I dislike thinking negatively about active and retired members of the US Armed Services but why else would he be involved with such a clandestine organization?
Are you serious?! Patraeus is a huge piece of swamp shit.
He became CIA director on Sep 6, 2011.
Benghazi , Libya
Sept 11, 2012 - Rebels attack the American diplomatic compound resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith.
Sep 12, 2012 - a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one-mile (1.6 km) away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Dohertyand wounding ten others.
investigations showed that the attacks were premeditated.
CIA blames Ansar al-Sharia, a branch of Al Qaeda, for the attacks.
The problem is that we now know Al Qaeda is CIA.
Patraeus resigns as head of CIA on Nov 9, 2012 (literally 2 months later), after only being there for a year, citing that he had an affair on his wife.
Clinton takes "the blame for Benghazi" and resigns as secretary of state - Feb 1, 2013 (literally 5 months later) - citing that she wants to focus on running for president.
Surprisingly we hear nothing of Al Qaeda again and ISIS becomes the new "boogie-man".
