Scandal probe ensnares commander of U.S., NATO troops in Afghanistan

The FBI probe into the sex scandal that prompted CIA Director David Petraeus to resign has expanded to ensnare Gen. John R. Allen, the commander of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan, the Pentagon announced early Tuesday.

According to a senior U.S. defense official, the FBI has uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 documents — most of them e-mails — of “potentially inappropriate” communications between Allen and Jill Kelley, a 37-year-old Tampa woman whose close relationship with Petraeus ultimately led to his downfall.

Allen, a Marine, succeeded Petraeus as the top allied commander in Afghanistan in July 2011. He also served as Petraeus’s deputy when both generals led the military’s Tampa-based Central Command from 2008 until 2010.

The FBI first notified the Pentagon of its investigation into Allen’s communications with Kelley on Sunday evening, according to the senior defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the pending case.

In response, Pentagon chief Leon E. Panetta referred the investigation on Monday to the Defense Department’s Inspector General for further review, according to a statement released by Panetta early Tuesday as he was traveling to Australia.

beware anyone left standing

Geez in North Korea this would go a lot faster as guys were tried and sentenced to be obliterated by an artillery shell

I can’t wait to see the replacements. Obama is certainly changing the face of the military.

Huh?

So Petraeus the former commander was having an affair with a woman who threatened Kelley, who in turn was having "inappropriate communications" with the current commander?

Am I getting this? If so, WTF? Seriously.

[billorites]

The Taliban has hijacked a crazy lady and flown her into the Pentagon.

[billorites]

And all these women have crazy eyes that scream "runaway!"

[Vermont Lt]

Thousands of pages of emails?

That’s just crazy. No executive in the world would have the time to send hundreds daily. This is Gestapo crap.

And not only that, any executive has been taught (very early) that emails can be subpoenaed. No one with the brains to get this far would make that mistake.

Obama ha sure read his Stalin.

[cripplecreek]

I don't know what the hell is going on but its big and Obama is growing desperate enough to try and call on one of his pursuers to save him.

Report: U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers of Michigan possible replacement for CIA director David Petraeus

This is a repost from another thread.
Take note. The 2 high ranking Navy officers took themselves out of it. Ham resigned. The other, it looks like, might have registered a formal, written complaint about being ordered either to stand down or for not receiving any order at all to help/rescue those guys in Libya.
The other high ranking officers who are being 'outed' in scandal are arabists and anti-Israel muslim sympathizers...including petraeus' so-called mistress...who SUPPORT obama.
Just food for thought.
**********************************************
I offer this quote from the WaPo article to justify my earlier claim. Make of it what you will.
"Petraeus’s fall from grace shocked the CIA but especially stunned his former colleagues in the Army, where he was considered one of the most brilliant and influential commanders of his generation. Allen, a Marine, was likewise seen as an intellectual and upstanding role model who first made his mark as a general in Iraq during the George W. Bush administration and later earned Obama’s confidence.

Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.

Wasn’t John Allen critical of the Afghan war’s ROI and “mad as hell” about the insider assassinations by Afghan troops and police? I believe this was a month or so ago on 60 Minutes with Lara Logan.

Military purge, alright.

[RoosterRedux]

Not buying this. Read Gen Allen's bio.

This is either either a purge or a smoke screen for something else.

[reefdiver]

Who e mails 20,000 documents? Every time I turn this lap top on this cancer has grown. From the 9/11 attack killing 4 Americans,and lies about it being over a video to Obama, Clinton, the CIA, Pentagon, FBI, loose women, secret prisons w/ prisoner, threats, the cover up and now a Marine General.
We’ll see what today brings. Now this, this is a cancer taking over the body.
zer0 will be busy with this for quite some time

Ping to #10

No one with the brains to get this far would make that mistake.

Yeah... and somehow this commander did it with a woman who was threatened by the mistress of the former commander - who was his close friend.

I'm not wrapping my head around this. Then again, I'm not wrapping my head around a lot of things over the past week.

Watch.

[redgolum]

How odd. Obama is for unrestricted sex with anyone, yet is using adultery to take out rivals.

[MestaMachine]

Opposite.
