What Did Petraeus Know and When Did He Know It?

What Did Petraeus Know and When Did He Know It?]

(Washington, DC, 11/15) The bitterness of the neocons knows no limit. They're still having tantrums after being denied the unchallenged ability to pillage and plunder at will (and at our expense). Never mind that the public doesn't want to hear it. The Congressional Republicans are jumping up and down over their big question: When did President Obama know about the affair between General Petraeus and Mrs. Broadwell? Talk about a misguided salvage operation. Their inquiries will spark some questions that they won't want asked. (Image)

The real questions concern the behavior and motivation of General Petraeus in the aftermath of the murder of the United States ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, on September 11, 2012.

When did General Petraeus know the sequence of events that preceded the murder of United States Ambassador Stevens, indicating the likely motivation for the murder?

The Petraeus CIA provided inaccurate information about events on the ground to the Obama Administration, particularly to President Obama and United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice. Did they know it was inaccurate?

If the Petraeus CIA mislead or withheld information from the White House or allowed that to happen, was it in the service of the Romney campaign or those clamoring for an attack on Iran?

I hope they and we keep delving because I think there are a lot of answers hidden under this muck.

Romney was too excited, pre-orgasmic almost during the town hall debate when the Benghazi terrorist issue came up...Romney's so called "gotcha moment " Of course he had his head handed to him on a platter. It was just too staged...Romney is a bad actor.

That said, along with the rapid response and "meth rush" enthusiasm of the republicans to maximize this talking point as a scandalous cover-up....repeatedly...well it feels fixed to me. They won't let it go...yet they can't make it stick. The chorus of GOP mouthpieces seem to scramble with a collage of conspiracy accusations. They protest too much without evidence...just speculation.

The Petraeus cast of characters are all devout republicans from what I hear...Understandable for them all to provide inaccurate information regarding the Benghazi event....I would not be surprised if we discover the Benghazi riot was instigated with Petraeus knowledge followed by intentional misinformation being dispersed with the intent to create a pre-election scandals for President Obama. ....that was their plan and they are relentless with trying to sell it even post election... they are frustrated.

I sense President Obama has a spy in the republican camp.....He is playing his poker hand close to the vest. I don't see this outcome looking good for the republicans.
