David Petraeus and the New Style of American Politics

If you believe David Petraeus really resigned as CIA director over an extramarital affair, you probably also believe that Muhammad filmmaker Mark Basseley Youssef is in prison because of a parole violation. It is much more likely that both Petraeus and Youssef herald the dawning of a new style in American politics – or else Barack Obama is the luckiest man alive. General Petraeus is shaping up to be the fall guy of the Obama administration and the harbinger, along with Mark Basseley Youssef, of something entirely new in American politics: the elimination of the politically inconvenient by means of a pretext that satisfies a bored and indifferent populace and serves as a cover for goals altogether more sinister than is immediately apparent.

Gen. John Allen, Top Afghanistan Commander, under investigation for “inappropriate emails” with 2nd Petraeus woman (Pamela Geller)
Another top General spied on, smeared …… ruined. This is a takedown of the military. They went after and smeared the troops, now the brass. Slash and burn.
The Obama Regime is purging some of the highest military leaders in our Armed Services. Right after the Benghazi Massacre he relieved General Ham ( AfriCOM) and Admiral Gaouette (Carrier Task Froce Stennis, Mediterranean).
Politico: Marine Gen. John R. Allen, the four-star U.S. commander of the war in Afghanistan, exchanged thousands of “potentially inappropriate” emails with Jill Kelley, the Tampa woman who claimed to have been harassed by the ex-mistress of former CIA Director David Petraeus, a senior defense official told POLITICO.Allen, 58 and married, was nominated in October by President Barack Obama to be Supreme Allied Commander Europe and commander of the U.S. European Command. That nomination is now on hold, but Allen will remain commander of U.S. forces and the NATO International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan, the official said. The FBI on Sunday turned over to Pentagon lawyers 20,000 to 30,000 pages of emails exchanged by the two from 2010 to 2012.

Shrillary Clinton has confirmed she will leave. Instead of testifying in Benghazi Gate she headed off for a wine tasting in Australia, with an entourage of 150. Money no object.
Getting drunk precludes testifying about the Benghazi cover-up. How convenient she finds herself on the other side of the planet slurping down some drinks while Congress attempts to get some answers on Benghazi. (JWF)
The Commander of the US and NATO troops in Afghanistan reportedly sent 20,000 to 30,000 pages of documents to Jill Kelley in Florida. Kelley is the Petraeus family friend who was being harassed by Paula Broadwell.
The question arises: with all this Peyton Place intrigue going on, when did these guys find time to fight a war? And the answer is, they didn’t. They weren’t trying to fight a war in Afghanistan, much less win one. They were just trying to win hearts and minds — and that doesn’t take too much of one’s precious time. Just dash off another cringeworthy video sucking up to “the noble people of Afghanistan,” and you’re done for the day — dim the lights and break out the wineglasses.
But seriously, as hopeless as Allen and Petraeus have been as strategists and military men, the timing of all these revelations is exceedingly favorable to Barack Obama, as it makes it increasingly less likely that the House Foreign Affairs Committee will be able to talk to those who know the truth about what happened in Libya. Either Obama is purging the military of inconvenient elements so as to save his own skin, or he is the luckiest man alive.
“Gen. John Allen Probed in David Petraeus Scandal,” by Anthony Castellano and Luis Martinez for ABC OTUS News, November 13:
Gen. John Allen, commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, is under investigation for alleged “inappropriate communications” with Jill Kelley, the woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the woman with whom former CIA Director David Petraeus had an extramarital affair.The FBI has uncovered “potentially inappropriate” emails between Allen and Kelly, according to a senior U.S. defense official who is traveling with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. The department is reviewing between 20,000 and 30,000 documents connected to this matter, the official said. The email exchanges between Kelley and Allen took place from 2010 to 2012.
Panetta says the FBI referred the matter to the Pentagon on Sunday, according to a statement he released Tuesday while en route to Perth, Australia. Panetta says he ordered the Pentagon inspector general to investigate Allen on Monday.
Allen disputes that he has engaged in any wrongdoing in this matter, according to the official.
Allen, a four-star Marine general, succeeded Petraeus as the top American commander in Afghanistan in July 2011….

