They are trying to destroy him......


That may well be, but the good General was stupid enough to give them the ammunition. Its really hard to believe such a smart man did such a dumb thing. If these articles are to be believed, he was acting like a teenage boy.

I think a lot of people have affairs, which shows poor judgement and character. But to have an affair that involves “company” time, premises, resources or personnel is just wreckless.

From the Liberal standpoint, this is a good thing as it removes Petraeus as a possible contender for 2016.

The FBI sat on all of this damning information for almost a year. The threat bought the silence of Petraeus. Evidently, he balked at lying under oath to Congressman Issa’s committee investigating Benghazi. So they pulled the plug on him, or perhaps he gave up and came out himself.

This entire episode stinks as bad as the Benghazi massacre. Obama and Holder are Chicago Democrat mafia, after all. They always put themselves and their power first, and it works.

If it’s okay for Moochie and her band of hanger-ons, why is it not okay for Betray-us and his floozie?

Gotta keep Benghazi off the front page.

Sayyyy, whatever happened to Fast and Furious? I’m sure that’s been resolved. And what about Hillary sleeping with the enemy (Huma). And what about Valerie Jarrett being an Iranian insider? Plenty of questions. Plenty more we aren’t even aware of.

I agree with Enterprise — a general shouldn’t have to settle for a 40 yr old writer. How the mighty have fallen since the days of Gen. Eisenhower and Gen. Jack D. Ripper — that’s what secretaries are for, right! And besides, since when do you have to fly women into Paris — aren’t the native babes worth a look?

He knew what he was doing. He wanted a glowing, fawning biography for a potential presidential run. And he almost got away with it. Bastard. He should go to Leavenworth.

I have a close relative who worked with Petraeus and said all along that he was the ultimate manipulating careerist and lacked honesty.

I didn’t want to believe him. Now I’m thinking again.
