Hmm. I smell a setup. Did Petraeus refuse to lie to cover Obama and Hillary's butts?

You can believe that, as we watch this unfold, the planning began (also known as the spin) the moment the attacks started.

His resignation appears to indicate that he refused to be blackmailed. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks/months. I expect that Petraeus will be looking over his shoulder for some time.

I wonder if they tried to blackmail him, saying if you open your trap, we'lll tell all.

He said screw you, I'll admit it and resign.

I'd be very carefull if I was Patraeus.

Uh-oh, my 'conspiracy-sense' is tingling. I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and say they attempt to impeach Obama over the whole Benghazi situation ...

Re: Petraeus resigns
 

Shocking indeed...that he didn't use twitter. Lost a lot of respect for him. I know he retired from the Army but that is a crime in their book. I would say he could redeem himself by telling all he knows about Benghazi but I doubt that will happen. He'll likely try and fade away.

"If a single person has an affair with a married person, under circumstances which are determined to be prejudicial to good order and discipline, or of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, they can be charged with adultery."

Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, and Clinton all cheated but never even considering stepping down. This is not about adultery. He told em' straight up, I'm going to burn you over Libya. Nothing will change that. He has seen too many good people killed and maimed in these wars, heard countess stories of uncommon bravery. I hope that is what is going on. And, his potential run for President is also still intact. Half the country is divorced. Nobody cares.

Besides being an author she's also a Major in the Army Reserve. Adultery in the Army, that's an automatic Court Martial.

I was just about to say that Beast.. I'm surprised they have not tried to jail her since adultery is punishable under UCMJ.
