Until then, Petraeus is Obama's b!tch.

I would recommend a commission be organized, let's call it the Phallus group. It would include Newt Gingrich,Barney Frank,Eliot Spitzer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gary Hart, John Edwards with Bill Clinton as chairman

So we would prosecute a general but the President of the United States not only gets a pass on it but is hailed as a rock star? I want off this effing ride.

It could be a game of chicken between Petraeus and Soetoro, each one has something on the other (Benghazi vs. UCMJ) neither wants pursued.

They bring him back to active duty and court martial. I don’t see it happening but it can happen.
To: TaraP
I forget the Article number, but sodomy is a crime according to the UCMJ.
