About Patreous, I wonder what the line would be on whether this is about Beghazi. That is if people were betting on it, and if they could know.

Notice that he doesn't go away under the cloud of incompetence, it's because he shagged an underling. How convenient. Apparently he wouldn't take the resignation because of a second term option. Time for the Gen to write a book and hit the pundit circuit.

It's the CIA not TSA. ;-/

So now it appears an FBI agent who sent shirtless pics to the woman who received the threats seems to be the catalyst for this being exposed?

That lady seems to have another "close" relationship with a General who calls her sweetheart and exchanged 20-30,000 pages of emails. The plot thickens.

Not even Jerry Springer or Maury can top this story. All parties are married too!

Jill Kelly has a twin sister described as "unstable" who lives with her.

Waiting for evil twin angle to surface.

Well, it appears this Jill Kelley set up a bogus cancer charity. This nut job is close to the top Generals and the top guy at the CIA? That and that top General and Petreaus vouched for her twin sister during her divorce, giving written statements about her mothering abilities. Then this General exchanged 20-30,000 pages of emails with Kelley calling her sweetheart etc. I mena you are in Afghanistan leading the war effort an dhave time to exchnage 20-30,000 pages of email with a married woman???

No wonder the war effort is so disastrous-the Generals are busy chasing pussy instead of the enemy.

Here's another thing I never get.
Why is it, that every time a high profile person is caught in a sex scandal,
the media blames his power?

They almost always say things like... "Well people in high positions are narcissistic and are high on Power, they don't believe they'll get caught..."

They said it about Clinton, Edwards, Tiger, and now Betrayus.
When the truth is, all men are dogs. There's plenty of infidelity across all socioeconomic scales.

I think it has to do with the current politically correct belief that women are pure as the driven snow. That no woman can ever do wrong and even if she kills her husband or children-than a man must have driven her to it.

If Tiger Woods was a bus driver, you think that bimbo would have married him? Or all those women slept with him? The same with Edwards , Clinton and Patreaus-these women were willing to do anything-anything-to get to know these people in power. Some were married with kids and that didn't stop them.

But in the modern western world-you can't blame the women. They can't be held responsible for their actions or choices. The only ones who do are the Limbaughs and the Akins who act like neandrathals and this makes men look insane and the feminists continue on with their meme-men bad, womnen good.

Two things. One: it was brilliant for Obama to appoint so many Republicans in his admin, since sooner or later one or more of them would fuck up like they always do and he could be all 'hey man, I tried . . .'

This was clearly not the October surprise Cantor was looking for.

Now it seems as though 20-30,000 emails(email sex?) of the Gen and another Gen Allen, are under scrutiny for improper communications/relations with civilians, while one of those people has an intelligence background and also a security clearance. Those emails will be wisked away because of "an ongoing investigation". Coincidentally, Gen petraus is scheduled to testify about the Benghazi attack on an agency compound. That compound was also later exposed by two republicans in an attenpt to use the incident for some political gain right before the general election. That's a whole lot of emails that just went down the rat-hole of non-existence.

But, the number two guy in the republican party in the House, Eric Cantor, alledgedly knew about the then-secret compound before the election and surprisingly kept his mouth shut about it. Also, since when has an American diplomat been killed while in service to his diplomatic mission in a foreign country, and there's no state-level funeral for him?

To complicate matters even more, a socialite that's involved with the exposing of all this is now trying to claim diplomatic immunity.

A top General and CIA director isn't going to risk his reputation, position, or even his life on some hack author/honey trap. The classsified papers that she took probably were given to her in an effort by Petraus to cover his ass in some things that definitely went wrong. Cue Colin Powell on how to save face and reputation.

Eh? There was a funeral, I recall the President and the Sec. of State were there. Every TV in the SFO SkyClub had it on.

Sure you can. As long as it's reasonable and factual, don't matter if it's PC or not. For instance, in hip hop community, it is a well known fact that certain "women" are just "looking for a sponsor."

The media knows that the public enjoys their propaganda with a good dose of sexual intrigue heaped on it. Nothing new really.

The story and all of it's sexual overtones is apparently better than exposing what really is the reason for Petreus being shoved out to pasture.

NMA is great. You don't even need to know Chinese to appreciate it.

Jill Kelly could probably walk right in to the part of Cruella DeVille in an off-broadway production.

An interesting detail.

His affair does not matter, but if indeed he used Outlook client to send Gmail, well his incompetence does matter.

Who the hell does that???

My, my. It looks this Ms Kelley tried to use her Petraeus connections to try and get a 80 million dollar kickback.

Y'all didn't catch the basic trick they were using to "send" emails.

A shared gmail account, and only composed messages without sending. So each would login and check the drafts folder.

Just found this meme someone made:
