Petraeus out....

Maybe his wife told him that if he wanted to save the marriage, he had to resign.

Probably more like: "you can resign or be investigated for espionage"

[Pancho Villa]

I imagine that, while politicians get to dick around (until they get caught, after a certain stage I'm sure the opposition has a PI trailing you all the time just to see,) to be head of sensitive places + have a mistress invites all sorts of bad shit. Not just that the lady is a spy herself, but suppose the bad guys find out before we do? Suppose they say, we can tell your wife / your boss / the papers you've been dicking around? Why not just give us this completely innocent piece of info?

Then once their tiny piece of info is gotten in exchange for silence, well. Now you're a spy. If you don't continue to work for us, not only are you fucked from the affair but you're going to jail for espionage when we burn the fuck out of you. How about it, champ?

Last guy you want open to that sort of thing is head of the CIA. A completely, down to the bone 100% honorable man wouldn't be taken for that, but "We have to trust anyone in any position of authority is 100% honorable" is a bad play, historically.

Something is certainly going on.

"Gents, I broke the Petraeus story here more than a week before it happened. Now the follow up, this story they are floating out on a Friday afternoon is pure BS. There was an affair but there is much more to this, namely Libya, maybe something else."

Should be interesting

[Monky]

There is nothing fishing going on here at all.. seals, generals, directors.. OH MY!

[trlcavscout]

Maybe he couldnt deal with the lies and was gonna flip on the white house, the pres knew this and gave him options, resign over BS or sleep with da fishes?

I still think the WH wants direct control over the cia, maybe holder HAHA!
