Not that I expect an explanation that rings true, but how can he NOT testify? A man who is a general knows that he's ''on call'' 24/7.

What good would the testimony of Petraeus be?
He has already told the nation that he is a deceitful person who would lie in order to satisfy his own desires.
A shame... an entire career .. ends in disgrace.
Now.. he is just another Obama tool.

I just read in Caroline Glick's article, ''But lucky for him [Obama], the Benghazi debacle was small enough for the media to hide from the electorate. Sure a US ambassador and three others were murdered. But four is not a very large number. And it was over in a day.''
Oy! May the truth come out for all the world to see.

Petraeus will NEVER testify - - even if they hold hearings every day until Doomsday - - which come to think of it isn't as far off as it used to be.

Nothing significant was going to happen anyway. Not with John F. Kerry running the Senate investigation.
Also - the story is young - someone seems to have had David by the gonads. That hurts.
I thought something was wrong the day he went to work for Obama. His wife promptly got a very nice job too.
The House investigation - even though honest - will be futile too.

And I told them in no uncertain terms will I be supporting or voting for any Republican who doesn't stand up and fight the fight for this country. I suggest everyone do the same then these RINO republican cowards might understand our anger and disgust. Sit there and do nothing and nothing is all you're gonna get!

He had the hands and the handshake of a man who had never held a pipe wrench or a chainsaw.

Please, please friends - - please don't even begin to think that Petraeus had a sexual dalliance. He didn't say he did - - so why would any of us think he did?
"Affair" is a very, very broad term - - it can mean just about anything. And in this case - - it means something which none of us are evil enough to contemplate.
Zippy is pro-abortion and black - - plus he just got reelected president by thoroughly dumbed-down voters. He'll skate away better than Dorothy Hamill in her prime.

okay - they threatened him that his ''affair'' would be revealed. So he resigns and spills his own beans. Now it's the horse's head and the ''nice family you got there'' intimidation. And he refuses to testify.
Testify. Funny - the origin of that word supposedly is from ancient Rome. The men would put their hands on their testicles when they took an oath. There appears to be a lot of that testicle grabbing in DC...

And who paid for the hooker with whom he quickly shacked up last week in order to duck having to spill the beans on the birth certificate challenged Bow-Boy, darling of the Amerikan Communist Village, elected by hacking voting databases.
Well, I don't for a minute think it was a hooker; it was Pig-In-A-Pants-Suit. They had drinks the other night after letting Bow-Boy let the RH's kill the ambassador and he wakes up in her bed with cankle marks on his Petraeus the next morning and rather than kill himself, he cranks up this lie about an affair.
And PIAPS is in tears.

Time for the parents/loved ones of the fallen to be heard! They deserve the truth, sadly, I doubt they will get it from this White House!
We need a valiant reporter who seeks the truth!
America sat back, did not care about their fellow-Americans who suffered/died for our freedom. Obama denied US what our Constitution provides! All in an election year.
The liberal media "selectively" reported whatever helped Obama win. How does "Revenge" sound!
This country has not lived up to our reputation of a land of the free, home of the brave. We were denied truth/freedom. The brave were denied their "day in court" before we as a country went to the polls, deciding our future on denial of the past month where Obama/Hillary both lied to US. Bill Clinton set the benchmark and they just "followed" his example.
We need a thorough investigation!
We were sold a bill of goods, not honest/true!
Nothing new from the last four years,yet this country "bought" the lies. We all will suffer the consequences of an ill-informed society.
God's Word is our only safeguard. He will make all things good to "those" who call upon His Name, live His way, place our faith/trust/confidence in Him alone.
Islam is not the religion of peace.
Jesus said before He left the earth, they hated Me, they will hate you. The Peace I give is not of this world. His Kingdom will reign forever! There will be no war/fear. No one who will succeed in usurping His power. Amen
America was fooled by Obama the first time, shame on him. We were fooled again, shame on US! That is what we are experiencing.

And nixon said, 'yes.' Now Petraeus provides a convenient firewall for President Zero. Zero will just throw up his hands and say Petraeus knows what happened, and he ain't talking.

Most of us, as we age, have little to fear other than for family, particularly our children. Strange but true. Who cares about an affair, everyone has those, regardless how foolish and futile they are in retrospect. Self looses value. Family is the only thing that matters, has value. And that is probably, I suspect, the key to the bizarre Petraeus behavior.

One of the first political issues negotiators must tackle in crafting an immigration reform bill is among the most important: what to name it. It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

Joyce Karam, Washington correspondent for pan-Arabic daily Al-Hayat, offers a sobering assessment on the Al-Arabiya website of the current administrations efforts in the post-”Arab Spring” Middle East. She begins by noting a how a minor recent diplomatic walkback highlights the White House’s contradictory policy: It was only fitting that the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announces another traditional trip to the Middle East on the same day that the U.S. embassy in Cairo withdraws its tweet advancing the case for Egyptian Comedian Bassem Youssef as he faces intimidation from the Mursi government.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Lower in the agreement, the parties specified that they would keep that amount confidential. When asked during an earlier interview whether the amount was

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in Cuba this week. The couple, who married on April 4, 2008, took in the sights of Old Havana, visited a school, dined on a rooftop terrace and strolled the fan-filled streets in their island best.(snip).The power couple declined to answer journalists´ questions about their visit to the island nation, but some outlets are reporting that the moguls are there as tourists, though that would be illegal because of the half-century embargo the U.S. has on the Communist country. However, the Miami Herald said Washington has issued special licenses for
