These revelations should be enough to justifiably scuttle John Brennan´s nomination.

He was brought down by his own actions.

an army of one

obama is starting wars everywhere he can

But, garsh! I thought they was a´choosin me a ´cuz I were on the other sahd! You know! Ah weren´t no way a´gonner be no thet thar other party!

I said from the beginning that it was fishy that the FBI would put so much effort into a Fl. socialite´s complaint. Now we see the real reason,Petraeus was sold out by career agents at the CIA.

Then you have Brennan carrying out secret attacks behind the scenes with nobody knowing about them. This should make his nomination hearings very interesting.

All this just shows what a bunch of renegades we have running this country and foreign policy. Panetta was a stooge to get gays an uptick along with women in combat,two long time gripes by left wing activists.

Obama now wants a 1% raise for government workers while cutting military pay.

I still think the drone strike in Yemen was fishy also and even more so because the Saudis gave Obama a launch site.

Kind of explains why Panetta and the Joint Chief never heard from Obama, the WH or the State Dept after the afternoon breif. Brennan was running the show from the White House.

Petraeus is done ... it´s Brennan who´s the real focus of the article, despite the title.

The Webb/Murphy ebook should bring down Brennan´s nomination to DCIA.

It should bring down Obama for dereliction of duty too. It is clear that Obama takes absolutely no responsibility for foreign operations, except when post facto he grabs credit for successful ops.

...this is a narrative that makes sense and lends an explanation to many of the various actions that have taken place...

...I can understand Petraeus not being a good fit for the CIA culture, but Brennan running operations "off the books" with White House approval raises red flags that need to be flying on 0bama´s doorstep...

...too many examples of chief executive totally detached while others run amok...

Those nasty CIA guys kept making him drop his drawers. s/o

I don´t particularly care how he was brought down. He needed to be brought down, and he was, which is a good thing.

I am sad about Petraeus´s downfall, but he really has only himself to blame.

Petraeus brought himself down. You can´t easily hide dirty secrets from an agency whose primary job is spying. He was a good soldier but got too big for his uniform.

As for Obama, his day will come. The sham presidency is starting to unravel, one string at a time.

If they could only bring down this current administration....

I hope the book is more about Benghazi and who is responsible than the straying general. If not, then perhaps the general´s fall is more deflection than anything else.

John Brennan´s nomination, 1? Why not the whole Obama House of Cards?

I don´t see Petraeus as anything other than a company man. He didn´t resign when ordered to follow Rules of Engagement that would add significantly to the death toll of American troops. Long ago he went along with the Pentagon myth regarding how Pat Tillman was shot. His downfall was the downfall of his zipper.

As for Brennan, he´s a typical slimy creature who would willingly work for this America hating creature in our White House.

Brennan has gone rougue in the ugliest way. There is no leadership at the top so he filled the vacuum.

The mystery is why we suddenly decided to lead from behind in Libya and remove Kaddaffi in days not weeks. (remember that)

The jihadists in Libya are now spread throughout the arab world creating havoc. Starvation, murders, and a return to the dark ages for the citizens.

Every administration has had covert operations. The difference now is that Obama´s apparatchiks are arming and supporting the enemies of the United States. And Brennan is Apparatchik #1.

No way of knowing if any of this is true, but this is what happens when you decide you´d rather be a politician than a general.

I joing the chorus also; sad though it is, if Petraeus had NOT had the affair, it could not have been discovered.

and all along I was thinking it was a classic honey pot operation orchestrated out of the W.H. Instead it was the old boys at Langley. The CIA KGB Operations during the Cold War would be proud. If we had a real Media in this country instead of a propaganda arm of the Democrats this would be bringing down the Administration. Unfortunately we don´t so it won´t.

To what end? Why ? Nothing new about political generals and politics in general but we deserve an outline of where this is to lead... Why are we backing the worst choices ? Treason ?

# 3 and # 11 are correct. Patraeus brought this on himself due to his own dishonorable actions.

Yet, I can´t seem to cheer for those who undermined him. There seems to be a massive void in leadership within our government.

*The WH and Brennan knew of Petraeus´s affair before he was even nominated to CIA...he was an alter boy figurehead for Brennan and Obama´s dirty antiAmerican Ops
.....keep in mind Brennan pulled his name back from CIA nomination before ... So he set up Petraeus in order to humiliate him while making himself look good by comparison to get confirmed...this is a sick rogue operator...and I believe a Muslim working with the Saudi´s

Brennan was doing the missile running ops out of Benghazi, arming the enemy, turning power and weapons to The Muslim Brotherhood

The complaint the CIA wasn´t political enough. IT´S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE POLITICAL AT ALL.


