You've Got To Be Kidding Me!



Now I have heard everything.  Sit down folks.  General David Petraeus, holder of the following medals:

  • Defense Distinguished Service Medal (4)
  • Army Distinguished Service Medal (3)
  • Defense Superior Service Medal (2) Legion of Merit (4)
  • Bronze Star Medal with Valor
  • Defense Meritorious Service Medal
  • NATO Meritorious Service Medal
  • Officer of the Order of Australia
  • And many others

Has resigned because of an extra-marital affair.
CIA Director David Petraeus submitted his letter of resignation Friday, after admitting to an extramarital affair.

Petraeus, in a message to staff, said President Obama accepted his resignation after the two met on Thursday afternoon. Petraeus said that he asked "to be allowed" to step down.

"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours," Petraeus said. "This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation."

The move comes amid the unfolding controversy surrounding the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya. Scrutiny has fallen on a range of agencies including the CIA. The director had been expected to testify at hearings next week. But Petraeus, in his resignation message, cited strictly "personal reasons" surrounding his affair which until now had not been disclosed.

Obama, in a written statement, said Petraeus provided an "extraordinary service to the United States for decades."

"By any measure, he was one of the outstanding General officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges, and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end," Obama said. He said he has named Michael Morell, the agency's deputy director, to serve as acting director.

The decision abruptly ends the public-service career of one of the military's most vaunted leaders. He led the surge in Iraq, and was later tapped to lead U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan -- following two years at the helm of U.S. Central Command. In April 2011, Obama again tapped Petraeus to lead the CIA.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Petraeus' resignation "represents the loss of one of our nation's most respected public servants."

Petraeus' wife, Holly, also works in the Obama administration, for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

History teaches us that under in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin the Red Army was purged of its best officers and men.  In fact the purge nearly destroyed the Red Army and it was a real possibility that due to the purge (And killing of these men) that Germany could have destroyed the Soviet Union.

Now look to today.  First Cmdr. Joseph Darlak, captain of the frigate Vandegrift, then, Capt. Owen Honors was relieved of duty Tuesday as commander of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, then General Ham was relieved.  There is a massive Reduction in Forces happening in the military.  While civilian (union) workers are not being fired, the men and women in uniform are being basically fired.

Rumors are rampant that there was a Seven Days in May coup d'etat being planned if Obama won.  I doubt it, bum Obama is removing all and any opposition to his plans there can be.  Rumors are also rampant that this was the last free election we as a nation will ever have.  That Obama has no intention of ever giving up power and he will soon find a way to eliminate both Houses of Congress and the Supreme Court.  Why not?  Already the left has declared him G-d.

I fear the end is nearing for the United States of America.  A once proud and free nation now subjected to the whim of a dictator.  G-d help us all!

You hit the nail on the head with the Stalin comparison. I've been reading up on the rise of the Socialist Soviet Union under Lenin and then Stalin...the tactics are the same. They're only more subtle about it, and instead of having a police force wipe out opposition, they are letting the indoctrinated masses shout any down.

I don't think Obama will stay in office, but I do believe no one outside of the Stalinist regime will ever be elected again, and eventually, when the people have given up their rights enough, there will be a president become lifetime dictator.
Although personally, I think the End Times/ global disaster will happen before then. Of course, Obama could have a hand in that too....
