Petraeus out.
 
All men have the same weakness.

BBC News - CIA director Petraeus stands down over affair

GH85Carrera 11-09-2012 11:34 AM

Not all men succumb to the temptation.

He is right, that affair is unacceptable behavior.

He made a poor choice to think with the wrong head. At least the decision to step down was with the other head and the correct decision.

Honestly, if you can't get some action on the side and get away with it, you probably shouldn't be running the CIA. :D

No more Cloak and Dagger.

Shocking....but he did the right thing by "withdrawing"

svandamme 11-09-2012 12:44 PM

Well Bush sr was CIA director and became president
Clinten buggered up the intern and stayed president

Petraeus.. well, i guess he's a bit of a disappointment and won't make president at all .. .

I'm with Hardrive on this.. get caught like this as the CIA top dog..you are obviously playing ball way above his capabilities..
then again, didn't they did get OBL while he ran the CIA???

oh well

HARD DRIVE: were there not two high up military officers transferred or relieved of command
or went out for a beer or what ever the administration told us happened. That were in theater at the time sept 11 2012.

I guess her books title has a whole new meaning now: "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus "

:)

He's now qualified to be president (of the US).

Covert operations is obviously not his strength.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term 'wet work'.

Truer words were never written. But that job does tend to put a bullseye on your back for hot spies and blackmailers.

speeder 11-09-2012 03:48 PM

No schit. I mean come on, there are milk men and UPS drivers out there with a whole 'nother secret family.
