I am thinking the annex was keeping a wall between itself and the consulate in order to hide just how many CIA were in Libya. Not just from the Libyans, but maybe also from the State Department. Remember how they had to send a second plane to get them out and the Libyans were supposedly shocked at how many Americans were actually at the annex?

Here’s what I don’t understand about this—was there no background investigation done before he took the job at the agency? No polygraph? Nothing that would have uncovered the affair prior? I’m pretty familiar with the process and I find it hard to believe. Both that they wouldn’t investigate and that they wouldn’t have known prior to his start about the affair. Which would make this whole claim of the affair being suddenly uncovered completely ridiculous.

We live in a Banana Republic now. King Obama had his reasons for wanting Petraeus to be CIA Director. Nothing would get in the way of that.

There is no way this affair wasn’t known. I have been in similar situations at the office and it is very noticeable when the boss is spending a lot of private time with a particular young hottie. They knew and chose him anyway.

There may be one reason we have not considered that prevented Petraeus from taking a polygraph. For all we know Petraeus has been CIA for a long, long time.If so it would have made really good sense to put him in charge of CIA. If so he may have taken numerous polygraphs over the years before the affair.

Just a guess.
