YEP he was.

His excuse was an affair?

That's so much bull crap. Since when does anyone care about affairs any more?

Same here. My conspiracy theory friends annoy me with their stupidity, but when I look at this I just think: wtf??

Things you once thought were "stupid" and "silly conspiracy theories" will start to become stupider and stupider and more obvious day by day and pretty soon you will join at least some of the conspiracy theorists.

Now Obama is claiming he knew nothing until General Patraeus told him in person on Thursday when he resigned but James Clapper was informed on election day.

How stupid does Obama think we are? Does he really think we dont believe that the first think Clapper did was pick up the phone and call the President? If that is really the case then it's career suicide and the guy has no business being the DNI and once again Obama's lack of experience shows and if he was told (which we ALL know he was) he once again has lied to the American people.

I honestly think that Obama lies so much that he is starting to believe his own lies.

The news stated that IF they felt they needed him to testify in that The Benghazi attack that they will still call him. But they will now call some other bozo who will probably just refer to the official files or reports.

So anything that is not written in the report probably won't come up.

But where the FBI were wrong is that they knew about the affair, and where national security is concerned, affairs are by law supposed to be REPORTED. But the FBI did not do what they were supposed to do... report it.

Perhaps the man was being blackmailed (by someone in the FBI perhaps?) and decided to resign and admit to the affair to get out from under the blackmail. That's what it sounds like to me.

The ultra conservatives are right a mistake by the state department like 9 11 maybe we should take libya out on Iraq like george bush did.Maybe they have weapons of mass destruction.Pick a country with oil and lets start bombing like bush and cheney because we all know how honest they were.

actually there are Chemical Weapons around in Libya!
Only their Prophet knows in whose Hands they are by now!

Sorry everyone, but Iraq did go uranium shopping in Niger.

If only the BBC knew the meaning of NORMAL sexual relations.

Comrades! The new day of flexibility is upon us. At last we can deal with the enemies the way enemies should be dealt with. As Red Square has pointed out in his inestimable post, we can finally show the world that we can build Socialism in one country. We will get it Right!

One of the tasks of all right-thinking people is vigilance against enemies of the State and of the Leader. The Party is the vanguard of this vigil, ever-watchful for those who would slander the moral correctness of all State actions or the wisdom of the Leader’s decisions. Previous incarnations of the Soviet have used crude methods (after all, what would you expect from a Georgian peasant) of fear, imprisonment, even execution to combat the enemies of the State. Here is where we, the New Vanguard of the Revolution, are superior to those who have come before.

David Petraeus is a fine example of how the New Vanguard does business.

The resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus has brought a sudden and unexpected end to the public career of a four-star general who led U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq and was thought to be a potential candidate for president.


First we demonstrate how even the mighty can be brought to heel for implicating the Party or the Leader, and at the same time take a slap at the Republicans (who but they would likely nominate a soldier and spy-master?)

Next, we show the magnanimity of the Leader in graciously allowing the offender to fall on his sword, then leave it to un-named underlings to drag the corpse through the streets by its heels:

Petraeus admitted to an extramarital affair in tendering his resignation, which President Barack Obama accepted Friday.

Petraeus carried on the affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell, a reserve Army officer, according to several U.S. officials with knowledge of the situation. They spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss publicly the investigation that led to the resignation.


Then we remind all that We Are Watching You.

The FBI discovered the relationship by monitoring Petraeus' emails, after being alerted Broadwell may have had access to his personal email account, two of the officials said.


Then we get to the reasons behind this fall from grace:

CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell will serve as acting director, Obama said. Morell was the key CIA aide in the White House to President George W. Bush during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.


Set up the patsy and at the same time plant the seeds of guilt by association to explain why he too cannot be trusted

"I am completely confident that the CIA will continue to thrive and carry out its essential mission," Obama said.


Said mission being to deflect all blame from Benghazi from the White House and the Leader

The resignation comes at a sensitive time. The administration and the CIA have struggled to defend security and intelligence lapses before the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others. It was an issue during the presidential campaign that ended with Obama's re-election Tuesday.


Blame the political opposition for trying to politicize the issue to embarrass the Leader at a crucial time in his campaign.

The CIA has come under intense scrutiny for providing the White House and other administration officials with talking points that led them to say the Benghazi attack was a result of a film protest, not a militant terror attack. It has become clear that the CIA was aware the attack was distinct from the film protests roiling across other parts of the Muslim world.


Make it clear that all of the misinformation coming from the White House, the Party, and, most importantly, the Leader, was entirely due to lies told by Petraeus, and plant the meme that the only possible source of information was the CIA. Carefully exclude any reference to State Department communications or the realtime intelligence feeds from operators on the ground and assets in the air streaming live to the White House Situation Room. Make sure that everyone knows that the administration was duped by an unfaithful husband who simply cannot be trusted.

Morell rather than Petraeus now is expected to testify at closed congressional briefings next week on the assault on the consulate in Benghazi, which occurred on the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.


Set up the patsy. Remember folks, he was appointed by Bush and was part of 9/11. If he tries to implicate the White House, the Party, or the Leader, he's a dirty, dirty liar!

Now THAT’s how it’s DONE.

and it's acce ptable with the former commander-in-chief?no security breach there.and he was instrumental in getting the president re-elected!

Pakistan, North Korea,,Russia,Iran,just to name a few why didn't Bush and Cheney attack there. They actually have them.Thousands of lives and billions of dollars and no weapons. Bush not only fired those who didn't agree with him but branded them a traitor.

they were not in breach of UN-Sanctions and UN-Resolutions!

Iran? Then why did our allies object so much then.Now Iraq is openly working with the Iranian goverment who brake sanctions everyday.

General Allen has now been brought into this $hitstorm and his new command has been put on hold because of his involvement with one of the women in this case.

How many decorated heros are going to be taken out and distinguished careers ruined to cover Obama's a$$?

as many as it takes to fall on the Sword for that Emperor!

and what has that got to do with Saddam?
