Not that I would've thought an army general would've been a good seat as CIA director, but with her sitting there it would seem the position itself had been totally compromised. It would be completely obvious & if so would only lead me to believe they are running seriously low on remaining cards in their fixed deck, if you know what I mean.

How do you find this stuff, LS?

When former CIA chief David Petraeus enraged the Israel lobby


There has been fulsome praise for General David Petraeus since he resigned yesterday as head of the CIA after the FBI discovered he was having an extramarital affair (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/10/us/citing-affair-petraeus-resigns-as-cia-director.html).
President Barack Obama (http://electronicintifada.net/tags/barack-obama) lauded Petraeus’s decades of “extraordinary service (http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/11/09/statement-president-obama-resignation-cia-director-david-petraeus),” which includes his time as general in charge of US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and as head of the CIA, where Petraeus would have been in charge of Obama’s “secret” drone program which kills children and other civilians (http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/photos-pakistan-drone-war/) in several countries with no oversight or control from anyone (http://www.salon.com/2012/04/19/americas_drone_sickness/).
Some have lamented, via social media, that wars, occupations, assassinations are not reasons to lose one’s job in the United States government. Indeed, such service gets you praised and promoted, while an extramarital affair will kill your career.
But what also struck me was the total absence in the extensive media coverage of another way Petraeus made a little history: by publicly criticizing Israel and enraging the Israel lobby.
Israel, a liability to the US?

In March 2010, when Petraeus was still head of the US Central Command, he gave testimony (http://www.armed-services.senate.gov/statemnt/2010/03%20March/Petraeus%2003-16-10.pdf) to the Senate Armed Services Committee which included this observation about one of the “challenges to security and stability” faced by the United States:
The enduring hostilities between Israel and some of its neighbors present distinct challenges to our ability to advance our interests in the AOR [Area of Operations]. Israeli-Palestinian tensions often flare into violence and large-scale armed confrontations. The conflict foments anti-American sentiment, due to a perception of U.S. favoritism for Israel. Arab anger over the Palestinian question limits the strength and depth of U.S. partnerships with governments and peoples in the AOR and weakens the legitimacy of moderate regimes in the Arab world. Meanwhile, al-Qaeda and other militant groups exploit that anger to mobilize support. The conflict also gives Iran influence in the Arab world through its clients, Lebanese Hizballah and Hamas.

Abe Foxman (http://electronicintifada.net/tags/abraham-foxman), National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (http://electronicintifada.net/tags/adl), one of the leading American Zionist lobby groups, was so alarmed he issued a statement (http://www.lobelog.com/foxman-takes-a-swing-at-petraeus/) condemning Petraeus’ testimony, asserting in part of it:
Gen. Petraeus has simply erred in linking the challenges faced by the U.S. and coalition forces in the region to a solution of the Israeli-Arab conflict, and blaming extremist activities on the absence of peace and the perceived U.S. favoritism for Israel. This linkage is dangerous and counterproductive.

What Foxman and other Israel lobbyists (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/weekinreview/06cooper.html) understood correctly was that Petraeus was articulating a view that is increasingly common within the US establishment, but is an absolute taboo when it comes to stating it publicly: that US “interests” and Israeli “interests” are not identical, and that Israel might be a strategic burden, rather than an asset to the United States.
But while Foxman fulminated, Petraeus’ view struck a chord with at least some in Israel. A few months after Petraeus spoke to the Senate, Israel’s Mossad (http://electronicintifada.net/tags/mossad) chief Meir Dagan (http://electronicintifada.net/tags/meir-dagan), told a Knesset committee (http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/mossad-chief-israel-gradually-becoming-burden-on-u-s-1.293540) that, “Israel is gradually turning from an asset to the United States to a burden.”
Of course Obama appointed Petraeus as CIA director after he made his Senate statement about Israel. And that too might have been a count against Obama in the false Republican and ultra-Zionist narrative that Obama threw Israel under the bus (http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/08/16/obama_has_been_good_for_israel).
Petraeus was not speaking from any love of the Palestinians, nor any position of principle or concern for justice – no one should make that mistake. He was speaking from the same cold calculation of how to maintain and advance US imperial domination that allowed him to oversee – on behalf of the president – wars, occupations and murders of children and teenagers and other civilians all over the world using drones. That is precisely what scared the Israel lobby.

Due to being accused of not contributing much by previous & semi-respected forum posters, I'm offering a bit of history for Petraeus.

