The General chose to remain in the spotlight at whatever cost to his heretofore fine reputation....and he's reaping the fallout he himself sowed.
He should have remained under the radar till an honorable administration was elected and all the commies, traitors and enemies within the various marble halls were swept out of Washington DC. Many appointment avenues would then be open to him to cover himself with glory. But he made a bad choice.
Since I firmly believe the 'Rat exodus from D.C. will begin on the day after November 6, Petraeus is probably kicking himself for the can of worms he finds himself in. He is now tied to Obama's sorry policies, deserving or not.....and is eventually expendable and certainly will be thrown under the jeep along with other of Obama's fall guys and dolls.
I'm sorry to say that I think his honorable career is now permanently tainted by association with O'Beezlebub. Lie down with a dog, get up with the mange.

I never did like or trust Petaeus contrary to many, many of those looking for a reputable rescuer from Obama and his cabal. I know it is not goody goody to make such a choice based on little more than instinct. However, I am reminded of generals throughout our history that were not what I thought always acted foremost in/for the interests of this Nation. General Dempsey is an Obama shill and of particular thought is General Wesley Clark who I consider as a bomber/killer of our WWII friends in Yugoslavia while carrying out the orders to help Muslims that were not and are not our friends.
I sure agree with you about Petreaus, but while reading your post it occurred to me: suppose that he was ORDERED by Obama to do things he really distrusted, and right now he is talking to Issa, et al, and has decided to reveal to Congress all he understands. That sure would be a great “whistle-blower” to have...
Wishful thinking, I know, but it sure would be an intriguing development.
