[Canaderek]

#9... #9... #9... #9...

[xTheEmilyx]

I kept trying to get rid of the c-span thing at the bottom thinking it was an ad.

[whatacrank]

As if silly reporters with cameras are allowed to take photos of him like that, this man is now director of the CIA

[DizzyDior12]

Lolol, I wonder how many people pass the fuck out on C-SPAN while everyone else is busy NOT watching it. Oh, poor guy.

[DarkprinX2500]

Petraeus sucks Zionist dick

[KC8YOQ]

@DarkprinX2500 Sir how dare you say that about one of the greatest Americans alive today! You are a LOSER

[DarkprinX2500]

@KC8YOQ Greatest Warmongers alive today... there i corrected you

[KC8YOQ]

You live you poor basement troll life and then make crazy comments The general is one of the greatest Americans alive today and will go down in history that where as you will be found dead in your moms basement with your xbox cotroller in you hand!

[nomanaziz]

stupid american drunk general .... thumbs up if u think soooo?

[shawnlocke]

the most exiting thing 2 ever happen on c-span

[oscarhollywood]

id pass out during that meeting as well

[colddevil91]

thank you

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

2:11 To see what you came for

[9b8]

I really hate the camera people! No respect for the man... just RUN UP in his face and grab a snap shot. I suppose it is "useful" to document/photograph the unfolding events, but then there is this invisible line of morality that you should NOT cross. The one monkey crossed it and then some, up in the man's face taking photos. If I were one of the folks around the general, I would have shoved that monkey on their ass and let them be photographed by the OTHER monkeys while I do it! Annoying!

[ktie28]

Photographers....No morals at all

[SkullKing11841]

This happend last year, he's fine, people faint all the time. Plus those chairs are really uncomfutable and his back isnt the best after a parachute accident and he was probaly tired.

[ThemTheyHeShe]

must've been something in the water

[gnossticc]

prtreus must go to the doctor...

[gnossticc]

perhaps petreus is sick. he didn't look sleepy to me.

[P90x420]

Good cuz he was boring the shit outa me

[HoustonTexas457000]

He said Fuck ya'll im going to sleep, hell i'd do the same thing.

[SmileyGarrish]

Trying to comprehend McCain causes cognitive dissonance. Like a pressure in the head that does not go away.

[KURTNDAWN]

FAKER!

[chype]

I love it how the photographers crowd around taking pictures. This happened to me at school assembly once I'm glad nobody was there to film or take pictures of it haha

[anynamethatworks13]

2:13 - 2:18 McCain is taking a crap

[zNovaHD]

Camerapeople- omg were going to be rich because we got the general passing out!

[alexxenophon]

nice camera

[libertyjusticeforal1]

ITS NOT EASY TO BULLSHIT PEOPLE ALL DAY.LOL.

[MrMaypole14]

Yeah, give him some water, so he chokes! Dumbasses.

[MultiSr16]

military service is way more demanding then most people think., this man works more in a month then most people do in a year

[smithwh]

he looks like he just threw in a lip

[leelulove24]

why are people trying to give him water trust me water does not work i should know i faint alot.

[greenmile66]

McCain@ 2:13 is this real life

[Trund27]

Wow...the way those photographers go in for a quick kill is pretty creepy. "Hey let's take pictures of the general turning green!"

[Jesseleeg]

its called diabetes perhaps maby his blood sugar went down? Maby that's why they mentioned getting him something to eat?

[MOAD90720]

hhhhhhhhhhhhh this is effect of TALEBAN

Afgahanistan will be cemetery for america

[Shadowgoddess08]

I find it strange that he fainted while sitting down. That's rarer than the traditional "I stood up for too long" fainting. Maybe he has a blood pressure issue?

[SadCarnage1224]

probably fainted from huge death tolls an losses.. :(

[SadKamper]

McCain just took 1 min's of his life,

[jeramiahwegner]

He went back to Ranger school for a minute. passing out during the op-order

[jooksi]

fuckin monkeys running around with camera's

[SteelAVic18]

@jooksi lol

[CertifiedGooner729]

lol

[kaz1881]

every soul shall taste death = under his circumstances he wudda been in hell

[SilenceSlayer224]

Gen. Petraeus: Hey, if you got as many stars and ribbons as I do, you'd be tired too.

