So what'll Petraeus say? (updated)

Depends.  Largely on whether he's more concerned with truth and honor, or covering his ass.
Considering the level of crap coming out of most of our media, he's got to know that the only way to get anything out is making enough noise here; our journalists will do anything they can to cover for Obama & Co., and unless something is loud enough that they can't keep ignoring it, it either won't get reported, or it'll be reported in the manner they decide is 'best'.
Update:
Petraeus actually talked, some at least.
Former CIA Director David Petraeus testified in a closed-door hearing Friday morning that his agency determined immediately after the Sept. 11 Libya attack that "Al Qaeda involvement" was suspected -- but the line was taken out in the final version circulated to administration officials, according to a top lawmaker who was briefed.



And the National Socialist Democrats start the race-card crap again; it's just so much easier than actually dealing with facts, and lets you throw names at people.


Because things like privacy and law and ethics don't matter to these people:
“The National Labor Relations Board is expected to start work on a rule that would force businesses to turn over workers’ phone numbers, emails and shift times to union organizers,” the Associated Press reported this week.

It’s an effort to enhance the unions’ voter contact operations, in effect, as current law only requires companies to give union organizers the home addresses of the workers whom they hope will vote to unionize.

“What this is trying to do — arguably, it violates the workers’ privacy — but facilitate the union getting in touch,” The Heritage Foundation’s James Sherk told The Washington Examiner. “It is just going to be a headache for workers. You tell the union organizer ‘no’ once and they just keep coming back can come back and they keep harassing you and now they’ve got your phone number that they can be calling you on — now they can be spamming your email.”


 Speaking of Obamacare, I'm seeing various "So all you have to do is raise your price a few percent and all those people will have health care?  And you won't do it?  You suck!"  Yeah, ignore all that they're having to raise prices AND lay off/reduce hours on people to stay in business, "You're just greedy and hate those who work for you!"  Etc. 


Chicago politics/politicians.  Wonderful, aren't they?


Anybody else out there still mail their payments in, because they just don't want to give all these companies/agencies direct access to their bank account?


And I found a dozen or so brass 7.62x54r cases, get a chance I'll deprime them and see if the berdan primers I got fit them.
No, I don't intend to make a habit of this; I just want to know of those will fit these as well as the 7.5 cases.

About the raising prices bit. If you tell these economic geniuses (Genii?) that, they say something on the order of, "well, if everyone has to do it, it won't make a difference," which completely ignores the effects of the law of supply and demand, which says that as the price goes up people will buy less. So, even if everyone's price goes up equally to factor in the added cost of nationalized healthcare, people will buy less, which will necessitate some laying off and reductions in hours.
Economic ignoramuses is more like it.

It all sounds so nice, doesn't it? "Well, it's only a few cents everyone has to raise everything!" Except if everyone does that on EVERYTHING, it all costs more and some people flat can't afford it so they don't buy and on and on and friggin' on.

And my brother and his wife (and my friend the artist, for that matter) depend, for their livelihood, on people wealthier than themselves having money to spend AND feeling comfortable about spending, on something complicated and expensive that takes many years to pay off.
This business of, "well, I don't make that much money, so it can be taxed down to my level" shows a level of ignorance that is, as a friend used to say, "cosmic". These are the same people who, when it is an environmental thing, claim that everything is so interrelated that nothing can or should be changed by man for fear of messing up something they understand nothing about, yet in economics, that conservatism goes right out the window. I swear that just as Rainman could not calculate even the most simple numbers if they were referred to as "dollars", Leftists are unable to apply the principles of ecology to economics, or their principles of animal rights to unborn humans.