Pure drivel. Patraeus left of his own accord, preventing Obama from having his way with him. The filmmaker is no prince – convicted of bank fraud and using multiple aliases? He’s a scoundrel, no hero at all.
The drivel is all yours.
Well! He is acting just like other secret dictators in modern times, for ex. Erdogan, purging the military from abled and experiensed generals to use for personal islamic purposes the, already, headless military.
Same scenario over and over again.
USA, prepare for the coming muslim civic militia!
He is imitating Erdogan, his fellow muslim leader.
I the Shrek Shiite – 111th son of Mohameds Jewish Wife, and keeper of Koran in the Bathroom, where its Holiest purpose in Shiiteism comes to full fullfilment in the BCS Toilet Bowl of Filth give this website most Holy of Blessings in spreading the truth of Islam. I with my each wipe off my ass with the Holy Koran page have given Islam its true purpose function and purpose on the Throne of Filth where its crowning achievements of hate are realized. Nonbelievers, how we hate you let us count the ways. Shiite! SHIITE! Only through the practice of Siite on the Koran can Mohammeds words as spoken by a true illerrate unable to read his own book can reach the dignity it deserves. May you Shiite on the Throne of Mohameds illiterate writings, only a true Shiite illiterate can appreciate the Shiite in the Koran. If not for the Shiite, no one would appreciate the dignity afforded to an illiterate writer based on ideas amazingly identical, my miracle to those in Talmud, Bible, and Christian sources. O how false those religions must be to have contained Mohameds Prophet, see, since he was illiterate its not possible that someone else wrote it and he would have read and corrected it, after all an illiterate Prophet need not proofread his text if his “Messenger’s Scribe” says he wrote whate he said, then what difference would it matter that he can’t read it to see if what they wrote was actually what he said. Fa t Wat A reason would you believe any illiterate man could write anything if he can’t write, if they say he said it matters not if he could actually read it, especially when its written after he died, and it says all written before in Bible was a lie, he knows, because he could not read was written so it must be the word of an illiterate over the word on thousands of years of prior scripture to be believed. Makes perfect sense to those who want to believe in a right to abuse teenage girls, murder and steal from minorities in their midst, and have a license to steal, murder, rape, and plunder Ala Cart.
‘SUPERB’ OFFICER REBRANDED ‘OBJECTIONABLE’ AFTER MUSLIMS COMPLAIN
Law firm defending instructor after Islam material purged

