Petraeus is Worst Disgrace Since Bill Clinton

I guess President/ General Eisenhower and Kennedy, Clinton were all disgraces too. These guys in high places have been having affairs since time and memorial. The only difference is that now we're in the age of information technology. Don't get me wrong this doesn't make it right but it is a fact of life. For one to think that American servicemen and women are above reproach is extremly naive.

[dfwgator]

Ahh, the “Everybody Does It” defense.

Did Kerry ever cheat on the current wife of his, or been known to?

[CHRISTIAN DIARIST]

I get your point, SnakeDoc. All of the pols you mention were reprehensible. But Petraeus was the sitting CIA Director, the nation’s spy chief. I submit he was capable of doing more damage in his role than any of the others, save for maybe Holder.

[Jyotishi]

Maybe he thought at the time that he was sleeping with an enemy agent as part of his job and for the love of country.

[Political Junkie Too]

We always talk about the worst case scenario of someone being blackmailed over knowledge of an affair. The assumption is that the blackmailer is an enemy state.

I would say that an even worse case is if the blackmailer is internal, and the blackmail is used to coerce someone like Petraeus to go along with a cover-up for higher officials.

Is there such a thing as friendly fire blackmail?

Another view, from a man I respect.

[plain talk]

Who knows or cares? The test of “worst disgrace since bill clinton” is not limited to adultery. Let us not take the bait and take our eyes off the ball. This is another obama distraction from libya

Studies show that 82.013% of statistics are made up on the spot.

[South40]

I wasn’t necessarily doubting the stat, I was more making a statement about how special I feel to not be a part of it. With liberalism corroding the family fabric and the ever-deteriorating moral compass of the average American, things like vows and commitment become meaningless. Sad.

Diversionary tactic most fall for immediatley, notice no one talks about fast and furious, ben gahzi or voter fraud in the presidential race. Yea but this sex scandle is something else. They deserve everything they get. At least we knwo whats coming and we can or are prepared these nimrods have no clue

[marron]

If he gets right with God, the Lord will heal his sin-sick soul.

His career will never be what it would have been, but God can do miracles with a wrecked career and a damaged life. He is a master at rebuilding people.

[EDINVA]

Smart policy for ANY man, powerful or not.

Petraeus is Worst Disgrace Since Bill Clinton

...that we know about.

Keep in mind, we didn't know about Petraeus until after the election.

I keep reminding those around me to (1) consider that we probably don't know everything about this case or others like it, and (2) realize that we'll never receive any information about anything [from the MSM] unless its release furthers the kenyan's agenda.

[ShadowDancer]

I remember that the president was so mindful of being above reproach when it came to interactions with female staff, he often wouldn’t even make direct eye contact with them.

Something I do not want is a CIC that will not look someone in the eye, regardless of gender. I hope this isn't true as it's odd at best. It's one thing to be mindful of not being seen as harassing but an entire other if you are so worried about it that this is what you do.

[LS]

Yes. I know another well-known “televangelist” who would never take an out-of-town speaking engagement without his wife coming along. Common sense.

[karnage]

The proper policy is never be alone in a room with a woman... when two are available!

[Hot Tabasco]

Yet, all is not lost. If he gets right with God, the Lord will heal his sin-sick soul.

So who is free from sin that they can make this judgment against the General? I know I'm not...

So what makes you so special?

[mo]

Petraeus is the Oligarchy’s chosen distraction from election fraud...no more..no less

[Hot Tabasco]

This is all about Benghazi testimony and who will spill the beans.

How so? Please explain why.........
