Robert Baer: “There’s something going on here which I can’t explain and I think we’re going to find out very soon.”

That there is something very fishy going on I have no doubt. I’m much less certain of his second point.

This is a 5-gallon bucketful of worms inside a 55-gallon drumful of snakes. Poisonous snakes, severely unhappy poisonous snakes. I’m glad it’s spilled out over by the White House, rather than most anywhere else.

M of Hollywood, the sad truth is that this new excrucating twist to the Benghazi debacle is of great benefit to Obama. The more confusing it becomes, the more people will just throw up their hands and say “well, we can never know what really happened”. The administration actually benefits if it disseminates confusing and contradictory disinformation. Very, very scary.

I rarely read CNN’s site, but Michael Totten had a link to what sounded like an interesting interview on the Petraeus affair, so I took a look.

Here’s an excerpt:

CNN contributor and former CIA operative Robert Baer spoke to Piers Morgan Friday and gave his perspective on the resignation of General David Petraeus. The now former CIA director resigned from his post earlier Friday citing an extramarital affair.

“The idea that the FBI is investigating the CIA director for a marital, extramarital affair is just extraordinary,” said Baer in response to the news that the FBI was investigating the general and the alleged individual involved with the affair, Petraeus’ biographer Paula Broadwell.

“There are 4 or 5 CIA directors that I know who were carrying on extramarital affairs while they were director. The FBI was never brought in,” said Baer. “So this is absolutely extraordinary. I’m telling you there’s more to do than with sex. There’s something going on here which I can’t explain and I think we’re going to find out very soon.”

Watch the clip, and listen to the interview, as Baer tells Morgan that the FBI investigation into the CIA director’s affairs “smacks of George Orwell.”

“M of Hollywood, you speak my thoughts, or give voice to my confusion, or something.
What a frightening time this is.”

My 22 year old Education major is terrified and angry. Angry enough to cut off her Obama loving buddies and the Ron Paul enablers .

Buckle up….

Obama’s second term is NOT gonna be a happy time for him. This is just a start.

Also, the stock market is looking very toppy recently, especially the last few days. I just put my toe in the water, buying some SPY (follows the S&P 500) puts on Friday. Probably gonna buy some more next week…as a hedge on the stocks in my portfolio.

Not a weighty thought, but I never understood why Petraeus took the CIA job in the 1st place.

And why Panetta took the Sec Def job.
