Yeah BB. As far as timing, he is a general and probably didn't resign earlier because he would have been accused of undermining the election. Now, however, he is free and clear of any political loyalties, perceived or real, and will be able to speak as free as he can (without revealing anything still classified) in front of the congressional panel investigating Benghazi. Man our press is the1980's Pravda and our government is seeming more and more insular, similar to the Chicom and Soviet politicians, scary,,,,, very scary. Holding stories and shifting the news cycle to support a president in an election (not pointing fingers at Obama but his fellow travelers, Obama is not competent enough to orchestrate a conspiracy), what else is happening we don't know about?