(Deputy National Security Advisor) John Brennan also ran a highly compartmentalized program out of the White House in regard to weapons transfers, and Stevens would not have been trusted with that type of information. Stevens likely helped consolidate as many weapons as possible after the war to safeguard them, at which point Brennan exported them overseas to start another conflict.

Stevens had secretly met with Inhoef the week before his death...probably to report on missile running by Obama and Brennan and Thetis secret illegal wars

Brennan was running a rogue CIA from the White House


.

As Rand Paul questions revealed this was suspected about the weapons running....


The Senate hearings on Brennan in light of this truth... reveal the obsequious Feinstein, Rockefeller, Levin, McCaskill, to be Morons of the first order..... who by no means belong directing anything in this country... Either old stupid fools or Communists

Mission impossible: you have a popular general who is on the other side. How do you keep him from running for President? Give him a top job in order to topple him. They knew about this weakness when he got the job.

Yes #8, and Brennan´s role is coming out just at the time he wants to be confirmed. Sounds like some don´t care for him either.

Petraeus more than anyone else secured Obama´s re-election when he gave misleading testimony supporting the nonsense video excuse for the Bengazhi attack in front of the Senate a few days after the outrage. His reputation neutered the Senate critics, who were enraged at Petraeus´s dishonesty, but could not go after him because he was a sacred cow.

Petraeus betrayed his country, although not in the way the liberals initially claimed he would do. The administration dumped him after he served his purpose of securing Obama´s re-election. Thanks to him, we have four more years of Obama.

Video on YouTube of John Guandolo, former FBI, saying Brennan converted to Islam while in Saudi Arabia.

It’s hard for me to believe that high-level career officers on the CIA” would leave Panneta in tact and purge Petraeus. (After all, these folks did go through background, security checks.) That “they didn´t like the way he (Petraeus) was running the agency - focusing more on paramilitary operations than intelligence analysis”, makes no sense, since it was Brennan who was running covert wars out of the White House. And where is the press? They sure got their panties in a twist over Iran-Contra.

Long article but worth the read. The general wasn´t perfect, but I would guess many of the critics that jumped on board about him having an affair have been or are doing the same. DC is a cesspool of corruption since worthless people vote for the bammy. I do so hope they are happy. Kind of wonder if bammy and reggie are being outed soon.

First of all - the man betrayed himself -- just as bubba clinton betrayed himself with the mouth.....

Not a surprise that the CIA and FBI didn´t like the NON/CIA/FBI person taking the "top/job"...... It happens all the time in business. The outsider should watch his back....

The fact that he didn´t and let some "tata" change the course of history -- says it all.... The man was thinking with the wrong head....

First Domino.
I expect we´ll hear more.

It sounds like the CIA is running their own little war these days and Obama is the general calling the shots or if not him, definitely someone close to him. Petraeus was put in the CIA because they thought they could control him with the affair. I think he wanted to come clean about Benghazi and that was when the WH threw him under the bus.
It is pretty scary to think the CIA is running things now because these people do not go through confirmation and seem only to be accountable to the prez. There is no light of day shed on what they are doing. The worst is, they seem to mostly be comprised of leftists with the same mindset.

I have stated mant times my questions concerning the starting of the ARAB SPRING; i.e., who initiated it, who kept it spreading, why the backing of the muslim brotherhood in all of these areas and this brings some answers to my questions.
IMO between obama, brennan and jarrett and probably a few others is where the idea was hatched.

Brennan carrying out his little game---at the suggestion, agreement, cooperation of obama certainly paints a bold outlined picture. Indeed, how rapidly the information about a 15 minute trailer on the internet was blamed for Benghazi-------that took researching and was the ready answer for obama´s actions. Not ordering any support to Benghazi could possibly answer the questions about the paranoid obama thinking Stevens had uncovered his role in the Arab Spring in so many countries and this was a convenient way to keep him quite.

OK. So Petraeus brought about his own downfall because he couldn´t keep his zipper closed. However, that information that slowly leaks out from D.C. indicates that the whole Petraeus operation was planed. Someone had to fall to provide cover for those who are and have been behind all of the trash comming out of the WH. This article begins to point out the truth. And just to remind everyone, SEALS and Green Beret´s tend to develop lifetime ties to their fellow comrads. And two former SEALS were killed in the Benghazi affair. These guys are very likely attempt to find out the who and why. So, if we take it as a given that these guys have deep contacts in the CIA and other intelligence agencies, then I tend to believe them. Especially when it looks like that Obozo does everything possible to keep someone else between himself and whatever is going, just in case something goes wrong. And it usually does when such stupidity is in charge.

