Fixed it for ya.. Let the drama continue

Just because a person wears a tin foil hat doesn't make them automatically wrong just fashion impaired.

I do find it interesting that we have 2 high profile resignations just after a successful reelection campaign. Is something treacherous afoot?

Is it Libya and the shenanigans there?

I don't know but it does seem odd.

Hilary has said she would only serve one term for quite some time. She is the most traveled Sec of Statem in history if I remember reading correctly and I would not be surprised if she was tired. If you look at history there is always a small changing of the guard after the 1st term. Bush had a few, Clinton had a few and I believe Reagan had a few.

Unless someone has proof to back up claims of conspiracy, the foil hat is a bit more then a fashion statement.

Factor in the rumors of Holder quiting too and then who knows? You're essentially correct in that there is always a bit of turnover second term. The Libya/Benghaz "thing" has gotten some traction and the resignations seem to be connected to people involved or have knowledge of what happened.

Tightening the foil for a moment is it possible that the General and Mrs Clinton are pissed off enough to try to throw Obama under the bus?

Yet. Wait until his wife gets hold of him

From the linky:

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA," Petraeus wrote. "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. This afternoon, the President graciously accepted my resignation."

Probably wanted to avoid the witch hunt that Newt (adulterer and GOP hopeful) did to Clinton.
Seems logical to me.

If Leon Panetta suddenly retires or dies, I'll consider that there's a conspiracy...

B O's gonna' appoint (uncle) Bobby CRANDALL as Sec. of State !
(And he'd PISS-OFF all of the U S enemy's in a New York minute) !

Oooooh boy. Here comes the fun, huh.

I see it in a completely different context. What we have witnessed, I believe, is just theater for the masses. I guessing what really happened was something akin to Obama learning about some sort of betrayus Petraeus during the course of his presidency. Since O didn't know for certain wether or not he would be reelected he did what was best for his re-election Biden bide ones time. Once he knew he won, he was able to deal with the general in a very general way. Affairs are so run of the mill and just general stuff, get it. How exactly do you reason a former President can keep his job even with a little tahdoo about a blue dress with jizz on it, yet the general has an affair and gets the boot? What else would you expect to happen on 911/2012. Oops, I mean 11/9/2012.

So now I read that some are saddened by his fall. I shall ask, how can you be so sorrowful of a General leaving as head of the CIA, when the CIA is charged with keeping our country's greatest secrets. One would think and believe that keeping an affair a pretty easy secret to keep, eh? The tin foil hat folks can see through this, why can't you? Though even the tin foil hat folks know not to wear those things.

Now that the election is over and won, o has the ability to let the other shoe drop as he pleases.

There's your conspiracy for you...not right on cue, but is anything these days? The answer is for some, yes, just not for most of you.

Were the Tin foil hat club simply because Barrack walks on water and the masses are considered blessed just by mention of the Annointed One's name !
How dare you infadels consider that Barrack has ever lied, covered up a Fu%! up or even that he might be a, get ready....................socialist !
Off with your tin-foiled hatted heads.............infidels !

 

[Glenn Quagmire]

An extramarital affair is cause for pulling a top secret clearance. No top secret clearance, no ability to be told anything....well...top secret, therefore, no ability to be the Director of the CIA.
