No offense, but I think you’re wrong.
I believe that the specificity of Petraeus’ resignation statement last week was a declaration of independence from the blackmail the O thugs were using to keep him in line.
He could have easily resigned “for personal reasons” or “to spend more time with his family” or some other generic reason. Why admit to adultery, thus exposing his wife and children to ridicule, unless he’s specifically removing the blackmail ammo they were using to keep him quiet?

Ridicule? I think they are looked upon with pity. I bet the wife stays with him.
Good point.
No offense taken; I've been wrong before. ;-)
If P4's point was to "remove the blackmail ammo", he could have done that just as easily the week before, and had a much larger effect.
It still looks to me like Barry-O is pulling his strings.
I'll believe otherwise if and when I see it.
