Petraeus out....

[BPTactical]

Just heard on the radio that he has resigned as Director General of the CIA.
Blowback from Benghazi?

[buckeye4rnr]

Definitely. I mentioned this Tuesday night in one of the election threads. He had been looking for a new job because he felt like he was betrayed and thrown under the bus.

I'll read the story before I comment next time.

I read extra- marital affair...

[buckeye4rnr]

I was told about a week ago he was getting ready to resign(looking for jobs at universities) and the same individual just said the affair likely isn't true and the White House has been talking shit about him.

...he felt like he was betrayed and thrown under the bus.

Yup. That's the way "they" do things in this admin... Read history, all the regimes that follow this ideology do the same thing. No one is safe, no one (in their admiin, not talking about the general populace).

Another one airbrushed out of the picture......rather Stalinesque isn't it?

He WAS thrown under the bus, I do recall hearing the Administration say that "the Intelligence community failed" when it came to Benghazi.
Petraeus out along with Ham and Gouete(sp).
Nah, nothing to see here.......move along now.

Indeed.

People don't confess to extramarital affairs just because.

People don't confess to extramarital affairs just because.

Agreed. I think there's a lot more to it than that... hell, affairs happen all the time, more than anyone would like to admit, and a lot of the time folks keep their jobs. ie. Bill Clinton.

I suspect he's an "oath keeper".
