No. It won’t.

Krauthammer has such a way of presenting things that you almost think that what he says will actually happen, but sometimes I think he is totally naive

Anyone else feel this way?

It will until they find out about Obama’s role in this debacle. Then they’ll drop it back into the memory hole.

Interest in the scandal will depend on how many patriotic members of the military resign in protest. That idiot Trump should have offered $5,000,000 to compensate Benghazi whistleblowers for their potential lost pensions, instead of flapping his arms over Bambi’s college records.

Obama and Hillary let Americans die at the hands of Muslims. And that was not news worthy.

But an affair will make headlines?

Really?

What will happen now that this guy is out from under federal protective agents is someone will grab him off the street, interrogate him with waterboarding (cause it works folks) and then murder him.

They'll probably leave his body in a dumpster near some mafioso.

No, the press won’t cease the coverup now that the election is over. They are BELIEVERS in the goals of the Obama Administration: social justice, gun control, universal Obamacare, redistribution, suppression of free speech, abortion, anti-Christian, anti-American, indoctrination in the schools, stimulus spending, massive deficits and debt, debasement of the dollar, and so forth. THE PRESS WILL DO NOTHING TO PREVENT THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMMUNIST AGENDA. Goebbels himself could not have dreamed that a privately owned press could be this disciplined in generating non-stop coordinated propaganda.

These scandals happen every day in Washington. We don't hear about most of them. Had the administration wanted to conceal Petraeus’s indiscretion they have the power to do so. Since he came to public attention political strategists and the media have mentioned Petraeus as a possible political candidate. Democrats would consider him a serious rival. Resigning with a public apology for adultery—probably known by the White House for some time—disqualifies Petraeus as a future candidate. Remember what happened to Herman Cain.

Anyone notice the timing of this scandal?

Petraeus didn't resign because he had a guilty conscience.

Petraeus resigned because someone promised not to leak the story if he resigned AFTER the election.

By the way, weren't some of us, me included, fantasizing about Petraeus as the Republican nominee at the beginning of the year?

God watches over drunks, little children, and on occasion, the Republican Party.

Good Grief. Charles, you’re a good guy and a smart man, but stay away from discussing military strategy. He compares “The Surge” to “Inchon”? MacArthur is spinning in his grave. Charles, let me explain the brilliance of “The Surge” strategy.

He asked for more troops.

Wow. In the history of warfare, I’ll bet nobody else ever asked for more troops.

Inchon was a brilliant amphibious assault that took real thought and planning and support and coordination and risk.

The Surge was like ordering French fries at McDonalds. Brilliant?

Maybe.
One problem here is that the circumstances may have been set up to silence Petraeus.

- As a serving head of the CIA he could be asked about secret matters (in secret), and he could be asked for documents. However,

- As a private citizen he would not be able to answer anything without specific clearance from the CIA, nor could he present documents. Depending on how this turns out and what games the CIA and the administration play, he may be unable to testify in any significant way at all.

Also, what if the real blackmail is not just the obvious business of his affair, but also the ongoing investigation of himself or his mistress for security violations ? Just admitting the affair would not end their hold on him.

COME ON THIS ISNT HARD

Patraues has an affair

Jarrett finds out and uses it against Patraeus to stop him from telling the truth to congress

Patraeus admits it himself and resigns...knowing congress can still compel him to testify. He found some honor in outing himself.

Total BS...he’s falling on his sword per orders as he will have to take the fall for Libya...there is no coincidence he has to reveal an affair three days after the election - they knew, it was simply a matter of where O could pull out the election...I an (generally) not a conspiracy theorist, but this is too coincidental...

Yeah, just the the Katrina-like response will drive media interest to Sandy boondoggle. Not.

Amazing to me that these GOPe types will never, ever get it.

Petraeus Sex Scandal Will Drive Media Interest In Benghazi

Not if it hurt Obama. That would be racist.

Just ask Chris Matthews.

That was a lost war. It was headed for chaos, civil war, bloodshed and unending trouble for us. And he pulled off a surge that rescued the war.

But what about Obama's lost wars in Libya, Egypt and Syria.