[THEUSSLIBERTY67]

General Patton was one of the great American heroes and was murdered

by his own government.

[Ph4ntom74]

@THEUSSLIBERTY67 what are you talking about? did he died already? iv noticed that the general fainted or had that abnormal behavior after he took a shot of water at 1:36

pay attention!

[terrancelueckgen]

Staged, just like they wanted

[formeliandialogue]

@terrancelueckgen Never though of that. It get us to feel sorry for poor old Gen.Patreus making such difficult decisions when all the hard work done is on the ground by the troops.

[OnTheREDPILL]

Gotta love the douche bags that run to the front of him to take pictures

[uncreativeranter]

reason for fainting: the military are fucking lying pricks; they only help build up corrupt politicians stocks.

[2xtream]

Staged

[djnero78]

And urm....and err.....urm...

[saspurs444]

good to see the fine physical specimens that are in the military these days

[armyaviationproud]

@saspurs444 Yeah, you stupid fuck. He's a General. He's 57 years old. He's the brains of the Army. He's also still human.

[kush997]

look at mccain's face looool

[InfoWeapon]

McCain's face at 2:16 is priceless!!!

[bevassimary]

does the army teaches there own to fake like that

[bannyloren100]

fake

[neerrg]

@bannyloren100 fake?

[AnglesM888]

To much good drugs!! fuck!! they are poisening the world and they are high on the best drugs money can buy!!? Would you give a sheet if you were them!?

[Nickael7]

The General is fucking tired.

[Deke101]

Senator, you are beginning to bore the HELL out of me..."

[gardnerbm]

mccains facial expression was hilarious!

[penniesfromheavon]

umm that looked a little fake to me...

[Captor96]

that water. would you like more water sir.

[ImperialArmour]

MY HERO HAS FALLEN!!!! OH FUCKING NO!

[BamaDaBest16]

Did anyone else notice the facial expresion...... Eybrows are stedily raising, keep raising, his voice starts to get more serious, then BAM! they drop and he looks like a dumb ass

[romerieger]

lame, i wish the camera was actually on Petraeus when he "passed out" .. i've never seen someone faint while calmly having a discussion in the seated position.. a US Army General no less. was this ever explained?

[detahdomo]

@romerieger im fairly certain that general petraeus has/had cancer and underwent radiation therapy

[sprtn007]

I hope he doesn't faint like that on the battlefield.

[Deadstone55]

the ppl taking pics of him are asses

[Antipopularization]

@Deadstone55 I think it's brilliant. Something to put on Facebook.

[wangwee3]

You guys are complete idiots. General Petraeus has done more for this country than you pussy's will do in a lifetime. Could you be any more anti-american than by insulting General Petraeus, way to insult the entire US.

[BamaDaBest16]

@wangwee3 Go suck a dick

[BamaDaBest16]

@wangwee3 Go suck a dick cus that was funny

[wwwwgangster]

this man is a humanoid complete cyborg

[osamabinladenCIA]

listening to that dumbwhit McCain is like watching paint dry.

It's no wonder that General Petraeus passed out.

[ijakeii]

@osamabinladenCIA its c-span, everything is boring. idk y everyone loves to hate McCain, but I think if you disregaurd anything he says just because he sounds boring you are making a very "dumbwhited" mistake.

[GovernmentWar]

That stunt was just to get out of the meeting. Plain and Simple!

[WorldFleece]

insulen reaction

[JXjohn]

he was just bored to the bone.

[vajranoid623]

mk ultra

[dejakhalz]

@vajranoid623 Hah

[MCMKingKilla]

K.O.!!!!!!!

[surfin4]

5 star clown

[blacknightro1]

@surfin4 4 stars you disrespectful waste

[BadSwineDOTcom]

I don't think he feinted I think he fell asleep.

