^^People who constantly question "the woman" in these kind of affairs ARE blaming the woman.

If you can't understand what I'm saying, then we agree to disagree....
And you seem to have some sort of block where he is concerned. For her to go public the way you claim, it is cold and heartless to laugh it off. She is also laughing off her own husband and children in the process. This would be a cold hearted b***h, but she's going to make money from it. Obviously she didn't care squat about him to be so classless. Clearly he was the fool in that relationship. Amazing how smart people can do stupid things. BUT IT DOESN'T EXCUSE HIM.

You keep saying that it is the responsibility of women to control the situation. I don't know who initiated the affair, nor do you. More than likely she used her sexuality to get her story. Women do that, use their sexuality as a means to an end. And men continue to fall for it. She was looking for the story and he was looking for the big bang. As for pursuit: read the link. He apparently couldn't let it go.

That is precisely what the FBI is trying to determine (which by the way was how the relationship became known).

If you don't love someone enough to turn away from temptation when offered, they you shouldn't get married. You give up one thing---the freedom to act on basal impulses---for the greater good in your life---a stable family life.

what I meant by she should go and retire, is, she should go into hiding, slip away like the snake she is and stop bragging about it, or writing about it....
How, on the other hand, there is also a whole lot of corrut doings going on over in
Afghanistan, and perhaps that is what her motive is?
The general could have said "thanks, but no thanks." He didn't.
And yes, she took advantage of the situation, but he created the situation by getting in bed with her.
Or do you think he was just too weak to resist her charms? If that was the case, then he really had no business as head of the CIA.

He choose her to be his biographer so she could follow him to the battlefield. He did, in deed, create the situation where an affair could either continue or start in---no one really knows when it started but those two. Vanity of wanting his biography written and flattery from a woman nearly half his age was his undoing. But she's no ordinary woman dappling in a career as a writer.

Let's just hope she isn't a counter-spy in her 'real' life.

Well heck, it was OK for a President to be too weak, yet it's suddenly not OK for a head of the CIA?

This story still doesn't quite add up.

Who on earth is saying it was okay for a president to give into temptation? Certainly no one in this thread is giving anyone a pass.
