Waiting for the rest of the story.

And Hannity is taking the day off after his turnabout on amnesty. Don’t know if it had been announced before showtime.

[logitech]

This is starting to sound like a military coup. All the high ranking naval officers,Seals and now Petreaus. On top of it all we can’t even prosecute a mass murderer at FT Hood because he has a effing beard.

[5thGenTexan]

Did the Obama administration know this I wonder? He may have just removed the threat that has been keeping him silent.

Maybe he just sacrificed his personal life (which he was ruining anyway) to free himself to speak for the Americans who were left behind adn can no longer speak for themselves.

Outing himself diffuses the coming attack.

[SpaceBar]

I ain’t buying it. Marital infidelity grounds for stepping down as a military commander? The dems just won an election running on vaginas, and now they are citing immoral behavior? Who are they kidding? Boilerplate cover for deeper issues.

[prairiebreeze]

Petraeus is being set up as the Benghazi fall-guy. Extra marital affairs are matter of course for democrats...certainly tolerated if not celebrated.

[CaptainK]

I want to see what the woman looks like who is attracted to a trollish looking man.

[eeevil conservative]

Well, that explains a LOT!!!

was this held over his head to get him to lie to Congress about Benghazi?

love the timing....

so, does he not get questioned about Benghazi now that he retired?

great news this week, eh? layoffs, Iran, Benghazi....4 more years....what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

[RicocheT]

Good grief, is every officer over LT in our military and navy a goof ball? I fear for our sons and daughters who enlist that they will be led and sent into danger by officers who make bad decisions.

[dragnet2]

Government attracts the corrupt and inept.

This is nothing new.

Like when it was discovered Bush’s homeland security boss Chertoff, had people who’d entered the country illegally, during war time, wandering around the inside of his private residence.

[The Cajun]

Going to be interesting to see if this affair is ancient history, just recently or still ongoing.
It does make a difference when you think about it.
My wild guess would be ancient affair being used for blackmail and Petraeus decided he had enough.
If that's the case, Obobo may be in for *Mr. Frog's wild ride*............Can only hope so.

[Pete]

A CIA director putting himself in a position to be blackmailed makes no sense. It would be a no brainer. Does he really have that much of a lack of self control? Something doesn’t add up.

[DoughtyOne]

He went to the White House...

More like he was summoned to the White House.

IMO, this WAS NOT Petraeus’ idea.

Look at the department heads being rolled right now.

Holder
Clinton
Petraeus

This isn’t unusual for a second term start, but it sure is off to the races early isn’t it. These are three major departments.

If Clinton and Holder aren’t demonic enough to back your play, you must really have some vile plans in store.

[memyselfandi59]

Just too “coincidental” that Hillary, Panetta, and now Petraus are gone.

The only question to be answered is did they leave to distance themselves from Obama, or did Obama force them out, to put distance between them (as the fall guys for Benghazi) and himself.

[Graewoulf]

Benghazi-Coward Obama has his first fall guy!

Will that be enough to keep Obama from being Impeached as the Coward in Chief?

[newzjunkey]

Odd turn of events.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I still don't understand why he needs to leave. If he was a Conservative Republican he wouldn't have been working for Obama. Would put a crimp in his future political plans but not hurt him too bad with Dems. He can't become baggage on this administration as they've now been given a free pass to do whatever they want with no reelection or accountability to worry about. An affair turns most sensible people off but it was proved n Tuesday what we think doesn't matter one bit in Washington. Decency doesn't rule anymore. With the Dems it's almost a plus. Got to be more to this story.

Seventy years ago I would have said this has Heydrich’s fingerprints all over it.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Within hours of Panetta saying there were no armed military assets near Benghazi.

Obviously, the Administration told Petraeus to lie, he said no, they brought out the affair.
