Acquaint yourself with Occams Razor. Powerful men (and even not-so-powerful ones) have let the little head do the thinking for the big head since time immemorial. The simplest explanation is usually the best.

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.

Someone on here said it was Allen, I thought it was.

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.

“US President Barack Obama announces that he will nominate (from left to right) Leon Panetta as Secretary of Defense; General David Petraeus as the next director of the CIA; General John Allen as commander for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and Ryan Crocker as the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan.

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?