[knitezpage]

this us generals are a joke lol lets see a hard AFRICAN military general pass out under intense sun or interview lol what a retard and mccain didn't help old fuck lol jokes.

[amberview30]

McCain's face when it happens is priceless!

[jukio02]

[merzbau1]

[pspecho]

McCain is a master jedi! His eye was sucking the life force out of Petraeus.

[TheOkstate]

haha Mcains face was like, wft.

[mesixpence]

McCain would put me to sleep.

[lilbig8543]

LMAO definetly did that on purpose to dodge the questions

[BrianMorrison71]

He recovered awefully quickly...

[msn8ive]

@buzzclick500 Those are scars remaining from his 5 years as a POW. Tortured for 5 years for serving this country in our armed forces. Don't mock the sacrifices that allow you to say what you want on here.

[forensics55]

Kinda makes you wonder what McCain saw; the look on his face says that he was taking a crap.

[tyrell1984]

@forensics55 I agree did you see how Mc Cains eyes lite up? that was a look of shock. He saw something beyond normal

[DemonosZXZ]

wow mcain used the dark force on him did you see how he pushed his head forward just as he fell.

[nottinmatterz2day]

perhaps someone gave him fluoridated water instead of pure mountain spring water or whatever they get their water from!

[rockinw401]

I passed out in a chorus concert one time. lol

[buzzclick500]

Well, THAT'S not good, especially so soon after saying nice things about McCrystal.

[marcusos1111]

FAKER!!!!!

[DUSTY1373]

he just got news that Obama is President

[thebooya69]

there was no lack of anything they were talking about

[DUSTY1373]

everyone gets sick

[thebooya69]

@DUSTY1373 NOT

[donnagogrl]

Pride made him leap up the way he did after the spell, no man wants to look weak on tv(even when he feels like crap) a 4 star general would have to be almost dead before he would allow anyone to hold him up so he walked away on his own, in his mind i'm sure he felt like he had to.

[kentusmaximus]

The photographers behaviour is just despicable, swooping in to snap their flashes while this gentleman is feeling faint.

[NurEineStimme]

@kentusmaximus Their job is to document the proceedings, including anomolies. Why aren't you complaining about the video camera operators? There were more than enough people on hand to medical emergencies, as is clear in the video. $10 says all the people who say stuff like this about photographers, including Paparazzi, will google to search for the images they take.

[kentusmaximus]

@NurEineStimme Surely you can see how unnecessary it is for the photographer's to begin snapping away as he momentarily stumbles out of consciousness for whatever reason. If it had been a heart attack, do we need pics in order to understand the situation? Yes there are tv cameras but I don't see them zooming in for a close-up.

[NurEineStimme]

@kentusmaximus If they didn't take pictures, they would not be doing their job. They were not obstructing his medical care. They were not smiling with glee. I'm not sure what you've actually got on them except you arbitrarily don't like photojournalists.

[kentusmaximus]

I suspect they would still be meeting the job criteria required as photographer's had they not swung into action right in front of Petraeus in a most uncivil manner. I'm sure he wouldn't of appreciated it.

[NurEineStimme]

@kentusmaximus What the heck are you talking about!? Uncivil manner?! What were they doing, making faces at him? They have to "move in" to get a tighter shot if they don't have a zoom lense on. If someone is passing out, they don't care about some soft clicking sounds of shutters nearby. My guess is he didn't even hear it. My God, some people are just not happy unless they can have a problem with something.

[kentusmaximus]

@NurEineStimme I'm sorry but if the aforementioned situation is not suitable to be photographed then I don't know what is. You must be some rabid paparazzi type person. Peace

[NurEineStimme]

@kentusmaximus I'm sorry you're thinking wrongly. If this were a private dinner party, and some guys started pulling out their point-and-shoots as he was fainting, you would be correct. However, the photographers at an official hearing are their to document whatever happens, good or bad. They kept a perfectly acceptable distance away from him and did not invade his personal space. You're either over-sensitive, or--as I suspect--a person who thrives off of having problems with things.

