New book claims that General Petraeus believes that Hillary Clinton would make a "tremendous" President partially because of, wait for it, Benghazi. I know right?

General David Petraeus — the man whom Fox News’ Roger Ailes tried to persuade to run for president as a Republican in 2012 — thinks Hillary Clinton would make “a tremendous president,” according to the new book HRC by authors Jonathan Allen and Aimee Parnes.

And the reasoning from the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency is the exact opposite of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), who has been suggesting for months that the Benghazi terrorist attacks, which claimed four American lives, including that of Ambassador Christopher Stevens, should disqualify the former first lady from higher office.

“Like a lot of great leaders, her most impressive qualities were most visible during tough times,” Petraeus said. “In the wake of the Benghazi attacks, for example, she was extraordinarily resolute, determined, and controlled.”

So to be clear here, the guy that the Right Wing tried desperately to recruit as a presidential candidate, thinks that the person they believe should be disqualified from running due to Benghazi, would actually make a "tremendous" President because of her handling of Benghazi.

You know I often suggest that certain things will cause Right Wing heads to explode, but if such a detonation were possible, THIS would certainly cause it.
