Breaking now.

You are telling me a General crapped in his mess kit? Hard to believe.

[MayflowerMadam]

“Now we know how the 0bama thugs kept him in line before the election.”

Yeah; Petraeus’ statements never made sense. Even at the very beginning, the Fox military pundits, McInerny and Hunt were basically speechless that he’d blame the video. They know him well and said that it just isn’t him. They could not understand why he was lying. Now we know; the thugs had the dirt on him — most likely complete with photos.

Anyhow, now that it’s out in the open, he’s free to tell the truth. He may end up in Fort Marcy Park, or the Chicago equivalent (suicide with four shots in the back of the head), but at least he’d have been the patriot he started out to be.

I shouldn’t laugh....but I did! lol

I have to question if anybody ever threatened to expose this in order to get his cooperation on the Bengahzi situation prior to the election. If so, that is a crime, a very serious felony called extortion of a federal official.

Everyone wondering who she is. What if she is a he?

[GlockThe Vote]

LOL~!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha probably true!

[InvisibleChurch]

I wonder if the producers for the new Bond film had him fired to garner attention for the movie? Geez, he's a spy, for cryin' outloud, he's supposed to be gittin' it on! with the babes.

[Ann Archy]

BINGO!!!! BINGO!!!!!! BINGO!!!

Discredit your enemy so his testimony can't be credible......it's the Demoncrat way!!

[Verginius Rufus]

Maybe Petraeus looked at the names being mentioned for the Democratic nomination in 2016, decided it was a weak field, and sees this as a resume enhancer for 2016.

[Hero]

This White House leaked it so he can be the fall guy for Benghazi.

[Belteshazzar]

No problem, Tim Geithner and Eric Holder are both available now.

[FourtySeven]

Isn’t this how the movie “Deep Impact” started?

Something stinks, like stale tench fries.

[no-to-illegals]

Call it what it is FRiend. New World Order = New Normal.

[Berlin_Freeper]

0bama Announces Nominations for Secretary of Defense and CIA Director
Obama minute 8.
Petraeus minute 19.

[RoosterRedux]

my guess, is that Obama’s people stated you go along with our side, in the upcoming investigation or we out you on this affair... and he probably said screw it, I won’t do it.. I’ll come out now with the affair, and resign.

More likely that Obama told him to buy into the cover story and Petraeus said "NO, I quit"...and the affair is simply a cover story.

The General would be advised to stay away from Ft Marcy Park.

[MestaMachine]

“No; if they had dirt on him they would have offered a ‘shut-up-and-we’ll-let-you-resign’ deal. He wouldn’t have come out and said what was going on.”

WRONG!!! This is how you STOP blackmail.

[Paladin2]

"A CIA director putting himself in a position to be blackmailed makes no sense."

"On Saturday, April 27, 1996, Colby died in what appears to have been a boating accident near his home in Rock Point, Maryland. There was speculation that Colby's death was due to foul play or suicide. "

[FR_addict]

“Better to be caught in bed with a gal than be caught instead covering for a lyin’ president.”

Exactly. He's hoping to divert attention from his role in the Benghazi decisions and cover up.

If he was going to tell the truth, he would have resigned before the elections.
