Duties of the SecState
(My view between Petraeus, Romney and Giuliani)

Serves as the President's principal adviser on U.S. foreign policy; (Petraeus based on his military & CIA background)
Conducts negotiations relating to U.S. foreign affairs; (Petraeus and Romney tied, Giuliani maybe be a little hot headed)
Grants and issues passports to American citizens and exequaturs to foreign consuls in the United States; (All three can appoint people to do this)
Advises the President on the appointment of U.S. ambassadors, ministers, consuls, and other diplomatic representatives; (Petraeus knows more than Romney on this)
Advises the President regarding the acceptance, recall, and dismissal of the representatives of foreign governments; (All three can do this, as they would all be advised on this)
Personally participates in or directs U.S. representatives to international conferences, organizations, and agencies; (All three can do this, I could do this))
Negotiates, interprets, and terminates treaties and agreements; (All three can do this with Trump's direction, nothing doesn't go through Trump))
Ensures the protection of the U.S. Government to American citizens, property, and interests in foreign countries; (I lean toward Giuliani on this one for his law skills over Petraeus for his military skills)
Supervises the administration of U.S. immigration laws abroad; (Giuliani wins here as this is what he is focused on)
Provides information to American citizens regarding the political, economic, social, cultural, and humanitarian conditions in foreign countries; (Romney on this one, as he is more social based on things like healthcare)
Informs the Congress and American citizens on the conduct of U.S. foreign relations; (All three can do this)
Promotes beneficial economic intercourse between the United States and other countries; (Romney is more a businessman)
Administers the Department of State; (All three can direct others to run the day by day)
Supervises the Foreign Service of the United States. (I was going to say Giuliani but am going to be fair and say all three can do this)

So, with all that said. On being able to do the job and experience, each get 2 votes, with the rest being ties.

Now it comes down to integrity (the state of being whole and undivided): Giuliani wins as he has been whole and undivided towards Trump. If Giuliani was out of the picture, then Petraeus over Romney just because of the Romney rant.

So, I would give it to Giuliani.
Petraeus second
and Romney last

or Romney if you want pretty.

But its all down to what Trump wants, media is leaning Romney at this moment.

Kind of makes you want to be on here less and less, huh BTK?

Rudy G would never pass the senate confirmation, just look at his record since leaving the mayor's job. Seventeen million in one year for speaking engagements. Look at the countries he spoke at.

FBI Director, James Comey, just reminded us that David Petraeus hid the classified documents he shared with his lover in his attic under the floorboards and then lied about it. He had a very contentious hearing before congress before he was fired from his CIA Director's job, stripped of a few ranks, and given two years probation after pleading guilty.

Would Petraeus pass a senate confirmation hearing? Hard to tell.

They're ALL psychopathic corrupt criminals! WHEN will you get that through your heads? THOSE are the people who want these jobs full of power and privilege.

What's that got to do with the subject?

Everyone in contention and the guys picking them are all corrupt psychopaths? The corrupt placing other corrupt in positions of power. You think Trump isn't going to be business as usual? More borrowing...more spending...more fat cats getting richer...same as it ever was.

Sooo??? You have a lot of complaints but I have yet to hear you mention a solution, other than get rid of anyone that is not like you.

Romney and Trump had a two hour dinner meeting. Here's the menu:

The menu for Trump and Romney's dinner? Prime sirloin, lamb chops, chocolate cake and... soup with sautéed frog leg… twitter.com/i/web/st…

One just has to wonder how these criminals keep getting re-elected?

THe silent majority. Maybe 11/8 demonstrated what happens when the silent majority takes action.

I had a solution...vote for ANYONE but a D or R...you ignored it...so now we have..."meet the new boss, same as the old boss". We DID get fooled again. You did and 17% of the population who elected him.

You REALLY think a "rogue" is going to take charge of a $5 trillion a year operation and CHANGE everything about it? It's like the mob allowing some guy to be the new Don who is going to "fire" all the lower bosses... Good luck with that.

Trump is a "made man", he's been corrupted, he'll "play ball", and we'll borrow and spend a LOT. Everyone will be happy...everyone who COUNTS. Or, he has a very short presidency.

