As part of its long term plan for a regional theocracy (Caliphate), it seems reasonable for Al Qaeda and its supporters to further weaken US military leadership. Its perfectly reasonable to think Al Qaeda and other nation states are running intelligence operations against US officials. Any intelligence officer knows that somewhere between 30%-60% of people cheat on their spouse. They also know everyone uses Gmail, and US officials using Gmail have been hacked. American media loves a scandal, so its easy to take out someone in leadership with a story about sex. So, if a foreign intelligence officer monitored the habits of 3 key officials, statistics says 1 or 2 of those officials will be cheating on their spouse. If you monitor enough officials email and activities, you will find a suitable patsy somewhere along the way. In this case it happens to be General Allen and Petraeus. It could have just as easily been the Joint Chiefs or Panetta. China, Israel, India and perhaps Russia have the skills required to hack Gmail and track government officials on a large scale. China and India need a lot of oil to keep growing. China would be more than happy to use oil from a new Middle East theocracy. Al Qaeda, through friends, can get to our Gmail.

Uh, yeah. Which is why espionage has exploited that fact for nearly as long. So I suppose that would be Occam's Twin-Bladed Razor in this case - both factors combine into the simplest explanation.
Too many in American media enjoy vicarious sex ~ to the exclusion of any other kind too!
Unfortunately, you’re right. People want to blame the media for these kind of stories but that’s what makes money.
Patreaus may be our last hope to stop/slow the marxist-mooseslum and begin the process of saving America.
What was it Rush said the other day? "Too many generals being ruled by their privates."
I’ve seen that look before. It’s the look of a man who as just heard his boss lie. I think the fourth man is either General Dempsey or Allen, I’m not sure.
My thoughts as well, plus, I think that’s a man who just heard his boss say something that wasn’t true.
Was that taken today?
They are in uniform, so not sure when that picture was taken, but Petraeus sure has that look of "What the H.ll are you talking about", and he has his body turned into Zero.
“Was that taken today?”
No. April, 2011. Note Petraeus was in his military uniform. He retired from the military to take over the CIA.

Thanks for clearing the date and occasion for us.
If Patreaus is actually a good man (and serious I have no idea and cannot pass any judgement on him at all), he may have accept the CIA position to keep an eye on things?
From your fingertips to God’s ears. Hope so. We’ll see.
