As an former 4 star general and head of the CIA his first duty is to our great nation. He has ordered men to go to battle and risk their lives. Most of these men returned unharmed some returned with horrible injuries and some returned to Dover, Delaware in the back of an Air Force C-17 in a coffin. Their coffins were covered with the flag of The United States of America to whom they swore allegiance and died for. Although the personal tragedy of General Peteraus is sad, his fist duty is to his country. His personal life should have absolutely no bearing on the fact he must testify before Congress now, not later. If he refuses to testify he is besmirching the graves of dead soldiers and CIA personell that were prior Navy Seals and men than valiantly gave their lives to our country trying to protect and save the lives of their fellow Americans.

General Petreaus desire to "put his personal life back together" pales by comparison to the action of those that gave their lives in Benghazi. If he be a stranger to truth he shall also be a stranger to honor.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

“His wife if a leftard Obamaphile.

I don’t care what she’s going through.”

Yup, she is our enemy. IMO, not enough bad things can happen to any of these liberals! BTW, the General is a piece of garbage! Subpoena his ass! There are 4 dead Americans, who cares about his personal life!!

This is the Muslim president helping his masters.

While using whitey to cover up his deeds.

Petraeus' wife is a Fauxcahontas puppet.

P4 is apparently a Prima Donna - though likely well earned.

Doesn't mean his isn't a 'rat like his wife.

“his fist duty”

Uh Oh!! Bad typo!! Thanks for catching it. It should read as “first duty”

Why should he get that choice? He’s the one that screwed the pooch. Literally. It’s time to man up and do the right thing.

These things are multiplying like bunnies.

Definitively out of the box. All we have to do is watch who ignores this scandal. Just kidding of course.

I certainly have my own mind to web translation issues.

However, being a literalist can provide personal entertainment in these troubled times. ;-)

So let’s set aside an FR period of silence for about 2 seconds to have a pity party for the ‘honorable’ general. Whoops. Time’s up. Now where were we?

"I’m guessing he was one of the biggest suck ups that passed through West Point. "

Though he does seem to have superior competence in his field, both he and and the broad well recognize how to get a head by getting a leg up through symbiotic use of their superiors.

You were a stranger to truth and now a stranger to honor. Too late. You can cry for the rest of your life. You are Humpty Dumpty. Remember him? General you have until Wednesday at 8AM. We will hear from you under oath at 9AM. Good day.

Gee, I hope Petraeus isn’t so overcome with grief that he commits suicide...like Vince Foster did.

Of course you’re right. But, Holly has a cute face and may have been pretty as a cadet or whatever, and there are gorgeous women everywhere over sixty who are overweight so that was not my critiique. But to abhor a tube of lipstick and a blush brush in exchange for butch bangs and a Peter Pan haircut cut from the 50’s in this day and age stands out as passive aggressive rebellion, or depression and probably purposeful.

I am the first to deplore dressing for the street walker look, all cleavage and legs and arms, reducing men to common objects for a woman’s own self gratification, it’s a scandal and sinful. But the other extreme attracts about as much attention, and Holly’s appearance was just shocking for me. She is not interested in her man, that’s apparent.