Don´t start nothing

Won´t be nothing

All these things swirl and confuse, misdirect and obfuscate, but at the center of everything when you peel away all the layers is the fact that a hard-core Marxist cadre has taken over America. And it has definite Muslim leanings as well.

Well wait a minute, when Petraeus is at the CIA he is no longer in the military chain of command, is that a shock? Sounds like he didn´t realize it. How dumb was he? Also that DC is a hornet´s nest and there are no secrets there. But his real mistake, I suppose, was trying to take his job seriously, always a risk, and in the Obamanation a fatal one.

Anyone who has not read #24 needs to read his post. His analysis is more informative than the article.

For the CIA higher bureaucracy Petraeus is history, and Brennen is the potential future. Obviously the CIA suits don´t like either one of them, or the CIA being used as a private army and drone air force, that´s why this article appeared yesterday.

Bet you Louis Capone, Emanuel Weiss, Harry Strauss, and Harry Maione could have solved this whole mess in one day of "heavy lifting". Mr. Brennan is a "shaky" fellow! So, some say he converted to the Moon god belief while in Saudi Arabia - hmmmmmmmm.

Interesting read & comments.

This Brennan guy is also accused of being a convert to Islam. That would disqualify him to me.

Lindsay Graham is out on a limb about Benghazi. He has threatened to hold up some cabinet posts which makes him "political" according to many in Government. I hope he gets some support and that he stands firm.

Put Brennan in the "hold" category also. He is noxious.

The Zerobama Stench accelerates toward light speed.

It´s clear to me that he will never be able to finish his second term. Even blacks are starting to turn on him. Noticing he has a white half, I guess.

The MSM will turn, too, once they sense that their attachement to Nothingness is hurting them. I heard that Katie Couric is already throwing up in private over the whole thing.

Too bad the CIA can´t be as effective against our real enemies....

Petraeus fell for the honey pot gambit that he should have recognized and dodged.

The real story is that Obama had Brennan using the CIA to run guns to the MB and al Qaeda, an operation that makes Iran Contra look like Tidily Winks.

Couldn´t have been whistle blowing brought on by righteous indignation at the risks of pillow talk by the top guy, huh?

Vengeful or patriotic depends on the eye of the beholder. Might we call all lib mediots vengeful? Well....

#36 and #47...We have BINGO...

Ulsterman wrote this up some time ago..same as LameCherry

Apparently #35, the video was made or produced by the same person who made the Waco video... Per Ulsterman

Glen Beck noted Panetta was drawing attention to the Presidents absence and dereliction of duty on 9/11 for the reason to keep attention away from the missile running....This is but another false wall to distract...and lead us to another part of the scheme ...and a protective wall...to shield the president from claims that are coming ...of arms running to AlQaeda

When Panetta stated he, Hillary and Dempsey wanted to arm the rebels in Syria (who are AlQaeda)...but Obama disagreed...it was the beginning of the wall of protection

...as the British press reported the weapons used in Algeria in the murder/hostage situation at the BP facility....by AlQaeda.... came from Libya...Same thing Syria

Well, well, well. It´s all beginning to unravel. Of all the things that came out since 9-11-12, this makes the most sense. The puzzle pieces are beginning to make a picture now. Panetta and Hillary´s testimony was pure cr@p. None of that made sense at all, but then again it wasn´t supposed to. Of course they have been asking the wrong questions. No one thought to put John Brennan into the mix. I had a feeling that Petraeus was the key to this whole mess, and that they put him at CIA because they knew about his affair. Other than that it remained a mixture of false information eveywhere you looked. Finally someone cared enough to get out the information.

Pat Smith, you will get your answeres soon.

I love the timing of this book / article.
Hopefully, Senators on the Hill who have Brennan and Hagel in front of them incorporate this info into their questions to get real answers. Neither one deserves confirmation.

Answers to this sebacle are coming out, slowly, but they are coming out.

As for Patraeus, he is a man and as such, was vulnerable. I believe preezy wanted him at CIA to get him off the battlefield. He was an extremely good soldier and leader. He can survive.

"I believe preezy wanted him at CIA to get him off the battlefield. He was an extremely good soldier and leader. He can survive."

Of all the ribbons Petraeus wears, the Combat Infantryman´s Badge is not among them. He may have never spent an entire night on the battlefield. He is more of a politician and theoretical soldier. Should have fit right in with our theoretical president.

Obama picks Muslim to head the CIA...exFBI agent claims Brennan is Muslim convert

The Enemy Within....the White House.

Wonder what zero´s popularity is right now - and what will it be if he runs out of our money to keep his worshipers addicted to him? We sure sold ourselves out cheap didn´t we? Some cheap bennies paid for with more debt? What an unfunny joke.
