Gen. John Allen Says He Will Cooperate With Investigation Into Petraeus Scandal

WASHINGTON (AP) — After two days of silence, the top general in Afghanistan says he will “fully cooperate” with the investigation ordered into communications he had with a Tampa socialite at the center of the military’s sex scandal.

Marine Corps Gen. John Allen released a statement through his lawyer Wednesday night saying he’ll cooperate and that he instructed his staff to do the same.

The lawyer, Col. John G. Baker, says Allen wants questions in the probe resolved as quickly and completely as possible.

The Pentagon inspector general is looking into emails exchanged between Allen and Jill Kelley. The inquiry came after Kelley complained about another matter – emails sent to her by the woman identified as the mistress of former CIA Director David Petraeus.

Well General you failed the Corps. All those years of service are now ruined because you thought with your little head, and not your big one. It’s obvious you lost your Honor,Courage,Commitment card somewhere downrange.

  I did. You look like a couple of nice people. I do not understand the Rod Steward theme song. It seems all about him, not God. Just pray and ask for the Truth that will lead and guid you. Rod Steward? He is singing for himself, but thanks for the change of pace. I do wish you the best and for the Truth and guidance to catch up to you if there is a lacking. Only you and God knows that. Again, thank you for the change of pace.

  I think this is all a deliberate attempt to besmurch the reputation of the military which Liberals hate. Read fresh political commentary at: http://smallcraftadvisorychronicles.blogspot.com/

If they tell the truth it will be only way to save any honor they may have left. I pray the Lord through His spirit will give them courage like they have never known before.

It would be a bit of restoration for those of us who have felt betrayed and damaged by all the lies and deception.

Did you hear Rush limbaugh almost downplay Petraeus’ hearing, ( http://www.thedailycandidate.com/video/2012/nov/limbaugh_downplays_petraeus.html ) what was he doing, Petraeus could total throw a loop in Obama’s plans. We can only hope.

While this scandal has hit the CIA, the FBI has been more successful at keeping their scandals out of the news. You can read about one such illegal covert operation with a search for “New police weapon against homeless” and “Historic coverup of FBI and police crimes currently taking place”.

John Boehner is a ***** (*=u) and needs to go. I am convinced that Obama has pictures of him holding one in his mouth because he won’t stand up and fight for anything. Fire John Boehner!!!! find someone with some balls to replace him or we are all going to be on the cover of Time or Newsweek again except this time it will be “We are all communists now!!!”

  You should not call yourself such names. I am not. Just because there is a foreign agent in our White House does not mean we have to identify with that piece of less than nothing.

The Obama Media Trials continue. And now, newly announced, Israel and Hamas are exchanging missiles . Oh, just another Major Benghazi Distraction for the White House and their failed foreign policies . The Obama White House is much better going after American bankers, companies, and military people than it is in influencing foreign countries. They like to ” think locally ” rather than “act globally .”

This is not top-down purge.

All the fireworks are being orchestrated by the professionals within the intelligence community.

Think about it. Let’s say you have 16 years in the CIA and you watch our Sewer Rat-in-Chief abandon two CIA operatives to their deaths in Benghazi. Complicit in the betrayal are members of the military, some CIA, civil servants, et al. How do you ensure that the same thing won’t happen to you some night in the Congo or Yemen?

You get rid of the bastards, each and every one of them.

It’s called self preservation; and, I hear they’re right good at it.

  The only way to redemption is through the truth.
  
  As a retired Army Veteran, I truly hope that both of these Generals, leaders of tens of thousands of men and women who love and defend this country, and all too many that have died in doing so, respect them and their memory by telling the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
  
  If they try become entangled in this administrations web of lies and deceit, it will be a crushing blow to the Military Establishment, to all service members, to all Americans, to this Country and an effrontery to the memory of those that have died under their command!
  
  Father, give them the courage to tell the truth and bear the repercussions.
