Fox: Petraeus to Testify
No try something else......

Fox: Petraeus to Testify
Not going to happen. He will parrot the story and protect the POTUS.

Could very well be. Still does not change the fact that a man that betrays his family, to whom he owes his first loyalty to, may or may not tell the truth.
He did not make a mistake just on one day, it was repeated long term.

Looking over his impressive career are you seriously going to trump all those accomplishments with who he slept with?
David Petraeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Nothing discounts his service or accomplishments. I was speaking to the man's honor.
As I said above, he betrayed his own family repeatedly.

He may very well be up front with the American people..............maybe.
There is no worry I hold about him making anything up in retaliation for those that investigated his affair.
That wouldn't fly and he knows that.
I have not a strong faith in him revealing all he knows.

He wasn't very forthcoming in this debacle himself to this point already.

It's likely this goes deeper than that.

I love how the left is up in arms about how Petraeus can't be trusted because he dipped his wick.

How quickly they forgot about Clinton.

What a bunch of sillies the left are.

Even if Obama killed a dozen people in the Oval Office in front of the Attorney General and the Chief Justice, the Senate would not vote to impeach him.

I keep asking myself; "Were there always so many crazy people and I just didn't know it because I wasn't reading CD forums or was it having a black man run for and win the presidency that just drove so many people over the edge?"

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by your response. While others see the broader intelligence and national security issue here, you narrow it to just sex. It's a view I've also seen expressed on the extremist blogs and websites.

The American Taliban. People who in one breath say they love America, and in the next express hate for Americans and/or our national values.

My friends and family in Europe think America has gone nuts,i'm just hoping they dont discover Beck and Limbaugh...
If Patraeus is doing this for reasons other than this affair and instead is doing it to protect his President you can bet he'll go to his grave before he'd willingly bring dishonor to his Commander in Chief.

Hahaha! I feel the same way. I think it's both. With the CD political forums contributing heavily to your realization.

Honestly, I had no idea there were so many zealots until I started seeing all the anti-Obama slurs on facebook by my southern friends.

Then ~ I discovered this particular forum on CD.
