd just like to say, that I have been paying as little attention as possible to the Libyan Embassy stuff and the Generals' whores stuff. 5 years from now, looking back, I think they will be blips on the radar.

I can't believe ppl get so worked up over the General keeping a whore. Fucking stupid.

Keep the focus on the Benghazi cover up.

bdm...you're on a roll. instead of logging in and wondering why i check the place in the face of figgs 20 post spew everyday i've been enjoying and looking forward to what you have to contribute. i'm not sure how long this or even you will last but keep it up you fucken savage.

If you insist, but, as with the budget, the numbers don't seem to be in your favor. Let's look at how comparable events unfolded under different administrations:









Cover up? How does testifying before a hostile Congress equal a cover up?


Petraeus to testify Friday before House committee on Libya assault

Clinton to testify before Congress about Benghazi attack


I get the feeling you'll next suggest that Petraeus, being a clever bastard, timed his romp with an unstable broad so that his life would implode at the very moment he was scheduled to testify about an attack that hadn't yet happened. No matter. As soon as this lie is disproven, you'll come back with three more. It's what you do. Just remember three things:


(I) Just because you cry "coverup" a thousand times doesn't mean there is one;

(II) Just because you claim to be an, ahem "licensed structural engineer," doesn't mean you can identify rebar; and

(III) Just because you claim to be tall, doesn't mean you're not a dwarf, eh, shorty?

WTC bombing and Okie bombing were Clinton or GHWB?

Legit question. I remember stuff that happened in the 90's, but have a difficult time timelining all of it. I think that stuff was pre OJ, but don't remember if it was all after Jan 93.

First WTC was Clinton. So was Oklahoma. I didn't include Oklahoma because it was a domestic incident, and we're comparing foreign, Muzzie terrorist incidents.

For the R's, it's: W, Reagan, W, Reagan, W.

For the D's, it's: Obama, Bubba, Bubba, Bubba, Bubba.

Come to think of it: Obama's got the least casualties of all of 'em. Some cover up.

wasted effort JB. I'm flattered though, really.

Terrorist is a terrorist in my opinion. Ruby Ridge or Waco wouldn't be entered, because those were our government doing the terrorizing via botched home invasions.

OKC was a Muslim financed operation. Read a book about it years ago. Was far from convinced. But for the purposes of this discussion, I'm very convinced.

Come to think of it, Watergate had no casualties. Yet the scene of Nixon getting on Marine One is pretty iconic.

Before we all wet ourselves, I'm in no way saying this will cost the President it's chair.

That is why I said it is nothing more than a blip. Those at the embassy worked for the government, that makes em assets not people. Assets are disposable and replaceable. Dehumanizing them makes the loss easier to take.

That wouldn't surprise me in the least. I mean, we all know how easily these loony right-wingers are taken in by the jihadi jabber. Oh, look. . .

I can't share my Afghan story, but that pic pretty much sums it up. All of them dudes prolly wound up on a deck of cards. Some alliances only last as long as the common enemy and cash flow do.

Ice-T once more. He can't really interest himself in founding fathers blathering on about freedom while believing it's okay to own n!ggers, as he put it, and thinks they were insane.

It does, doesn't it. After all, wasn't Tim McVeigh ranting on and on about the Founding Fathers and the Minutemen and such?

Anyway, I checked the numbers and even if you add OKC to Bubba's tally, the Death Toll is still 3,374 (R) to 438 (D). These guys really aren't in a position to point fingers on this subject.

And that one dude third from the right I'm absolutely certain met up with some high explosives.

"We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow."

-- Lord Palmerston

What does it sum up, exactly? We fought two wars with England. 2 with Germany. A pretty big one with Japan.

We threw our cards in with the Afghanis in the 80s because it was in our national interests (oil), and was the right thing to do. But, like we do, we failed to win the peace. No Party was immune from that, before we start getting partisan.

The thing about Monday morning quarterbacking the Afghani thing is that in the 80s, absolutely no one was saying "oh, we best watch out. In 20 years these fuckheads are going to be shooting Stingers at us". The only people who were against supporting the mujas, and the Contras, were the usual suspects who were:

A) Afraid that standing up to the Soviets would just make them mad.

or

2) Fellow travellers.

So don't pretend that the Tali problem was visible a mile away.

As for McVeigh, he was out far enough the Nazis didn't want him. It's a myth that WP/ militia/ Nazis are sitting around waiting for marching orders from Limbaugh and Gutfeld. I got to know quite a few of them in my FFL days. Limbaugh and Savage/ Beck/ whoever are all part of the System. Certainly not to be trusted. There is zero evidence that Reagan comparing the muja to the Founding Fathers contributed to OKC.

