Obama is being "Jimmy Cartered" out of office by his Arch-Neocon CIA director....
Has Petraeus set up Obama for a 1980-style fall?
When he heard that one of his top military commanders, General David Petraeus, was talking to top GOP officials, including former Vice President Dick assassin Cheney, [ Head of the most Infamous White House Murder INC, ] in 2010 about challenging Obama for the presidency, President Obama and his advisers decided the best way to neutralize Petraeus was to make him the CIA director and take him out of the running for the presidency.... There was only one slight problem. Petraeus was nicknamed General "Betray-us" by his troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for a reason. If Petraeus, a "think tank" general, was capable of betraying his own troops in the field, why not his commander-in-chief?
Recent major failures of the CIA in its drone operations in the Middle East and Africa have some congressional sources wondering what is afoot with the CIA. Those in Washington with long memories recall how one of President Jimmy Carter's National Security Council staffers, on loan from the CIA, was feeding classified information on the Iran hostage situation, on sensitive negotiations with Tehran that sought a possible "October Surprise" by Carter to get the U.S. embassy hostages released by the Iranian government prior to the November election. The information was funneled by the staffer to Ronald Reagan's campaign director William Casey and the vice presidential nominee George H. W. Bush. The NSC staffer feeding the information to Casey and Bush was one Robert Gates. Gates would go on to become CIA director under President Bush 41 and Defense Secretary under Bush 43 and Obama.
Under Petraeus's watch the CIA has experienced its worst failures since those that occurred in its failure to foresee the Iranian embassy hostage situation that helped sink any possibility of a second term for President Carter's. And, perhaps not coincidentally, the failures, once again, partly involve Iran.
If Petraeus were to receive a report card for his time at the helm in Langley, it would be:
Clandestine Operations Lebanon F
Clandestine Operations Iran F
Drone Operations F
Petraeus's first major failure, Lebanon, involved Hezbollah's exposure of the CIA's agent network in the country... The CIA station chief, Daniel Patrick McFeely, has been outed as the CIA station chief at the U.S. embassy in the Awkar2 neighborhood of Beirut and its crooked T. Wing....at the G2.... Not only was Hezbollah able to out McFeely, who operates as "official cover" as part of the embassy staff, but they identified his predecessor, Louis Kahi....
By conducting surveillance of meetings at Pizza Huts and Starbucks in Lebanon between CIA case officers and agents, Hezbollah -- and their Iranian allies -- were able to construct the CIA's network that included over 1000 top Lebanese politicians, academics, medical doctors, journalists, military personnel, and celebrities. Essentially, the CIA's network in Lebanon has been largely rolled up. According to Al-Manar television The code names of the agents, names like Nick, Jim, Youssef, Liza and Jonah, were also exposed....LOL
The U.S. corporate media has refrained from publishing the names of the CIA station chiefs or the cover names of their Lebanese agents.....
Almost simultaneous to the Lebanon roll up, Iran announced it discovered a network composed of at least 42 CIA agents in Iran, operatives that worked in nuclear and other scientific centers, the military, biotechnology, and various universities. Iran's chief prosecutor has indicted fifteen of the 42 for espionage on behalf of the CIA and MOSSAD....the Siamese Twins since 1995 and the Clean Break.
On November 26, a U.S. air strike killed 24 Pakistani military personnel on the Pakistani border with Afghanistan. The incident, which frayed already poor relations between the United States Pakistan, resulted in the U.S. being expelled from the CIA's Shamsi airbase in Pakistan, one from which drones were launched, with few successes and many failures, against "terror" targets in Pakistan's volatile mountainous frontier region bordering Afghanistan.
The debacle that resulted in the loss of the Shamsi drone base was followed by the biggest intelligence failure to date, the downing by accident or hostile action, of an RQ-170 Sentinel "stealth"-enabled drone over Iran... President Obama was under pressure to launch a commando raid on Iran to retrieve the state-of-the art technology drone or bomb it and its security detail once it was discovered to be in Iranian hands. Obama chose to ask the Iranians to return the drone to the United States, something Tehran has refused to do, without, at the very least, an official apology.
Obama now has on his hands his Jimmy Carter moment and Petraeus has been manipulating all the "joy sticks" from his perch at crooked Langley.... Obama's potential opponents, including arch-neocon and uber-war hawk Newt Gingrich, are now pouncing on Obama as a weak and ineffectual president because he allowed the RQ-170 to fall into the hands of not only the Iranians, but possibly the Russians and Chinese who will attempt to re-engineer what is known as the mysterious "Beast of Kandahar" to leap frog and at least match the United States in stealth drone technology by years.
And just when Obama did not need any more bad news from his problematic CIA director, news came that an Air Force-operated MQ-9 Reaper drone on counter-terrorist and counter-piracy duty in the Indian Ocean crashed and burst into flames on landing at the international airport on Mahe island in the Seychelles. Most Air Force Reapers are remotely-piloted from Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Why would Petraeus risk his job as CIA director by embarrassing his commander-in-chief? For starters, being Vice President under President Gingrich or President Romney would be a much better job.....and he will be heading the Odious and the most Infamous White House Murder INC, from the despicable WH.