They con their way into people hearts, they lie to them, they use emotions so they hate the "other guy" more.

They ARE psychopaths, they do it without remorse, it's literally a game for them...win no matter what.

The silent majority is quickly being bred out through changing demographics...and they were FOOLED on 11/8. It'll be business as usual.

No, you think you had a solution, but you were wrong AGAIN. There was no one else to vote for. And you have nothing new to say.

:cryin2:

The difference is Petraeus pled guilty to mishandling classified material and was sentenced to two years probation, fired from his job as director of the CIA, and stripped of a few ranks.

Hillary Clinton was never charged with any crime even after a one year FBI investigation. Can you imagine the outrage if classified documents were found under the floor boards of the attic floor in the Clinton's home like they were at Petraeus' home, and then he lied about them to the FBI?

Another interesting point about Petraeus' probation, he is not allowed to handle any classified material. How can anyone be sec of state without handling classified material?

No, Clinton was not YET charged. And she did hide classified, only on her illegal server. And where Patraeus had confidential information, Hitlery had Top Secret, Secret and Confidential documents, along with captioned and code word material on her server and allowed uncleared personnel access to it. Not only should she lose her clearance for ANY gov information, but she should be in jail. Her not being in jail does not prove that she is innocent of breaking felony laws. It means that no one has charged and convicted her yet. Al Capone was only charged with a tax violation because they did not have enough evidence to prove his guilt. He would not be in the history books if he was just convicted of tax fraud. He was a felonious criminal just like Hillary.

Romney should not be trusted with such a high position in this administration. His loyalty has already been lacking.
Petraeus should not be trusted with this position because he is a convicted violator of national security law.

There are thousands if not millions of people in the U.S. that are far better choices for the job.

I had the ONLY solution...you didn't follow through and elected an R who will be more of the same.

Wrong? You elected someone else, so the "experiment" will never run to know if it would have made a difference...your a woman...I thought so...I'm speaking to ANOTHER woman. Sorry baby, I don't have time to explain logic to you today, how we'll never know IF I would have been right, I've got a t-time.

There were FOUR others you could have voted for...you unwisely chose a "lesser" evil. That is what you will get...a slightly lesser evil...but still evil.

I have lots new to say if you'd change the subject and stop lying about things. I call out lies. We talk about politicians, I talk about their lies. Vote in new politicians, not affiliated with the D or R party if you want me to stop talking about their lies.

Things aren't going to change when the same connected people are in charge...think about it. They're ALL well known politicians, generals ARE politicians if you're not aware. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

what do U do just copy and paste your old posts?

Get creative draft new lines of your BS, getting very boring

The only problem with your premise is how does Hillary Clinton get convicted when there is no on-going investigation? If you know of one, please post a link.

The other fallacy is David Petraeus was charged with mishandling top-secret information and pled guilty, not confidential information.

Ask the Over site Committee if they stopped, interviewed about a week ago.......they are on it like white on rice!

J Chaffez
If you thought Congress was done probing Hillary Clinton's email scandal, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, of Utah, has some news for you.

The Republican chair of the House Oversight committee told Fox News that new evidence turned over by the FBI pointed to a "quid pro quo" arrangement between the FBI and the State Department and that was grounds for at least "four new hearings" after Congress comes back from recess.

"This is a flashing red light of potential criminality," Chaffetz said.

The allegations emerge after the FBI gave lawmakers a third tranche of documents related to their investigation into Clinton's use of a personal email server during her time as secretary of state. Those documents have not been made public, but some lawmakers have been given access and Chaffetz said he was briefed on the matter.

According to Fox News, State Undersecretary for Management Patrick Kennedy may have asked an FBI official to change the classification of an email in exchange for space at foreign postings for extra FBI agents.

and the new AG will be on their side of the investigation

Where did you get your information?

He was charged with mishandling CLASSIFIED material (a misdemeanor). Of course there was a plea, just as there will be a plea once Hillary is charged.

Neither one of them should have a gov job. Both should be in jail. National Security is a serious subject, that should not be trivialized.
