I was skeptical of Petraeus after he made the statement that he thought that he could work with Obama but that still doesn’t elevate the Broadwell foolishness to the level of incompetence that we are seeing.
You are falling for the narrative that the Obama people are putting out there, that Petraeus cannot be trusted and so we should be skeptical of everything that he says.
Men are fools when it comes to sexual advances from attractive women. Powerful or rich men seem to be bigger fools. They begin to believe the flattery from the female aggressor. I think that Petraeus statement that he could work with Obama was a sign that he was vulnerable to this type of persuasion.
It just doesn’t matter any more. Petraeus is a non-issue and his affair is nothing but a planned distraction. The issue is the failure and lies of the Obama administration and their efforts to pin their failures on Petraeus.
Good response. However, I’m not falling for anyone’s narrative(s). I’ve seen a lot of political shenanigans since my days in WWII and these come from all directions of the societal structure of the USA and other countrys. I believe it still matters as part of the picture unfolding. There are always things to be learned and remembered; even my mother taught me this fact of life.
