Career

Petraeus worked as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from September 6, 2011, until his resignation on November 9, 2012. Michael Hastings opined that: “[David Petraeus] is... a world-class bullshit artist... He essentially armed and trained what later became known as ‘Iraqi death squads.’ He... took the Shiites’ side in a civil war, armed them to the teeth, and suckered the Sunnis into thinking we’d help them out too... Hundreds of thousands of Iraqis lost their lives during a sectarian conflict that Petraeus’ policies fueled... The reputations of the men who were intimately involved in these years of foreign misadventure, where we tortured and supported torture, armed death squads, conducted nightly assassinations, killed innocents, and enabled corruption on an unbelievable scale, lie in tatters.” [1]

He was hired by Henry Kravis in December 2014 to head his own intelligence agency called the KKR Global Institute which was used to funnel weapons into the Syria conflict. Operation Timber Sycamore was the largest weapons trafficking operation in history, implicating at least 17 governments and representing many thousands of tons of weapons worth several billion dollars.[2] }}
