Editor's notes:   Before the general elections of 2014,  Four Star General,  Petraeus,  was prepared to testify to the al Qaeda element in the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi.  That testimony never happened because the Administration illegally hacked in the General's email account and found 35,000 emails addressed to his mistress.  

 

Months later,  the Administration continues to work to silence the General, per a report,  here.  Knowing that the damage has been done,  the good General has decided to speak up and against the Administration's self-serving claims that Iran is our friend.  In recent days,  Obama has decided that Iran is no longer a terror state,  officially taking it off the list terror states,  and is feverishly working to strengthen Iran's nuclear capabilities  (oh yes he is).  

Petraeus,  realizing the damage being done by Hussein Obama and his Iranian born personal assistant,  Valerie Jarrett,  has decided to speak up.  The silence is over.   Time will tell if his influence,  in this matter,  will add to the Congressional opposition to Obama,  in this matter  (120 Democrats signed onto a letter to Obama demanding that he not exclude Congress from his dealings with Iran).
