Yes, and the chief executive of Lockheed Martin has resigned under similar circumstances, an affair with a subordinate. He’s being replaced by a woman. I bet that Obama appoints a woman to replace Petraeus, too.

Just looking at it you wouldn’t know the power that resides in a vagina.

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

This from her website.

I would add that Gen. Petraeus apparently had “extensive access” to Ms. Broadwell.

Sounds like General Petraeus was afforded extensive access to Broadwell.

"Paula is married to Dr. Scott Broadwell, an interventional radiologist who has saved more lives than she has. They have two very busy young boys, Lucien and Landon. They live together in Charlotte, NC, and when Paula is not on the frontlines, online, or writing lines, they love to run, ski, and surf together. "

Her hubby is a good looking young doctor. I don't get it.

Bet ya she likes women too!

Had this came out before the election, IMO, we'd had a new president...

Wonder if the White house knew and used it to control him.

ANYONE who feels it necessary to tell you he/she is a hero....isn’t. I call your attention to john kerry, john mccain, and colin powell just for starters.

Amen, at one time I actually thought Colin Powell was a great general. Nowadays I don't know how the public would be able to tell a Great General from one who brown-nosed their way to the top. Accepting an appointment to serve in a Democratic administration is probably an indicator though.

The whore probably slurped her way to graduation. She has young boys and a husband. What a-holes, Betrayous and Whoredwell.

There’s a “ring knockers” joke here somewhere.

I don't get it.

Some women really get off on their power to destroy lives with their twat.

All I can say is that I spent three years writing a guy’s biography, and I didn’t have an affair with him.
