Was Patreus head of the same CIA that's pushing us to war with Iran and

pushed us to the BS war with Iraq after we were attacked by a bunch of Saudis on 9-11, or was he head of a real intelligence agency that acts on facts not emotions?

We saw how the unhinged have had a non-stop hard-on about Benghazi since their "Fast & Furious" scam fell apart. Even Willard was on board that there was some evil, nasty cover-up going on...and I kept hearing from the braindead from Bullshit Mountain that there was surely another shoe to drop in the "scandal". Maybe they were expecting Petraeus to drop some kind of bomb or leak a report showing that President Obama was directing the attack on the compound or something else that would have made big headlines and helped sweep Willard into the Oval Office. The fact Petraeus didn't led to someone dropping the dime on him after he was no longer of value to the failed Rmoney campaign. He didn't come through and thus he was made a scapegoat. Maybe a Rover or some other operative who needed to take the heat of their role in the election debacle needed to create a distraction. Hell...if we're going to speculate, let's get creative...

well-timed. Also diverting attention from analysis of the historic failure of the RepugliCon party. And making immediate trouble for the administration.

Whatever obstructs and disrupts.
