Did Broadwell Divulge Classified Information?

That is just one of the burning questions surrounding the revelation that David Petraeus was having an affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell. Politico has the story with a video shot of Broadwell discussing her professional position at the time.

In addition the Arutz Sheva link quoting her statements at the University of Denver on October 26 is backed up by the video, which was shown by Andrea Mitchell this morning on MSNBC. Breitbart also has a report on the Denver statements here.

Here is one important point. Moralizing aside, when you are in a position like director of the CIA, you cannot leave yourself open to blackmail. What if he had been president of the United States, be jeezus?



Strike that.

That reminds me of the time Dick "Bum Scoop" Morris was Clinton's adviser in the White House. Dickie was cavorting with some call girl in his Washington penthouse, and letting her listen in on his conversations with the President.



We also need to know why the FBI didn't (reportedly) advise President Obama about the Petraeus affair until just before the announcement came out. Are you really going to believe that the FBI was investigating an affair involving the director of the CIA and that crazy e-mails were flying around from this woman that might affect national security that the president was the last to know? I don't buy that. More plausible is a scenario that the White House/President were told and held it until after the election. With the election secured and Petraeus scheduled to appear before Congress and tell them what he knew about Benghazi this very Thursday, the hammer fell. According to the below Wall Street Journal report, the FBI was involved in this case during the summer.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media, led by MSNBC, is trying to keep Obama out of this. Unfortunately for them, there is the salacious aspect of this scandal-a SEX scandal- that will fuel the public interest.

I do feel bad for Petraeus. It is sad to see such a great  career ended in this manner. He does have a duty to the nation, however, to be forthcoming about Benghazi that does not end with his resignation.

I wonder how long it will be before Obama claims Executive Privilege.

Breaking!!! The White House has just announced that we are instituting a new National Anthem. It is beautiful; it is stirring, and is perfect for a new progressive America under the leadership of President Barack Obama.

Here it is.

All hail President Obama!

And now I think I will enjoy a bottle or two of vodka.

It Has Begun...

If you were wondering what the first move the Obama Regime would be, wait no longer.  It is the US Constitution and the 2nd Amendment.

Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, the United States backed a U.N. committee's call on Wednesday to renew debate over a draft international treaty to regulate the $70 billion global conventional arms trade.

U.N. delegates and gun control activists have complained that talks collapsed in July largely because Obama feared attacks from Republican rival Mitt Romney if his administration was seen as supporting the pact, a charge Washington denies.

The month-long talks at U.N. headquarters broke off after the United States - along with Russia and other major arms producers - said it had problems with the draft treaty and asked for more time.

But the U.N. General Assembly's disarmament committee moved quickly after Obama's win to approve a resolution calling for a new round of talks March 18-28. It passed with 157 votes in favor, none against and 18 abstentions.

U.N. diplomats said the vote had been expected before Tuesday's U.S. presidential election but was delayed due to Superstorm Sandy, which caused a three-day closure of the United Nations last week.

An official at the U.S. mission said Washington's objectives have not changed.

"We seek a treaty that contributes to international security by fighting illicit arms trafficking and proliferation, protects the sovereign right of states to conduct legitimate arms trade, and meets the concerns that we have been articulating throughout," the official said.

"We will not accept any treaty that infringes on the constitutional rights of our citizens to bear arms," he said.

U.S. officials have acknowledged privately that the treaty under discussion would have no effect on domestic gun sales and ownership because it would apply only to exports.

The main reason the arms trade talks are taking place at all is that the United States - the world's biggest arms trader accounting for more than 40 percent of global conventional arms transfers - reversed U.S. policy on the issue after Obama was first elected and decided in 2009 to support a treaty.

Countries that abstained included Russia, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Sudan, Belarus, Cuba and Iran. China, a major arms producer that has traditionally abstained, voted in favor.

Among the top six arms-exporting nations, Russia cast the only abstention. Britain, France and Germany joined China and the United States in support of the resolution.

The measure now goes to the 193-nation General Assembly for a formal vote. It is expected to pass.

The resolution said countries are "determined to build on the progress made to date towards the adoption of a strong, balanced and effective Arms Trade Treaty."

Jeff Abramson, director of Control Arms, a coalition of advocacy groups, urged states to agree on stringent provisions.

"In Syria, we have seen the death toll rise well over 30,000, with weapons and ammunition pouring in the country for months now," he said. "We need a treaty that will set tough rules to control the arms trade, that will save lives and truly make the world a better place."

Brian Wood of Amnesty International said: "After today's resounding vote, if the larger arms trading countries show real political will in the negotiations, we're only months away from securing a new global deal that has the potential to stop weapons reaching those who seriously abuse human rights."

The treaty would require states to make respecting human rights a criterion for allowing arms exports.

Britain's U.N. mission said on its Twitter feed it hoped that the March negotiations would yield the final text of a treaty. Such a pact would then need to be ratified by the individual signatories before it could enter into force.

The National Rifle Association, the powerful U.S. interest group, strongly opposes the arms treaty and had endorsed Romney.

