Gen. Petraeus has done irrepeparable damage to his career. Yet, all is not lost. If he gets right with God, the Lord will heal his sin-sick soul.

Not necessarily. This is a career enhancer in certain circles, particularly if he chooses to run for office as a dim.

We live in a nation that allows homosexuals to “marry” one another. What makes the author think Petraeus even cares about his vows. A majority of the country doesn’t.

Petraeus had an affair, that was wrong and morally reprehensible. Has he lied about it while under oath? If not, he’s not as bad as Clinton.

Give me a break... Studies show that half the women and sixty percent of the men in this country have an affair in their married life.

You’re probably right. We needn’t look any further than Bill Clinton, who received a rousing reception at the Democrat National Convention this past summer.

If true, that makes me feel kinda special.

Petraeus has shown much better taste than Clinton.

Bill Clinton lied and refused to resign. He has no honor.

Petraeus has shown shame & remorse and resigned.

Big difference.

“Worst disgrace” seems like a major overstatement.

Worse than Blagojevich? Eric Holder’s Gun Walker? Obama and Clinton on the Benghazi coverup? Jack Abramoff bribery? Charlie Rangel? Jesse Jackson Jr.? William Jefferson? Trafficant?

Or, if you’re stuck on sex scandals ... John Edwards? Larry Craig? Elliot Spitzer? Anthony Weiner? Jim McGreevey? Mark Sanford? The Secret Service? Jack Ryan?

Petraeus is hardly the biggest desgrace. He had an affair. With a woman. That he didn’t pay. And, he wasn’t doing so behind his dying wife’s back. No bribery, embezzlement, or deaths of federal agents. An affair.

There are a lot bigger disgraces than Petraeus.

This is all about Benghazi testimony and who will spill the beans.

Billy Graham’s policy was never be alone in a room with a woman (except his wife).

Smart policy for a powerful man.

IMHO...its all about trying not to discuss election fraud and voter disenfranchisement.

Don’t let Ms Broadwell, or whatever her name is, off the hook so easily. She is a military officer too. She knows the rules and deliberately flaunted them. nd then she went further and threatened a third party. I wonder what she threated Ms. Kelley with that sent her runnng to the FBI?

I’m not excusing Petraeous, but it seems to me that Ms. Broadwell should suffer the same consequences — loss of rank, etc.

“If true, that makes me feel kinda special.”

Here’s a link, but you can find others... It should come as no surprise since the divorce rate is over 50%.

The saddest part is, just like Clinton, his personal failures will overshadow what might otherwise have been a stellar legacy. Many have stated that Petraeus was the greatest military commander since Eisenhower, but now he will be remembered for just being another guy who cheated on his wife and got caught.