[Korndog88]

can i get a recess ?

[AZNXXXful7]

Macain....your boring....u even got that dude passin out

[Korndog88]

@AZNXXXful7 word



[cronoskronos]

@AZNXXXful7 Macain ??? Really.

[thebooya69]

@AZNXXXful7 Mccain is not boring you stupid ass, patraeus was dehydrated so shutup.get your facts straight, look it up and leave mccain alone.he aint boring

[AZNXXXful7]

@thebooya69 course i knew that....i just said that for a whitty comment lol it worked right? I dont care for the dems or reps we need Moderate control and if that doesnt work...well then theres not point to any government type in the world :D

[veniceit1]

Why is he called by some "general Betrayus"?

[ezcondition]

he was probably holding his breath

[jian77]

yes, obviously he couldn't handle McCain's force and was rendered momentarily unconscious...

but seriously, the dude supposedly works 18 hours a day and has serious amounts of stress on him. Stress kills people. I've had black outs from much less. Not to mention he has some pretty serious health issues.

[jjay3200]

i glad general petraeus is our commanding officer his one of the greatest so is president obama

[TheRebelVoice]

@jjay3200 It's great that Obama just passed a law that has made it illegal for Native Americans to sell their tobacco (citing that they do not pay taxes, but the Native American nations are sovereign nations). Obama will effectively force more NATIVE Americans into poverty.

[Korndog88]

@jjay3200 LOL !!!

[elbombardi]

he spent all the last night playing a crazy online real time real life killing games. he need to rest ... in piss.

[Mclean84]

How the hell do you fall out while SITTING DOWN? This is the guy running shit?

[DigitalPraise7]

@Mclean84 And then he gets up and walks out.

[Korndog88]

@Mclean84 i guess he is the best of the best.

LOL

[HUMANTORCH38]

wow i knew sen. McCain is boring but wow this took the cake!!!!!!!!

[BarJabba]

Be Aware of the Force Luke!!

It's time ALL of these idiots that are calling themselves our leaders, to get clensed spiritually of these demons (for a lack of a better word) I think someone should lay hands on these people and exorsize them all.

[WJValente]

The look on McCain's face just as he sees what's happening is priceless!

[WJValente]

Military men need their stars and fancy uniforms to cover up the fact that they are dishonorable war mongering profiteering subhuman scum! General, a salute to you and a big fuck you as well.

[Shimonetadaisuki]

Someones getting a bonus, and I think its the bald blockerrrrrrr!

[JustmeSteve100]

staged

[dontdoitnow]

the deplted uranium bullets they use against iraqis and afghans are effecting him also now

[boston65boston65]

poor baby killer

[MrHurricaneIKE]

That was all God!

[Topher56ify]

The look on McCain's face is priceless when he sees the general passing out!!

[KnighttVision]

@Topher56ify That is great! The shocked look McMain has when he realizes he has brought down a powerful United States General with a few calm words of concern. LOL

[BrianMorrison71]

Well, that is one way to evade a question...

[rule2011]

@BrianMorrison71 and.....what question was that?

[buzzclick500]

@BrianMorrison71 : Right after he took a sip of the liquid in the glass...uh, oh. By the by, McCain seems to have a tumor in his left cheek.

[mobst4r1]

@BrianMorrison71 Lmao!

[sidvicious350]

John put him to sleep, LoL.

[misterb1972]

This was staged. Notice McCain tug on his left jacket and seconds later the general passes out. He wasn't dehydrated he was sitting there drinking water the whole damn time.

[fillosofert]

maybe he had a virus and was dehydrated. Remember petraues has injured his lungs from being shot in an accident.

[LLGoldstein]

Many people pass out in the presence of so many evil senators.

[Flashman2006]

I don't know. Perhaps he wants to prove that General Petraeus was passing out today? Maybe the room was stuffy, not enough fresh air, dehydrated, etc.

[purt077]

@downtheshiter The news, I'd imagine.
