Here’s What We Know About General Petraeus’ Reported Mistress
The Blaze ^ | 11/10/2012 | E. Ritz

TheBlaze/AP) — Paula Broadwell first met fellow West Point graduate David Petraeus in the spring of 2006, when she was a graduate student at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

He was a lieutenant general working on a counterinsurgency manual that would be tested during his command in Iraq. The university had invited him to give a speech.

Broadwell was in the Army Reserve after being recalled three times to active duty since the Sept. 11 attacks to work on counterterrorism issues and intended to return to active duty or get into the policy world, according to the preface of the Petraeus biography she would later write with a Washington Post editor.

I read another article that said she wanted to end the affair when he took the CIA job but Patraeus continued to call and emal her.
Has it come out when/if their relationship really did end?

And people are wondering if she was jealous of a romantic rival for Petraeus. Maybe she was jealous of a BUSINESS rival for Petraeus.

AN article also said that it was threatening emails she sent to another woman that caused the FBI investigation to begin with.

The subject of wealthy people and cars comes up once in a while.

‘Wealthy’ does not equal ‘car buff’. And people who intend on KEEPING their wealth tend not to buy flashy cars.

And, BTW, the BMW 3-series is the second most popular car (after the Mercedes E-class) in America’s wealthiest zip codes!

And being in Charlotte, it’s not like the house payment would be the killer numbers it would cost in NoVa.

Zillow zestimates the value at $895,281, the mortgage payment at $3,070/mo and the probable rent at $3,070/mo. It last sold for $795K on 17 June 2009.

5BR, 3.5Bath, 3,024sf, central air, unfinished basement.

So they’re telling us a military gun battle in DuPont Circle doesn’t make the news. Load of crap. The writers have been watching too many movies.

hehe

I wonder if all those 3-series are for the kids.

But there are FReepers familiar with fighter pilots that will attest that the 3-seies is a fighter pilot favorite.

BTW, the 7-series sure look nice but the people I know who have them say they’re outrageously unreliable - just as well buy a Jaguar.

Who is to say that the story was not planted by the CIA

That would be sadistic!

At first I thought - those are the kids’ cars.

But found out the kids are 4 and 6 (don’t know if late start or second marriages, or whatever).
