CIA Director David Petraeus Resigns Effective Immediately (federal, troops, agent)

"This thing with sex, this American obsession and its concurrent hypocrisy, has gone far enough".

Richard Cohen: Get Petraeus back to work - The Washington Post

A little to much fu-fu but right on the money in it's overall assessment of the situation.

Of course the Washington Post would say that. Broadwell's co-author of her "biography" is a WP journalist.

At any rate, there's a growing number of higher-ups who are less convinced that the resignation is about sex, or about the "affair."

Everybody needs to wait for the whole story to come out. Breaking news by the minute.

You mean a growing number of republicans desperately hoping for a White House scandal.

I think its hardly like even if just a affair that he can go back and run CIA. Right now he contents that the affisr started after he became CIA dirctor. if he had been was in the active Army ;adultery is a court marshall offense and he knows it. I don't think he wants that because he;'s fopfficer and it would mean l;ikely dishonerable discharge as officer as they stay on inactivestatus after leaving active.

If you look over headlines, the fiscal cliff is nowhere to be found.

It's all about the sex scandal...

People need to mind their own business.

NBC News tonight:

Feinstein also questioned Broadwell's role as Petraeus' biographer.

“It’s a rather confused situation because at one point she was an Army reservist doing intelligence-related work, at the same time she was doing a journalist’s work, a biography on David Petraeus,” Feinstein said. “It seems to me these two things don’t go together, it seems to me someone who becomes active military should not be writing a book.”

Yeah, get him back to work so he can be honest with Congress about the Obama Administration cover-up of the Bengazi massacre.

Yeah, like that's going to happen!

This guy was shown the door because he knows tooooooo much information. So what do they do? Have him resign....shame him in public over adultry....discredit him for disgracing his family.....and act like he doesn't represent the Administration any longer because he's a cheater. It's the classic Washington case of getting rid of someone who has honor and dignity lest they actually tell the truth.

You don't understand it do you Fro? Patreaus could single-handedly take down the Obama Administration if he wanted to. The quicker they can get him out of town, the better in the eyes of Barack Obama.
