I don’t fully get it. The head of the CIA is investigated by the FBI...and he doesn’t know it is occurring? I thought the CIA had a way of knowing everything. If anything, the head of the CIA should have the goods on everyone else. Something isn’t right with this situation.

Now, the Petraeus sex scandal has ignited it to a level that even the NYT can't ignore.

I hope you are right, but I am inclined to think that instead of increasing the scrutiny on the whole Benghazi episode, Petraeus' affair simply gives the liberal media a way to say they covered it by ONLY focusing on the sex.

It also sets up Petraeus as the ultimate fall guy for the administration. They will paint him as the guy who made the bad decisions because his mind was so pre-occupied with his affair. Therefore, the rest of the administration gets absolved of wrongdoing. Let's move on. Nothing to see here.

The affair is mis-direction.

I wish I could agree, but now the mediots and presstitutes will just say...

it's only about sex...private matter...none of our business...Republicans wallowing in sex again, just like Clinton/Lewinsky...nothing to see.

I have -0- ZERO confidence in the press to do its job. They just spent years getting their guy re-elected. They aren't going to knock him over now.

Petraeus had sex under the desk with his biographer Paula Broadwell...

And Obama’s book was written by Bill Ayers....

All good academic questions one who is from a decent and honest country with moral values and a high regard for integrity and diligence in the protection of it.

However, this election has shown us a preponderance of its people don't give a flying flip about things like that. They only want free crap, and more of it. Even if Obama has to take it away from old white men, they don't care - they getting paid!

All this is going nowhere. It will stay nowhere until it all breaks down and we are all equal, but poor.

This 'collection' of immigrants, illegal and not, minorities, sloths and no-goods are only in it for what they can get from others, and for a right-good measure of revenge for pent up anger. Liars, cheats, and stealers all voting to 'get theirs'.

For as long as I can remember, people on this site have been saying:

The dinosaur media is dead. New media now calls the shots!
The MSM has been covering stuff up, but they can't away with that anymore!
Their business model has failed -- now they have no choice but to tell the truth!
All they need to do is keep quiet until after the election, then they will tell us what we already know.

This has been a constant drumbeat throughout 2012 -- but it was a constant drumbeat in 1996 too. And 2000. And 2004. And 2008. And every year in between.

The media covers what it wants to cover -- and it does not want to cover scandals that make Democrats look bad.

Don’t get your hopes up FR eepers.

This aint going nowhere.

Am I pessimistic or Cynical? Hell yes I am, but I watched Fast& Furious go down the tubes
I watched as Holder turned loose the BlackPanthers..
I watched Obama make recess appointments when there was no recess
I watched Obama executive order Amnesty.
I watch the EPA closing down coal when Carbon Credit went down the tube.
I watched as Arapaio proved the Birth Certifictae to be phony
I watched as the Social Security card Obama holds is invalid. I watched Roberts make his own law instead of upholding the Constitution.
I watched as Obama watched 4 men killed in Benghazi and said it wasn’t optimal.

Excuse me if I am cynical or pessimistic, This won’t amount to squat.
Just another thing to add to my list of atrocities.

Petraeus is a guy who made people go running with him to prove that he was a better man by being able to outrun them. Do you think someone that insecure might have an affair with a younger, good looking woman to prove he’s still virile?

The odds are that they appointed him as head of the CIA AFTER they learned of his affair. It is possible they did that BECAUSE of the affair. But what is certain is that the Chicago Machine began to drudge up info on him after rumors began that Petraeus would be Mitt’s nominee —Hussein’s early political career in Illinois was permitted specifically by those same tactics. Hey he talks a lot about, “change” but I assure you that is not little gem that Hussein would absolutely not change —CUZ IT WORKS.

So remember the order:

1. rumors the Repubican VP would be Petraeus
2. search for dirt
3. discovery of dirt
4. VP nomination of Ryan, not Petraeus (mean this high-value card was put into storage)
5. Appointment of the compromised Petraeus to head of CIA
6. Bengazi melt-down “nasty YouTube vid did it, and dumb CIA didn’t do it’s job so they’re to blame”
7. Confrontation of comromised Petraeus with damning info
8. Proud Petraeus refuses to let his Agency take all the blame, goes off the prepared narrative
9. Petraeus outs his own indiscretions

Did Israel Honey Trap David Petraeus?

November 9th, 2012 | Author: Patriot

With the breaking news on General Petraeus (http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/cia-chief-petraeus-resigns-reportedly-over-affair-201305343–politics.html) you might be interested in taking a look at the Mondoweiss.net link (at the following New Statesman article) which broke the story about email exchanges with David Petraeus which US mainstream media ignored as well (as also mentioned on Press TV via http://tinyurl.com/proisraelbiasedmedia & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEtASJOjDU8).

Maybe now, it will get people’s attention? (I’m being facetious)

The affair only became a matter of national security AFTER Benghazi. The admin is far more concerned with what Petraeus has confided to Broadwell about Benghazi. Who knows, he may have given her documents and information for safe keeping.
