WHAT!? WTF did she see in him? SET UP ding ding ding

What do men and women ever see in each other? The woman in this case is a West Point graduate.

Paula Broadwell, in her hometown newspaper:

Paula Broadwell interviewed in Jan 2012 on Jon Stewart about the book. My read: a driven achiever (as you might expect as she is a West Point grad 1995), runner/athletic...

It is also true Petraeus is a driven person, and has jealous peers— who really don’t like CIA, and as regards Benghazi.. well who knows what they knew about this “relationship”.
It might all be true. One thing, she may very well be on TV this weekend— does not look the type to be shy if it is not true.

The left should be praising Petraus, that was very William Jefferson Clinton-esque of him.

Another of your well stated comments. I feel the same, it’s out of our hands. Personally, I can’t keep up with it all as evil has totally taken over. I was just at the Allen West thread and he’s calling for a recount. Remember before I said, it’s going too fast. Now I’m in the ‘can hardly wait’ column. Reading too much news about the liberal dirty work does this to me! So back to your words ‘it’s out of our hands’. Thankfully, I read ‘the book’ to the end.

If he has something to tell us, he had better say it loud and publicly, say it fast and say it completely befor he gets Vince Fostered. If he knows anything at all about Bengazi or about the One, he had better spill the beans under oath or we will read about how he shot himself eight times in the head.

can they really knock him off now, now that he is under a microscope?

“No way there’ll be an election. Book it.”

I thought at the time that 2008 would be the last real election we would have.

Most countries have elections (China does not), but Venezuela, the old USSR, Cuba, all have elections. We will too, but not real ones.

I think you are keeping up. Don’t thank me, please. You are here. You care about your country, or you would not be here. I am nothing more than a citizen, like each person here, at Free Republic. There is no in-depth knowledge held by me.

i dont think this has been mentioned yet. maybe, pretaeus knew that the lsm wouldnt cover this unless it had a sexual component, so he may that public so the lsm wouldnt bury benghazi.

I don’t get this guy. He purposely gets fired in a big way (how else do you interpret trashing your boss and his entire organization in a public forum?) because being a 4-star under Zero is so miserable. Then he becomes Director of the CIA (Which is weirder? That he’d go back to working for Zero in his backyard or that Zero would hire him back?). Now here he is “resigning to spend more time with his family” AGAIN (minus his wife of 40 years).

I like Patreus but he should’ve been sitting on the beach sipping margaritas 4 years ago. He’s become a real self-sabotage artist.

ok, i dont want to sound like a jerk, but i have to say this. my post where i said petraus included the affair so that the lsm would cover it, i posted that several minutes ago. about 10:15 est. just now on greta, congressan trey, cant remember last name just said the lsm would coverit bcause it involves sex. so just maybe, the truth will come out.

one more thing, since in my own mind i just nailed that (oh forgive me, i need something after that election), my prediction beore this election was obama woud be reelected but would end up impeached or resign because you cant keep lying and keep competant people around you.

Classic HP? It does look like what many have said on this thread. Is there another angle? Money, has anyone checked bank accounts. Religious ties? True hetro, bi, or what is the preference? Know these questions are starting to get out of the family arena, so trying to keep it simple. Every angle is the possible angle. Read the FBI is involved. Agreement with others. Tip of Iceberg. The whole bunch of ‘em scratch each other and we only hear what they want us to hear? On top of that, the best lines ever are we said it, so it is true. Have heard that one many a time from these people, if they are people. Sometime I wonder. Sorry FRiend, did not mean for this to be a boring post.

Am praying this is not over but reading and listening am thinking it is. Reminds me of the Kennedy Assassination. This time the victim is the American people. Big time money will have to be spent and then still will be a mystery?

Of course! It would all be explained in the suicide note that he writes after he shoots himself.

well they had no scandal for W so the dems invented something with blowback sort of like a scandal called Iraq. They turned a successful although controversial invasion and occupation into a debacle. considering it was a muslim nation it actually went reasonably well. nothing goes as planned in war.

In any event W’s 2nd term fiasco - real or fictional - was Iraq.

I think he waited until after the election to spill the beans so it wouldn’t hurt Obama’s re-election chances.

A loyal Obama supporter until the end.

Yep...high crimes and misdemeanors.

Add that to dereliction of duty and we have impeachment hearings in the near future. I pray that Petreaus tells the whole truth about this corrupt administration. I won’t hold my breath though. Very few good men left in our government.

DADT might apply to hetero affairs. But as a former military officer, I can tell you that hetero affairs weren’t prosecuted unless there was gross misconduct or a supervisor/subordinate relationship.

DADT doesn’t allow commanders to have relationships with their subordinates.
