I think that is exactly right! TOO perfect timing. Something smells!
The fix has been in for a loooong time. We’re all a bunch of schmucks standing on the sidelines while the players play their games.. The question really is... who coaches these players?
Try Occam’s Razor. The most obvious answer is the correct one.
Of course it’s all BS. What do you expect? They’re all POLITICIANS!!! Even Petraeus...you don’t get four stars without being a POLITICIAN!!
I’ve come to the conclusion that we just get lied to by people who are trying to cover their butts.
They had to know about it before he became director. And if you watch the video of this Broadwell “slut” when she was on with John Stewart’s show, it is clear as a bell that she had an affair with him.
He is despicable for putting himself into such a position.
When did she attend West Point? When did she leave the military?
The more I think about this, the less confident I am what’s going to happen.
Petraeus seemed to do a pretty good job under Bush. Then, later, he agreed to serve under Obama, and started to do a really lousy job in Afghanistan. He consented to killing Rules of Engagement, which pretty much tied both hands behind our troops’ backs, and resulted in a failure to accomplish anything more, a rise in the death rate beyond anything seen earlier, and a growing sense among the terrorists that we didn’t really want to win.
Then Obama chose him to head the CIA, and it really looked as if he had turned into an Obama tool. And, if there was some kind of CIA operation to run guns from Libya to the terrorists in Syria and elsewhere, then presumably Petraeus went along with it, as an insider.
Was he being blackmailed? Well, here we see a possible instrument of blackmail. But you don’t use such an instrument unless you have to. Better to have the blackmail victim under your thumb and doing what you demand.
Is this resignation part of a plan to stop Petraeus from testifying about Benghazigate? Or is it his refusal to go along any further with this corrupt business, which forced Obama to fire him? Or did he decide to confess his sins openly and resign, so he could fight back?
I really have no idea. I guess we just need to see what happens next.
The commie dirtbags game the system mockingly in front of our eyes.
Pure corruption at the highest levels.
Is it just me? Fox seems to be avoiding the big elephant in the room.
Betrayus testified before congress that the video caused Bengazi,
just like the other hacks in the Obama administration.
My first thought after hearing about Betrayus affair is that Obama was
Blackmailing Betrayus to toe the party line before the election.
And once Obama used him through the election, he exposed Betrayus
So he would resign and not testify next week. That was my first thought.
Petraeus would have known for a while that he was in trouble. He would also have known that Obama had this hanging over his head. Yes adultery can be punished in the military. I believe they can call Petraeus back to Active Duty to question and punish him. That is the key. Look to see if they call him back to Active Duty or if the spokesman mentions calling him back to Active Duty at a press briefing.
They smell a chance to pin this on a Republican. They will find Benghazi VERY important NOW. The Washington Post and New York Times - after being quiet for months will be ready to jump. It's got LEGS. We're gonna run with this baby - flood that zone boys. It's real - there's Republican blood in the water... They're ready to ride - the friggin' phony high horses are ready and waiting.
Is there anything in this administration that isn’t suspicious? These people can’t even get out of bed in the morning without arousing some controversy. The air of corruption surrounding Washington is very thick.

Mrs. Paula Broadwell interview with Charlie Rose about the General.
I hope there is no “sword” over the head of Patraeus and that he is the honorable man we all believe him to be.
So far we have General Ham and Admiral Gaouette being, “relieved of duty pending an internal investigation into undisclosed allegations of inappropriate judgment” (CNN). Now this. It’s getting more and more interesting.
Cheating and infidelity is seen as a no-no for those with TS Clearance. My last State Dept interview for a friend featured quite a few questions about his lifestyle and whether he had infidelity issues. If Petraeus’ cheating was discovered internally, it could represent a significant security risk thanks to blackmail. That still leaves the question of why he would announce the reason for his resignation and make it public.
Does anyone think Petraeus will show up for the Hearings and if he does, will he pull an Oliver North or will he throw the Administration under the bus.
I’m holding out for the possibility that Petraeus was tired of the WH holding his affair over his head, and using the affair to get Petraeus to support the BS of the video tape. Perhaps Petraeus resigned to regain dignity and to get the truth out.
Let’s give him the chance to be honorable.
He can regain some semblance of respectability and not let the 4 Americans to have died in VAIN, he can do that by testifying of what he knows.
I hope he will do so.
