The conspiratorial side of me thinks perhaps David and Stanley may have gone fishing together recently, just the two of them. Stan offers to take the dive and David says he will take the AF job.
Patraeus really does have the Obozo between a rock and a hard place. My guess is that Patraeus demanded and got a whole lot of assurances. And I would bet they are documented. So, if he is successful (highly unlikely) then his standing in the public’s eyes gets even greater. If Obozo tries to slip the knife in Patraeus can wave the assurances in front of the camera as he turns in his resignation. If one has any notions of say taking a shot at high elected office, either one of these scenarios works well for them.

I’m of the same conspiratorial thinking. Wonder what ol’ Stan is up to these days. Didn’t hear anything about loosing any stars, either. Have a feeling it will be an active summer.