The plaudits in the military records regarding the performance of one Lt. Col. Matthew Dooley, a 1994 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, are startling:
“Exceptionally superb performance from a professional, innovative and enthusiastic officer”
“He is clearly the best of our new instructors … already cited by his students as an outstanding instructor. … A must select for battalion command. … Dooley possesses unlimited potential to serve in positions of much higher authority.”
“Unquestionably among the most dedicated and hard working officers I have ever known. … He can always be counted on to deliver top-north results. Select immediately for battalion/squadron command. Unsurpassed potential for future promotion and service.
“Absolutely spectacular officer. … He has the highest work ethic of any officer in this command.”
These, then, were the military’s own descriptions of Dooley in the service periods leading up to a complaint by Muslims that he was teaching “Perspectives on Islam and Islamic Radicalism” at the National Defense University.
Then, according to Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who “publicly excoriated” the officer at a public news conference, Dooley’s teaching was “totally objectionable” and “against our values.”
Dooley was ordered fired from his instructor’s position and given a negative Officer Evaluation Report, a death knell for a military career.
The Thomas More Law Center has agreed to represent Dooley in his battle over the abrupt change in attitude on the part of the military. The legal advocacy group said it decided to release a number of documents about the officer “to give the public an idea of the loss to the army and our nation.”
Like many of his peers serving alongside him in the military, Lt. Col. Dooley has served honorably and with distinction through a number of complex operating environments, Thomas More explained.
Evaluations are required at least once a year and are normally completed by two superiors, a rater and a senior rater.
“As is clearly shown by the OERs below, Lt. Col. Dooley’s raters and senior raters all considered him an outstanding officer and advocated his rapid promotion and advancement to the highest levels of responsibility,” the legal group said.
It was during a May 10 news conference when Dempsey attacked Dooley because of Muslim complaints about the military’s references to Islam in its various training courses.
Dempsey ordered “all material offensive to Islam” scrubbed from military training.
“As you read his OERs, I’m sure you came to several conclusions about Matt Dooley,” said Richard Thompson, chief counsel for the law center. “First, he was an outstanding officer and had a brilliant career ahead of him. Secondly, he loyally served every one of his commanders. Third, he was respected by the men under his command. And lastly, his superiors at the Joint Forces Staff College considered him an outstanding instructor. It’s sad that after all he has done for his country and the Army, his superiors sacrificed him to the dogs of political correctness.”
Dooley has served the U.S. in Bosnia, Kuwait and Iraq in dozens of positions, including tank platoon leader, tank company executive officer, tank company commander and headquarters company commander.
Thompson said the Pentagon’s behavior was triggered by complaints from Muslims. He said Dooley’s commanders “violated not only our nation’s core principles of free speech and academic freedom guaranteed by our Constitution, but also, a number of the military’s own regulations dealing with academic freedom and non-attribution policies of the National Defense University.”
“They violated the right to due process of law and even bypassed the university’s provost, who under NDU’s own rules has primary responsibility for adjudication of this matter,” he said.
The Thomas More Law Center called Dempsey’s rant “astonishing and unprecedented,” noting Dempsey personally attacked “a subordinate Army officer who honorably served our nation, and was subsequently prohibited from publicly defending himself. ”
“The final bastion of America’s defense against Islamic jihad and Shariah, the Pentagon, fell to the enemy,” commented Claire M. Lopez, a former CIA agent and strategic policy and intelligence expert.
She noted Dempsey reissued his earlier order that all Department of Defense course content “be scrubbed to ensure no lingering remnant of disrespect to Islam.”
The Thomas More Law Center said Dooley was grappling in class with the most dangerous aspects of radical Islamist ideology and encouraged students to debate the issues openly, using “prior-approved course content, established guest speakers and doctrinal teaching methodologies.”
But a letter from Islamic groups, including some with known links to terrorism, demanded that all government training materials be purged, a mandatory retraining program be instituted and punishment be instituted for “bigoted trainers” who would use “biased training materials.”
The groups included the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Islamic Circle of North American and Islamic Relief USA.
Among the information cited as damaging was an FBI report that explained individuals who convert to Islam and suddenly begin wearing Muslim attire, growing beards and travel to Muslim countries could become radicalized.
Texts that were deemed biased included Robert Spencer’s “The Truth About Mohammed: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion.”
“The result is certain,” Thomas More said in a statement. “Officers and instructors see what has happened to Lt. Col. Dooley, and will refrain from telling the truth about Islam or confronting the difficult strategic challenges facing our nation for fear of jeopardizing their professional careers. The Pentagon has still apparently not learned from the politically correct policies that led to the Fort Hood massacre.”
The legal team said enforcement of a political correct perspective is dangerous.
“Those people who subscribe and enforce the current environment of political correctness are the ones most often surprised by incidents like the terrorism at Fort Hood and the uncivilized behavior currently roiling North Africa and the Middle East,” the law team said.
“Rather than thinking and acting bravely, PC’ers strike at our cherished First Amendment in a vain hope of buying friendship with a force we still do not understand that neither respects us nor appreciates civility.”
The law firm, which noted Dooley’s family was targeted by threats, said the case illustrates the consequences of “prejudicial statements” from military commanders.
“Betrayed by his military chain of command, all of whom refused to stand behind their own academic freedom and non-attribution regulations, Lt. Col. Dooley stands alone in his association with what had been previously acceptable methods of educational inquiry.”
