Top US general collapses during Senate testimony

(15 Jun 2010) SHOTLIST
1. UPSOUND: (English) John McCain, US Senator:
"... about whether we're actually going to stay or not, and whether we're going to do what's necessary to succeed rather than set an arbitrary time line, and the best way to ..." (McCain stops speaking, looks shocked)
2. Side view of US General David Petraeus at witness table surrounded by people rushing to help him, he gets up and walks out of committee hearing room, UPSOUND: (English) Carl Levin, US Senator: "We're going to recess now for a few moments. We'll recess until the call of the chair."
STORYLINE
US General David Petraeus slumped over the table during a Senate hearing on Tuesday morning, but revived after a few seconds and left the room unaided.
After about 20 minutes he returned to the hearing room.
Petraeus, 57, had finished telling Senator John McCain that he believed the planned 2011 pullout of US troops in Afghanistan remained on track, and McCain was responding when the room fell silent and aides began crowding around the four-star general.
Petraeus, who oversees the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as head of US Central Command, briefly put his head on the table, then rose, appearing dazed, before standing up and being escorted from the room.
Senator Carl Levin returned several minutes later to say that the general appeared to be all right.
Petraeus returned to the room briefly and told the senators he was feeling a little bit light-headed. He joked that McCain's question wasn't the cause.
In his lengthy appearances before the Senate and House armed services committees in September 2007 to testify on Iraq, he was reported to have endured great back pain and got through it with the help of the drug Motrin.
Petraeus was on Tuesday testifying on the war in Afghanistan.
The general has had a high-profile career, and many believe he is the leading candidate to become the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He commanded all forces in Iraq under President George W. Bush.

happy 4/20 to this stellar comment😂 Do you think he could’ve been “shape shifting” into a reptile?

[@avettchick1566]

Where did he go??? John McCain was definitely sitting in the chair and speaking. Right? Is it 2 separate videos spliced together? But what would be the point of that? So where did john McCain go??

[@nathj4818]

0:26 his hand looks strange

[@natasham4609]

A visual demonstration of how he handled Iraq

[@bloodyplebs]

I don’t think falling over is a good demonstration of winning. You do understand Petraeus won the Iraq war, right?

[@mariabarbosa1625]

Terrible the stress that is imposed on that man. It is really an unberable situation.

[@Seek1878]

I would think a general could handle some stress.

[@mikerotonda6264]

Exactly.. I would expect a general to be able to take it!! And the stress on a soldier, in battle, is it any different? What about the kids that are under this general, that he puts in battle.....

[@KingTea2006]

@@mikerotonda6264 Have you ever been in his place? God, America has declined. Can't you even respect a General? And you said 'Kid's that he puts in battle'? What the hell do you mean?

Photographers from hell. The woman even came in for a much close-up shot. What value will those pictures be showing the man drooling over his face?

Reptilian or shapeshifter or one in the same?

[@mikerotonda6264]

At first my friend told me about this and I said are you crazy? Lol!! But then I watched multiple times and his voice gets deep, they surrounded him to shield his face from view, and if you listen , you could hear McCain say, oh my god, under his breath!! This is at very least , very interesting

[@DrOdTtg]

So no one noticed the different person at the end where the he’ll did McCain go ?

[@breakinbreadent840]

I noticed the same shit‼️😲

[@aquaqt853]

I noticed Petareus' hand shape shifts to like a lobster claw until the "deliberate" camera blockers close in. If you notice, they weren't directing anyone to do anything. Just there to block the photographers from catching him shift. What are you referring to at the end? I swear, every time I watch this, I see something I didn't catch the last time. I bet everyone in that room is on in it or they shape shift themselves.

[@RobbieBaldphotography2]

As a photographer myself I wish those photographers in the room would have switched the cameras off at that point please be respectful this is someone having a medical emergency

[@dansealy8304]

He was shape shifting tho. You gotta keep it rolling when there are demons involved 😊
