David Petraeus, the retired four-star general who led the U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, abruptly resigned Friday as director of the CIA after admitting he had an extramarital affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, according to a new report.

WTF is the matter with these guys.

Not defending P but they held this till after the election because Bill Clinton was Obama’s top surrogate and then they trashed P after the vote to get rid of him.

While conducting research over the past three years, Broadwell was afforded extensive access by General Petraeus

Ya think?

I’d like to think that this matters...but it’s going just the way Obama wants. They held on to this until after the election and now they spin whatever the way they want. And after Clinton - who cares? And now the general will try to escape testifying.

I suspect Petraeus refused to be a scapegoat so they threatened and he at least had the decency to resign...but who knows.

I’m glad those who died in Benghazi don’t know the aftermath.

Wow. He really took the title of his book “All In” to extremes.

Still don’t know if Laz would hit it.

Was it a covert affair?

[Andrei Bulba]

Not guilty by a country mile!

[Tax-chick]

LOL!

This will likely sell more books.

Book sales should be brisk.

Yikes, it says she was embedded with Petraeus

I guess the book total was more accurate than anyone thought:

I would've guessed it was Bill Kristol. ;)

[Andrei Bulba]

Man she’s so hot she didn’t even write the book herself!

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Nothing wrong with her. Sultry looking thing.

Probably more appropriate to his intellect.

Love's a funny thing.

She’s a cutie indeed. “We were interviewing and one thing led to another...”