The United States has denied it sought to delay negotiations for political reasons, saying it had genuine problems with the draft as written.

Every dictatorship first removes private gun ownership.  It is the only way that the dictator can guarantee that he will be safe from armed revolution by the population.

This treaty is in direct violation of the Second Amendment.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Yet this treaty puts limits on our gun ownership rights.

How many of these "treaties" of these violations of our basic and universal rights will we accept before we cry ENOUGH?  What will it take before we finally become too angered?

It Is Over!

That is the election.  Now comes the harder part of governing.  Barack Hussein Obama running one of the dirtiest campaigns in history, has pulled out a victory over Willard "Mitt" Romney.  We will have 4 more years of Obama, his spending spree, his destruction of our military, his executive orders, etc.  4 more years in which he will try to turn us into Greece and instill into us an Nanny State.

We can stop him and the Democrats cold!

We need to remind our Congressmen that they hold the purse strings.  That they need to keep a tight control on the purse strings.  Make sure they do not raise the debt ceiling any more.  Insist on a budget.   We have power.  The phone, email, letters.  Inundate their offices with messages.  Remind them of the power of the ballot box and what happened in 2010.  We will keep their feet to the fire!  The TEA Party will be back and stronger than before.

This nation is  236 years old.  We have survived 2 wars with Great Britain, 1 Civil War, 1 War with the Indians, 1 War with Mexico, 1 War with Spain, 2 World Wars, 1 War with Korea, 1 War in Vietnam, 2 Wars in the Gulf, a multitudes of depressions, recessions, economic bubbles, 9/11, multiple scandals, and bad Presidents.

WE WILL SURVIVE OBAMA TOO!!!!

That I promise you.  That I swear we will do!

Remember that and get ready to raise Hell!

KROFT: Mr. President, this morning you went out of your way to avoid the use of the word terrorism in connection with the Libya Attack, do you believe that this was a terrorism attack?

  

 OBAMA: Well it’s too early to tell exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.  And we are going to be working with the Libyan government to make sure that we bring these folks to justice, one way or the other.  

KROFT: It’s been described as a mob action, but there are reports that they were very heavily armed with grenades, that doesn’t sound like your normal demonstration.

   

OBAMA:  As I said, we’re still investigating exactly what happened, I don’t want to jump the gun on this.   But your right that this is not a situation that was exactly the same as what happened in Egypt.  And my suspicion is there are folks involved in this. Who were looking to target Americans from the start.  So we’re gonna make sure that our first priority is to get our folks out safe, make sure our embassies are secured around the world and then we are going to go after those folks who carried this ou

Isn't it amazing how the media clips and edits to give the best possible spin to their favored side (Obama and the Democrats)? In this case, Fox's Bret Baier discloses how CBS has just now released a previously unshown clip of their interview with President Obama on September 12, hours after that Rose Garden interview. It seems that after that debate dispute on whether Obama had called Benghazi an act of terrorism on September 12, CBS did some editing to avoid the appearance that their interviewer, Steve Kroft, had actually challenged Obama for not calling it terrorism.

http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/11/05/what-president-obama-really-said-60-minutes-interview-about-benghazi/

Clearly, on September 12, after the Rose Garden appearance by the President, Steve Kroft did not have the impression that the President had called it an act of terror, rather he had "gone out of his way" not to use the term.

So now, a couple of days before the election, CBS releases this latest clip (without fanfare) probably to cover their asses before Baier or someone else blew the top off their deceit.

Irma La Douce Talks About Her First Time

Bon jour.  This is Irma, and I want to tell you about my first time. I remember my first customer when I got into this business. He was everything a first customer should be. He was such a smooth talker that he talked his way right up the stairs and into my boudoir.

But don't think that he was cheap when it came to money. He was a big spender, indeed. I don't know where all that money came from, but who's complainin'?

And he cared about me and my well-being. He made sure I had everything I needed to keep from getting any diseases. He even supplied me with my condoms and birth control pills.

What a guy!




"Thank heaven for leetle girls"

That's why I'm hoping you Americans re-elect Barack Obama. He reminds me of my very first time. In fact, all of France is hoping Obama wins. So make us Frenchies happy and re-elect Barack Obama.

EU Making Blasphemy Deal With OIC and Arab League

According to the below article by Egypt Independent,  the European Union is in negations with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Arab league and the African Union to pass laws against blasphemy against Islam.

http://www.egyptindependent.com/news/arab-league-eyes-blasphemy-bill-syria-solution

Meanwhile, as we speak, religious minorities in Islamic countries are being persecuted-not the least of which are the Coptic Christians in Egypt-where this report originated. Nothing, of course, was mentioned about that in the article.

Europe, of course, has no First Amendment, as we do. People can be prosecuted for what they say. Just ask Geert Wilders in the Netherlands and Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria. Notwithstanding are freedom of speech, there is a drive through the UN to bring similar legislation to the US. Think it can't happen here?

Just ask Nakoula B. Nakoula. He still sits in jail for a "probation violation" even after we know that his video, "The Innocence of Muslims" was not the cause of what happened on September 11.
