I didn't say he won't have to testify only that it would be by subpoena as he's already been removed from the list of witnesses. Someone with more legal smarts than me will have to explain what obligations, options, exceptions, etc he has as a military officer vs. civilian. The main issue I see is he may veil some of his testimony to protect himself from retaliation. On the point of Afghanistan the course of that war is under Obama and we have lost more soldiers in the last year or so under Obama than the entire period prior.

I think highly of General Petraeus and consider him an American hero, but I now have to contrast that with his recent resignation and the implications of that act. As I see it, there is no way the Obama Administration was ignorant of the affair with his biographer. The vetting process would have uncovered it. Now that the cluster known as Benghazi is a major threat to the Obama administration the general is threatened with misconduct and forced to resign. Therefore negating him testifying except by subpoena. The investigation will be stymied by any and every means possible by the Obama Administration. Any one with a lick of common sense knows Obama and his staff were fiddling while Rome burned leaving four good Americans dead. Failing to report to the American people of the firing on our unmanned aircraft by Iran in international territory until after the election further strengthens my belief Obama is the most corrupt and devious President in our history. Further evidenced among many other things, by his real estate deal with Tony "Pay for Play" Rezco and political aliance with Bill Ayers. What saddens me is the inability and/or capability of Americans to vet a person they will vote for to hold the highest office in the land.
