Petraeus resigns!

[MikaelTyson]

After his admission of having an affair, General David Petraeus resigns. He will not be testifying privately or publicly about the Benghazi cover up. Link to full story to follow shortly. Stay tuned for updates, as this story is still breaking!

[iamthesgt]

I saw this. Surprised me, came totally out of the blue.

[loakii]

I bet a bunch of conspiracy theories come out because of this.... Sad to hear great leader for the war on terrorism is done.. When I was in Bosnia and he only had one star, he was one of the few we flew around all the time on any given notice

its a sad day to see a great Hero resign, im thinking a cospiricy is afoot.

[HAVOK]

I agree with the cover up. Most likely because of Benghazi

Yup this ^^^

[ApollosArrow89]

agreed

[RogueScot]

He probably fell on his sword.

[DahliaBellona]

There's so many things going on with this; I just read (though it's not officially confirmed, due to just *anonymous sources*) that apparently he had carried on an affair with his biographer, and as a CIA director, an extramarital affair is a possible breach of security....

Like this is THE FIRST ONE that's ever happened!?

Please. This is all just BS. I can understand Petraeus being all honorable, but, seriously!? He's the third CIA director to be canned. And Sec Def Panetta is on his way out as well. Everyone seems to be jumping ship with this administration....

Something wrong?

Agreed, way to many moves since BHO came in. To add, I am also not buying the "lighter, eliter" military. JSOC is great and all, but they are not ground seizers or holders....we still need grunts with bayonets, tanks, and helos. Every time we downsize like this...someone comes around and shellacks us.

Kopfe they need to make you one of the joint chiefs so you can hash this shit out.

Agreed, we just need to send in a letter to the JCOS and say we got a great advisor for them and send Kopfe to them lol. But i agree with everyone, too much moving pieces going on here right after the election, something is up here. I smell something fishy and its not the air here in Korea.

[David_3033]

It's way too convenient for him now to just come up out of the blue with an affair. Now I guess he wont testify about the Benghazi attack. No, that sounds like great timing for the affair news to just pop up.

Yea I read that he is no longer testifying in the Benghazi incident....convenient.

Can't say anything that hasn't already been said. What a cluster.

He now is exempt from testifying...his replacement will testify in his place...convenient? I agree.

Scandal! Cover up! They are trying to throw everyone but BHO under the bus for this. It's fucking horse shit. Slimy scumbag.

[Twizted875]

This belongs in the crock of bullshit section :)

[David_3033]

How do they think the American people are that stupid? Anyone can easily see this is a bullshit coverup. I really would like to know the truth whether we all like it or not! :mad:

[MikaelTyson]

I'd love to know the truth. But this looks like just another example of us not getting it. Also, I looked for the crock of bullshit section when I posted it. Nowhere to be found haha

Honestly? They think the American people are that stupid.......because as a whole they are. People are more concerned with the free handout today than with the cost it incurs tomorrow.

Yeah I know it is unfortunate, but you are absolutely correct though. It pains me to admit that, but most Americans are stupid... We are quickly entering into the welfare state and most always looks into everything as what's in it for them.

Agreed. There is a sad lack of common sense, a complete inability to think logically, and a willingness to swallow almost anything that is labeled as "news". Americans are stupid, stupid, stupid.

Reminds me of what Tommy Lee Jones said in MIB, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it..."

Nice. Or (I forget who said it) "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups".

As I mentioned on tonight's radio show, this is a case of the tail wagging the dog.

Interesting article here. Make your own opinion on it once you read it:

Lawmakers raise questions on how Petraeus affair was handled (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/11/11/rep-king-says-petraeus-story-just-doesnt-add-up/)

I like how something like 90% of the responses are trying to claim that it's all innocent, or deflect it towards another topic.

After further reading, I also like how the whole issue on this specific article is apparently just a Republic trying to dig up conspiracies....as apparently all these people forgot to read past the first paragraph.


About all I can say is that this further shows just how stupid the American people as a whole are. They care more about (R) and (D) than what's actually going on.



Okay, read some more comments, and....yeah, people are so fucking stupid it's utterly pathetic. People need to learn to read before they actually comment on something.

[RogueScot]

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." Freud. It is easy to see conspiracy in everything. He just may have had an affair and feels bad about it.

[MikaelTyson]

Scot, at any other time, I would agree. I hate conspiracies. But this is too much.

[jxspyder]

Yeah, sometimes a cigar is a cigar, but every once in a while it was used for purposes other than smoking.......

If he's just feeling guilty....why now, days before he's supposed to testify on an issue that stinks worse than my daughter's last diaper?

Off topic, Dave this is the second thread I've seen you delete posts by members I don't recognize. Just curious, spammers?

I wondered the same thing. I saw the same guy with deleted posts in another thread but didn't recognize the name.

I know i'm late but this is some crazy ass shit. Way to go Petraeus lol

[toby2533]

Now Marine General Allen was found to have been emailing the 2nd girl involved in this. Ok, so most of the generals are my age they should now about email opsec right?

[toby2533]

Now there is another girl being probed (ha, ha) by the FBI. My thoughts after looking this Kelly girl up I say she is an Israel spy, from a Lebanese family that immigrated to the US ( that for you all that wear tin foil on your head so they can't read your minds) or they are all part of a very high price escort service that the pentagon pays to keep senior generals happy new book 4 stars of gray.

Leave it to a leatherneck to put it in simple, yet poignant terms. This whole thing smells rotten

Did ya'll see where Patraeus is going to go ahead and testify before Congress? I guess that conspiracy theory is gone.