This took me all of 15 minutes to find due to my Google & Bing search engines constantly reconfiguring themselves to my locale in Spanish searches.

Even if I set it to stay in English, my chica will get on the machine & set it back. Trust me I have the perfect excuse for laziness of original content in all cases... :)

Complaints exposed Petraeus affair

The FBI investigation that uncovered the extramarital affair leading to the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus began after a woman complained to law enforcement officials about harassing emails.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation traced the emails to Paula Broadwell, the author of a Petraeus biography identified as having the affair with him, according to two officials briefed on the probe.
http://images.theage.com.au/2012/11/11/3786860/art-353-Broadwell2-300x0.jpg

They say her messages warned another woman to stay away from General Petraeus.

In their probe, investigators stumbled across extensive online correspondence between Broadwell and Petraeus, most and perhaps all of it using their respective gmail accounts.

Within weeks, one of the most decorated retired generals in the US and chief of the leading spy agency was submitting his resignation to a re-elected President Barack Obama.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus, 60, wrote yesterday to Central Intelligence Agency employees.

"Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."

Despite the national security concerns raised by the disclosure, one official said, General Petraeus's downfall reads more like a soap opera than a spy novel.

Concerned after discovering correspondence because of an earlier Chinese hack into the Googl email service, which the McAfee internet security company dubbed "Operation Aurora," the FBI was investigating whether General Petraeus's private or CIA email accounts had been compromised, the official said.

They so far have found no evidence of a security breach, any loss of classified material or any evidence that another foreign power was aware of General Petraeus's infidelity, which the official said could have exposed him to blackmail.

Three people, all intelligence, military or congressional officials, have identified Ms Broadwell, who wrote All In: The Education of David Petraeus, as the woman who had an affair with General Petraeus.

She "looks" Khazar, co-authored a book with a likely Khazar. Just sayin'

However I think this is a cover story, there is something else going on.

You do the math.

There was a second woman involved. I was reading yesterday. I was going to post but got distracted. There is not much info on the second woman. So this second woman seems to have been the one to close the trap as it were. Guy was setup using two women who appear to be of similar ilk.

I'm wondering if Obama is throwing out the old garbage now that he got re-elected.

[PlatinumBlonde]

This what I said on another thread---I think we'll know more when Petaerus is replaced. I think the Khazars are getting their ducks in a row for what comes next. As for now getting rid of any sort of opposition is essencial.

Also, is it my imagination or is Barry replacing white high level military brass with non-whites?(see Africom command)

And the second woman has an identical twin. Yiiikes. I think they're calling her the third woman involved in the story.

High level brass in the U.S. actually starts to think that they are responsible for something militarily and strategically, this most likely leads to conflicts in the case of Israel and the mideast.

And so Obama himself didn't start to feel he knew too much the the lay of his land, they shake it up.

I'm interested in the popular stories list there: 25 self potraits drawn on 25 different drugs. I'm assuming those were one at a time. Although if you took 25 difrerent drugs at once you might be able to do 25 self portraits at once. I wonder if they were all on separate canvases or if they did them all at once on the same canvas. These are important questions.

Retired Gen. David Petraeus may be retroactively demoted for giving classified information to his biographer-turned-mistress while he was still in office, according to a Daily Beast report published Monday. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter will consider whether to overrule the Army's recommendation to maintain Petraeus' rank.

“The secretary is considering going in a different direction” from the Army, a defense official told The Daily Beast, requesting anonymity. The official said if Petraeus is demoted, it will be because Carter wants to send a message about senior officials involved in misconduct.

A demotion would result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines for the former CIA director, according to the Daily Beast. Petraeus met Paula Broadwell in 2006 when she was a graduate student and then again when she started a case study on the military official in 2008, according to USA Today. Their affair began after Petraeus became CIA director in 2011, while Broadwell was starting her biography of him, "All In: The Education of David Petraeus."

The affair was revealed shortly after one of Petraeus' friends, Jill Kelley, reported to the FBI in 2012 that she had received harassing emails. Authorities found Broadwell was the one behind them and that she and Petraeus were involved in a sexual relationship. It was also revealed that Petraeus had given Broadwell notebooks full of classified information from his time as the top commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Petraeus resigned, was put on probation for two years and was fined $100,00 for pleading guilty to sharing classified information.

Petraeus spoke before the Senate Armed Services Committee in September to apologize. "Four years ago, I made a serious mistake — one that brought discredit on me and pain to those closest to me," he said. "It was a violation of the trust placed in me and a breach of the values to which I had been committed throughout my life."
