Mutual attraction on many levels.
why? People like sex.
Gawd, what a waste of cyber paper.
"A stiff dick has no conscience"
Huh? Did you see the rack on his mistress?
Sheeeeeeuuuuu.....
It apparently took years of contact until the fire was finally lit.
“Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac.”
Paula,I dropped my pen under the desk!
That is why I have an OPEN DOOR policy in my workplace
I would NEVER allow my door to be closed when I am alone with another female
(most of the time it is never closed anyway- but I have had to open in more than once when someone came in with other than business on their mind)
She is fit, and fills out her outfits very nicely. I expect she is smart and confident too
She likely gives as good as she gets.
Why settle for a 2 or 3 star general?
Nope. Absalom rebelled against David. Solomon is not mentioned in connection with him.
Adonijah, another son of David, attempted a couple of coups against Solomon, but they did not get to the level of civil war. Solomon executed him after the second attempt.
I think the ancient Romans had the best idea. During the triumphant parade through the City a slave stood behind the conquering general and reminded him that “Cesar, this too will pass.”
Unfortunately there is no one in our current defense establishment that is tasked to do that.
Or to put it another way, how did a guy who is constantly sold to us as being one of the smartest people on the planet not realize that as CIA Director he was Target #1 for honey pot ops?
I watched a CSPAN talk and she said she chased him ... not in those words ... but that's what she did.
He was set up.
My explanation is that Petraeus was/is a geeky kind of guy, nice, smart, accomplished, but never what we would call, a ladies’ man. It didn’t bother him most of his life. He was busy doing what he did best and that didn’t involve being a ladies’ man.
Then came Afghanistan and Broadwell at the same time. Unhappy, and probably suffering some self doubt for the first time in his long career, Broadwell made him feel younger and attractive and she offered companionship and probably an ear for his doubts and concerns. She probably offered something his wife didn’t a different kind of companionship on a more professional level, feeding his ego and assuaging his doubts. Petraeus probably never intended to hurt his wife. It just happened.
I was thinking more like Delilah, not Bathsheba.
Well I don’t think she was as good looking at Bathsheba or at least Alice Krige playing Bathsheba in KING DAVID. And David should have overcome that come on.
Some men can say no to the lesser temptations and a few men can still say no to the stronger temptations. But many don’t even try to withstand even the barely tempting temptations.
Why? Because he wanted to.
