Hillary eliminates a competitor. It’s the Clinton way.
Guess Obama can’t black mail him anymore.
Sounds fishy to me.
wtf
why, why Patreaus couldn’t you keep the zipper up? What is these people’s problem
Sad........wonder if he thinks it was worth it now.
I never liked the guy, but, man, a military guy in with all them grifter lawyers? He never had a chance.
I guess for Mrs. Petraus he was “General BETRAY US” after all.
Now he’s free to testify.
Petraeus betray us—and wifey too. The Libs were right about him afterall. (’ Now he can get a promotion in the DemRat party.
“I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours.”
Heck the RATS would have loved him. this makes points with the media, he should have got advice with “Slick Willie”.
What’s the big deal? Didn’t Clinton change the game by not only getting away with it but having his popularity skyrocket as a result?
I really respect the General and unfortunately resigning is the right thing to do in today's world.
(Put on tin foil hat)... Maybe this is to distract from Benghazi and keep Patraeus from telling the truth about whatever happened there. (hat off for now)
They've greased him.
There’s the doorman.
Resign over an affair?!? I thought that was a resume enhancer in post Clinton America...
What’s the big deal? Didn’t Clinton change the game by not only getting away with it but also perjuring himself and having his popularity skyrocket as a result?
Call it being tossed under the bus to cover Benghazi.
Catherine Harris is saying take his reason at face value but look at timeline of Benghazi. Questioning if he will still testify.
This looks like a paint job done after the fact. General Petraeus is taking retirement from the CIA not for this stated reason, but because he was not willing to act the patsy for this criminal regime operating out of the White Hut.
The cover story, that he indulged in an extramarital affair, is meant to make him radioactive and therefore unacceptable for some future run for high office as a Republican. The tarnish is there, and nothing much can make it go away now.
However, if he were to run as a Democrat, this sort of story would be a resume enhancement. Depending on who put the pressure for this story to be delivered to the press, he will become a satellite of either Hillary or Obama in what would currently be a non-official position, but kept on staff as a “resource person”. And to keep him shut up about what REALLY happened in the CIA.
But I do not view General Petraeus as being a liberal Democrat in any manner. If anything, he is perhaps one of the most APOLITICAL generals we have had in some time.
