Admiral Mike Mullen: “Petraeus set the gold standard for wartime command in the modern era.”

General David Howell Petraeus (born November 7, 1952) is the current Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was sworn in on September 6, 2011.[1] Prior to his assuming the directorship of the CIA, Petraeus was a four-star general serving over 37 years in the United States Army. His last assignments in the Army were as commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and Commander, U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) from July 4, 2010 to July 18, 2011. His other four-star assignments include serving as the 10th Commander, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) from October 13, 2008, to June 30, 2010, and as Commanding General, Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF-I) from February 10, 2007, to September 16, 2008.[2] As commander of MNF-I, Petraeus oversaw all coalition forces in Iraq.[3][4]
Petraeus has a B.S. degree from the United States Military Academy, from which he graduated in 1974 as a distinguished cadet (top 5% of his class). He was the General George C. Marshall Award winner as the top graduate of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College class of 1983.[5] He subsequently earned an M.P.A. in 1985 and a Ph.D. degree in International Relations in 1987 from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. He later served as Assistant Professor of International Relations at the United States Military Academy and also completed a fellowship at Georgetown University.[6]
Breaking news on Benghazi:
A CIA spokesman, presumably at the direction of CIA director David Petraeus, has put out this statement:
“No one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. ”
So who in the government did tell “anybody” not to help those in need?
Someone decided not to send in military assets to help those Agency operators.
Would the secretary of defense make such a decision on his own? No.
It would have been a presidential decision.
There was presumably a rationale for such a decision.
What was it? When and why—and based on whose counsel obtained in what meetings or conversations—did President Obama decide against sending in military assets to help the Americans in need?

I guess there’s blame for everyone. How about Darrel Isa and the other Republicans in Congress that refused to vote for the funds for the extra security?

Personally I rather see Barrack HUSSEIN Obama tossed out of the White House rather than thrown under the Bus.
America we can legally toss Barrack HUSSEIN Obama out of the White House on November 6th.
But we would be nice and give Barrack HUSSEIN Obama until sometime in January of 2013 to get all of his stuff out of the White house.

I’d much rather see Barrack HUSSEIN Obama thrown out of the White House than throw under any bus.
