” My suspicion was that the Obama administration was using the affair to keep Petraeus quiet — and Petraeus outed himself and resigned just to take all that leverage away from them “
That is what I think too. He was being blackmailed by the administration and the only way he can tell the truth to COngress is to out himself.
Thanks to you and the other posters for reminding me that sitting on the internet doesn’t exactly make a person an expert on what happened. I was ready to kick Petraeus to the curb until you made me realize there could be a lot more to this story. I’m going to shut up and wait til the truth comes out - and hope it does.
