If he has something to tell us, he had better say it loud and publicly, say it fast and say it completely befor he gets Vince Fostered. If he knows anything at all about Bengazi or about the One, he had better spill the beans under oath or we will read about how he shot himself eight times in the head.

Paula Broadwell is a hottie——and married w/2 young kids. Mrs. Petraeus is as dowdy as they come. Classic.

Absolutely! There is far more sinister things going on here.

There are rumors going around that the Benghazi disaster was planned as an October suprise.

The story is that there was an arrangement made with Alquida(sp) to seize the embasy then the "hero"of the day Obama would launch a successful rescue.

When the Navy Seals refused to "Stand" down the whole thing blew up in obama's face as he watched it in real time.

He has been blackmailed to keep quiet about Benghazi and other things, and he decided he owes it to his country to come clean even if it harms his marriage.

Prayers for his safety.

“When was that? I questioned his integrity the moment he accepted the position as CIA director under The Won.”

So did I. Maybe he was blackmailed into ACCEPTING the job in the first place? Now that he’s confessed, he can free himself.

Broadwell is a legitimate babe and his wife is, shall we say, homely. Looks like the square figure he owed himself some rounded corners.

Petraeus, war and a final mission - Charlotte’s Paula Broadwell , a counterterrorism expert, turns her dissertation into biography.

Charlotte Observer, The (NC) - Tuesday, January 24, 2012

By Pam Kelley

As her new biography of one of America’s best-known living generals goes on sale today, Charlotte’s Paula Broadwell adds another accomplishment to her resume - big-time writer.

Broadwell, a counterterrorism expert, is author of “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.”

She lives in Dilworth with her husband, radiologist Scott Broadwell, and their sons, Landon and Lucien. For the next few weeks, however, you’re more likely to find her in the national media. She was scheduled today for an early-morning interview on “Fox and Friends.” In coming days, look for her on CNN, National Public Radio and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”

They’ll be interviewing Broadwell about her insights into the man Admiral Mike Mullen has described as “one of the great battle captains of American history.” Petraeus, now CIA director, commanded troop surges in Iraq and Afghanistan when conflicts in both countries looked bleak.

Broadwell’s 400-page biography is a war chronicle that begins as Petraeus takes command of U.S. forces in the Afghanistan war in June 2010. It tracks the general over his yearlong command, as he directs efforts to take back Taliban-controlled territory, rebuild villages and ensure the safety of Afghan citizens.

“I was trying to portray the war through the commander’s eyes,” she says.

(snip)

The answer begins at West Point. Broadwell, who grew up in North Dakota, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, also Petraeus’s alma mater. She has worked in military intelligence, lived in multiple countries and specialized in counterinsurgency, counterterrorism and geopolitical analysis.

She met Petraeus in 2006 when he spoke at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, where she was a graduate student. When she told him about her research interests, he handed her his card and offered his help. “He really cares about mentoring,” she says.

You would think the head of the CIA would not get caught getting some head.

I agree Petraeus was a poster boy for Obama and his enablers. I never really took a liking to Petraeus and he should have been wiser not only as to his marriage but also very much as to the snakes he laid down with. I don’t need any of the judgement remarks either because old age tells me what is decent.

Throw in the aide’s death notification was about the same time frame as Di Fi “stealing” BHO’s thunder with her OWN announcement of the Bin Laden takedown...and the whole thing smacks of a Tom Clancy novel.

There is waaaay more to this than we will ever learn.

Yes. Remember this?

Jul 24, 2012
The Democratic leader of the Senate Intelligence Committee said Monday that the White House appears to be responsible for some highly criticized leaks of classified information in recent months.

“I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein told a World Affairs Council forum.

Reminds me of the quote about Al Qaeda being inside the building (?) at Benghazi.

And as you mentioned, the death of Feinstein's aide, becomes even more interesting now.

April 2011 Kam missing for two weeks and found dead…murdered? Obama announces sympathy for his aid who helped to “capture” the country

Bin Laden killed and announced on May 4 2011 Same day as Kam memorial, Feinstein beats Obama out by 1 hour in the announcement stealing his thunder Though Feinstein and intelligence knew of Osama whereabouts since Jan 2011.

“Paula is married to Dr. Scott Broadwell; they have two very busy young boys, Lucien and Landon. They live together in Charlotte, NC, and when Broadwell is not on the frontlines, online, or writing lines, they love to run, ski, and surf together.”

—prolly not so much anymore...
