In other news, the resignation of Gen. David Petraeus as CIA Director means that he will not be able to testify to the congressional committee investigating the attack on the Benghazi consulate on September 11.

The situation with Alan West is truely disgusting.
Some people will have the veins in their head bulge out while insisting that there is no significant voter fraud in the U.S. It is all a plot by republicans to supress minority turn out. Yeah, right...
What this is really about is blocking a black conservative patriot from being elected.
Does not fit the story line!
I just hope he has a boat load of attorneys involved in this.
