"so, does he not get questioned about Benghazi now that he retired?"

According to a Breitbart article linked from Drudge, he was supposed to testify next week, and now because he's resigned, he won't be testifying to anything. Don't understand that. Why is he eliminated from testifying on what happened on his watch? It's total bull$hit.

This same article reports they believe the White House knew about the resignation prior to the election, as well as Holder's plans to leave, but like the Iran attack on the drone, the Obama administration held the info back so it wouldn't interfere with the election. Here's the link to the Brietbart article:

"Seventy years ago I would have said this has Heydrich’s fingerprints all over it."

The only difference is that Petraeus is being allowed to resign, and not told to do himself in.

Dang spell check — court martial. Of course it was for an affair. Too much bad news for the military right around Veterans Day.

Yes it WAS at the memorial and if you “parse” Di Fi’s July statement, there is some real ulterior meaning.

I wish everyone would look away from the “sex” part of this. My guy tells me THAT part is the SMOKE AND MIRRORS to detract from what happened in Benghazi (and what was SUPPOSED to occur that night in Benghazi). The two brave Seals were NOT in the loop and they distrusted (roads bumps!?!) the Obot “plan.”

Again—as suprised as I am by the resignation, I am more taken in by Feinstein’s intel knowledge and her statement of this afternoon (plz, mr president DON’T accept the resignation).

The “affair” part of the story is NOTHING.

Nobody saw it coming and nobody believes he’s resigning because of an extra marital affair.

Verify BEFORE trust.

“Lockheed Martin Exec Who Followed Admin Lead on WARN Act Resigns Due to Affair (Coincidence?)”

The CEO-in-waiting of the defense contractor who declined to issue WARN Act layoff notices on the urging of the Obama administration — sequestration-related notices mandated by law that would have gone out just before the election — has resigned, citing an affair.

Your typo misspelling of martial is almost Freudian.

I don't understand why she would not want the resignation. What am I missing?

He is a few days late, he should have resigned last week and spilled the beans on Benghazi if he cared about his country.

For one, she is giving herself cover (why didnt BHO insist he stay on until he testified?). Or two, making BHO’s culpability all the more (he allowed or forced Patreus out).

Fienstein minces no words. Just like she scooped the OBL announcement (really, she was overwrought?) or her admonition today on the letter. Even Kerry (who just spent a week w/Dear Leader prepping for the debates) is backing away.
