David Petraeus Still Moving Up in My Esteem

First, he comes out as a voice of reason on guns. Searching for that, I came across another post where he expressed less than unabashed fealty toward the the state of Israel. It's hard to believe the Right was gaga over the idea of running him for president at one time. Here's his latest bit of sacrilege. 

The Democrats' report states that the cause of the attacks "remains unclear to this day," quoting testimony by David Petraeus, in which the former CIA director says, "To be candid with you, I am not sure that the amount of scrutiny spent on this has been in the least bit worth it."

What Cal Jillson says:

“The Benghazi report is still critically important to the true believers on the Republican side, who, no matter what, will believe that Hillary Clinton didn’t do everything she might have done” to save American lives, says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

As for sane people:

But for most voters, Benghazi is old news, and a complicated story that has been highly politicized by Clinton’s opponents.

On the eve of the hearing, 3 in 4 Americans believed the select Benghazi panel was politically motivated, according to a CNN/ORC poll. 

Enough Benghazi, lets move on the e-mails. Yeeha!
