Heroes

1-Gen. MacAuthur once said "old soldiers don't die, they just fade away". Gen. Petraeus neither died nor is going to fade away soon. I believe this is just a side show of the Benghazi Crisis, now over two months old. It brings up deeper issues how did Petraeus become the CIA director in the first place. Most of the details had to of been flushed out during his vetting by officials up the food chain to the POTUSA < Sept,2011. I believe the timing of Petraeus resignation is the clue. After the election and before the reconvening of the House and Senate investigations into the deaths of four American State Department personnal in Benghazi,Libya. Petraeus's 2nd in command at CIA to testify in his stead initially, but Petraeus, a US citizen, will be ordered by the Congress to testify later. If one had the blues after Nov 6 election results, this story will entertain and disclose corruption up and down the pp administration. Revenge is ours! 2-Hurricane Sandy, as Chris Matthews MSNBC said, bring a degree of politics into the game. Gosh it sure does, but reality showed up between when pp walked on the Jersey shore with the tub of lard NJ govenor assuring this proplem will be resolved like magic, to another tub of lard, the Homeland Security Secretary, landed on the beaches in NJ over the week end. The NY govenor and NYC are just if not worse than NT. Estimates started at $50B but that was before a multiplier of 4 min. is added to the final bill. I wonder if the LDP can scratch up the bucks or will the federal budget be tapped again. Fortuniately to be cruel, it is on pp watch when this natural disaster occurred and he probably will serve through it lifecycle. 3-Noted from the local newspaper article, a story line about a Kenyan journalist who spent Oct 28 through election day operating out of the Enquirer' office. He was greatly impressed by the openness of the American election process, TV, radio, newspaper and especially social media impact. He noted while at the West Chester's Romney rally, a guy was holding a sign emblazoned with a message "Romney's the Anti-Christ'. In his country, one would be arrested and tossed in jail. Sorry dude, I was there also and saw that placard you refer, but it had a reverse side... "Obama is the Anti-Christ". Equal time, not a Kenyan connection.