I'm sure T would be just as rich and chunky white whore fucking if his ancestors hadn't been pulled out of the trees and brought to civilization. He'd either be ordering a Rambo gun from the Lord of War or digging diamonds with his one remaining arm.

You're quoting a guy who went from being a Tory in the house to being a liberal interventionist who supported revolution throughout Europe when he became Foreign Secretary?





Ummm, Barry? There's NO oil in Afghanistan. There were just some Russians who would have made no real difference in the Cold War if we'd left the thing alone and continued to bankrupt them building nukes. As we were.




You're right, because no great power ever suffered disaster by relying upon barbarians to fight their battles for them.




. . .is that it makes Monday morning quarterbacking Benghazi seem even sillier than it already is. BTW: How many decades have to pass before it's no longer "Monday Morning Quarterbacking?" When does it become "the historical record?"




I'd go with the latter. I can't see Tritone picking up a gun and defending himself when he's done nothing but roll over and beg for more abuse for the past five years.

Why the pic sums up my Afghani story: We were once friendly with the people we later fought. If you were known or found to have contacts with our allies turned enemies, a grilling from Homeland Security ensued. Even if you were an 80 year old man with dementia and a life long hatred of Russians.

I meant Ice-T.

Enemies become friends, friends become enemies. Geopolitics works that way. Always has.

You can have my Monday Morning Quarterbacking when you pry it from my cold, dead hand.

Barbarians or no, the problem at the time with helping the muja wasn't that it would blow up in our face in 20 years. No one even considered that, beyond your Monday Morning Quarterbacking that "no great power ever suffered disaster by relying upon barbarians to fight their battles for them". In the grand scheme, most major powers did fine letting barbarians do the fighting. In the Empire days it was pretty much standard operating procedure. A lot of the problem is pretending that barbarians are human and don't need a firm ruling hand to keep them in line.

Before you go lecturing about geopolitics, or history, you might want to learn a bit about both. Like, this business about there being oil in Afghanistan.




Exactly. Which is why the Reagan boys, having failed to learn from history, ended up repeating it.







So, once again, it's fine when you do it, but when you're on the receiving end, you whine like a bitch. I hope you cling to this all the way through the mid-terms.

Barry, you're clearly a useless pot-smoking ex-hippie-turned-'libertarian' who probably lives off of government disability (that you are faking since you're too fucking lazy to work for a living). Just like Coke.

All this 'firm ruling hand' shit isn't too convincing coming from the likes of you.

I work with an engineer from Iran. Even he agrees the only way to control Arabs is with a brutal iron fist. It's the only thing they respect.

1) You're not an Engineer.

2) Iranians aren't Arabs.

I'm not an engineer? lol.

Sure you are, little buddy:

Iranians = Persian. Shi'ite Muslims. They hate the Sunnis more than they hate us. Jews top their list like they top everyone elses.

Exactly, and the ethnic "Arabs" are, with the exception of some Iraqis, Sunnis.

I have zero problems hating on the muzzis. But we ought to be clear as to why. Because, as Shorty has demonstrated, they can be used as a scapegoat in order to buttress claims that never happened. Like his claim to be an engineer.










:pause while Shorty the "engineer" googles the term "buttress" :

They're all towel-head, sand niggers to me. I'm sure Bornyo would have fun shooting them and making an ear necklace.

Ear necklaces: Not just for American soldiers in Vietnam anymore.

I can't blame Petraeus for fucking that hot slut Paula Broadwell. I mean, look at how hideous his wife is!

Like you say, there is acceptable risk, and the people who were in charge decided it was impossible to cut off the attack. I have heard reports that two americans serving in the area did try to attack the attackers. And they ended up dead too. There was just no proper way to counter the attack, and the attackers were obviously prepared for some kind of attack.

Rice wasn't under oath. At least I don't think so. She was trotted out to the sunday shows to put out a statement. And her talking point were vetted by the CIA. She's done nothing wrong.

From what I heard, two former Navy SEALs ignored repeated orders to stay away from the area, but responded anyway to try to save their comrades. They were painting the enemy's mortar location with lasers and calling in an airstrike and waiting for the planes to bomb the target. But the planes were never sent.

The people in charge decided the election was more important than American lives. They also knew they had the MSM in the bag for them who would convince morons like you the administration did nothing wrong, and try and bury the story.

It's why we know more about the Romney's 47% comment than we do about Libya.

What 47% comment?

The one that cost Willard the presidency.

Gotta disagree. I doubt it was any one thing, winning or losing. There were never any "gotcha" moments. I think it had as much impact as Benghazi. By that I mean not as much as they should have.
