Maybe Petraeus was off on a rendezvous with his mistress and therefore missed the SOS call about Benghazi!

This story still doesn't quite add up.
Many presidents and generals in United States history have had affairs, and this woman was not his intern, not his secretary or any other employee of the US government.

Feinstein said she respects Obama’s decision to accept the Petraeus resignation, but wishes he hadn't.
She also said Petraeus will not need to testify at hearings she is chairing next week into the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the attack.

How did he go from schedued to testifying but now he "will not need to"?
This should have no effect on that at all.

Many here said this is unrelated so there is no reason for such a change.

I ask why?
One has no bearing on the other.
Well he's been excused from the SIC, but what about HIC?

He wasn't the head of the CIA either.

Folks in the national security apparatus play by a different set of rules the elected politicians.

Once again we have an opinion based on FALSE INFORMATION.

David Petraeus is a RETIRED military officer.

There's now some speculation that Paula Broadwell's husband is the one who wrote this "My wife's lover" letter in the New York Times.

Not only that but no one can me "compelled" to testify. They can be compelled to appear (with some limitations) but that doesn't mean that they are compeled to speak.

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) on Friday vowed to subpoena outgoing CIA Director Gen. David Petraeus if he won’t testify voluntarily about the Sept. 11 attacks in Benghazi, Libya.

Gowdy said that while he regretted the “personal ramifications” of Petraeus’ sudden resignation over an extramarital affair, it would not stop Congress from hearing from him about the assault on the consulate that left four Americans dead.

^ ^ ^ ^
I agree with this.
