Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor, Latin lex parsimoniae) is the law of parsimony, economy, or succinctness. It is a principle stating that among competing hypotheses, the one that makes the fewest assumptions should be selected.

The simplest hypothesis requiring the fewest assumptions is that the anti-military, anti-American thug in our White House had General Petraeus taken down for political reasons or for revenge. Petraeus was clearly in the wrong morally, but there isn't even the slightest indication that his conduct warranted either an FBI investigation or a demand for his resignation. If Clinton's perjury about adultery did not justify resignation, then Petraeus' honesty about the same topic does not justify a forced resignation.

Paula Broadwells’ father said this is not true and there is way more than meets the eye here. He said wait till everybody finds out the real truth. I hope the poor guy doesn’t wind up in an accident.

I agree. Had to discredit and take down Petraeus to cover for Bengazi.

Well, it could be simpler than that even. Petraeus had just returned from a fact finding trip to Benghazi, Libya and several other Middle Eastern countries, tracking down the facts of the Benghazi fiasco. He could not be allowed to testify.

My guess is that the Obama administration uncovered this information about the affair and were sitting on it in the hope that Romney would appoint Petraeus to be his VP. Remember that, when the MSM was claiming that Romney had picked Petraeus?
