Petraeus 'flew mistress to Paris for a trip that was funded by the government'
Daily Mail UK ^

David Petreaus took his mistress with him on a government funded trip to Paris after he was named director of the Central Intelligence Agency, according to news reports. Petraeus made the trip with 40-year-old Paula Broadwell, who has written a fawning biography of him, in July 2011, an unnamed source told Buzzfeed. Petraus was heading to his new job as chief of the CIA at the time. Sixteen months later, the four-star general has resigned from his post after his affair with Broadwell was uncovered by the FBI.

This has so much Obama stink on it, even a Dog wouldn’t sniff it. I am so disgusted with our Government. And we don’t have any brave patriots that will do anything about it. Sick !

In the old days, a real man would retire to a back room with a whiskey, a Luger and one bullet and do the right thing.

Why it is just amazing how much is known in a couple of days after resigning. Think what we might learn if Obama resigned tomorrow? Now how long did it take the FBI to get to Benghazi? Priorities priorities priorities....

They are trying to destroy him to the point that anything he reveals will be lost in the rubble of his career.

Not that he isn't a scumbag in his own right, but the Administration is blowing up the rubble at this point.

Holly Petraeus may have known about affair all along - family friends tell Fox. Why reveal it now...just days before Petraeus to testify?

I figured she did. All the pictures of the two doesn’t show much love or passion.

Partners, they look like partners.

She hangs in for the ride to the White House and he does whatever he wants.

Business.

I would consider him more of a real man if he told an open House Hearing everything he knows. Cowards blow their brains out.

Yes, we are all simply fascinated with Gen Patreaus’ sex life, as it takes attn. away from the issues surrounding Benghazi.

And, conveniently, for a nation of folks whose women are mostly doped up, and I mean dopey, on birth control pills and whose males are doped up on porn and sports, they will read this as exoneration and they will take away the message that Benghazi is in the past and their own behavior is forgiven.

If you think our hired (elected and paid for by our tax $s) are working for us, protecting the Constitution, look at it again. scrub yourself away from the TV. Quit expecting your SPOUSE to do the job and do something.

Go to confession

Go to Mass.

Go to services.

Compare what you are getting there to the horrible commercials you are getting in your living room on national sports and think again.

Write a letter to Lindsay dopey Graham and let these people know that yo are watching them and then tell your colleagues around the water cooler, teacher’s lounge happy hour bar, that they need to be aware of the Constitution. It’s available through any google search an/or on Heritage Foundation website.

Find out about Benghazi 0 the ambassador was killed.

He is the equivalant of a 4 star General. Even that we don’t give a rats a$$, our enemies do. They get it. There is no glossing over this.

Our wimpy response (the enemy doesn’t have any more of an idea that we don’t agree with Obama than we give a crap about the misery and complete destituteness going on in Staten Island) is obvious to them, as we whine over our election.

Why it is already known the General used tax dollars to tour the romantic sights. I can't wait to read about where else these two love birds frolicked. Meanwhile, Obama and Clinton are sheltered off as if they are victims of a love sick general.

Caesar Petraeus during his triumph had no one to whisper in his ear “You are just man...just a man”. Instead he found Agrippina who whispered sweet nothings in his ear and fed him sweet dates from the hem of her form-fitting stola.

Such is the temptation of power.

What the hell was Petraeus doing frolicking around with a 40 year old woman? Couldn’t he find a 22 year old hottie?
